I know Queen is well-loved in the UK. Can they sellout 7-8 big venues, especially in the winter? I know, I worry too much!!!
Yes, they will sellout all these shows...at least they have in recent history. And in the past they have played more shows in the UK.
I can only find one recent UK arena boxscore - from the 2008 Rock the Cosmos Tour - but all of these shows were sold out or close....
