Simon & Garfunkel were the most successful folk-rock duo of the 1960s selling almost 40 million albums worldwide. Their distinct melodies and songs helped define a decade but at the height of their success, just four years after they burst into public consciousness, the duo split up. The former childhood best friends suffered from jealously, rivalry and betrayals. ‘Breaking the Bands: Simon and Garfunkel’ reveals the true story behind one of music’s most long-lasting, tempestuous relationships.

The Who sold over 100 million records in a career that spans over 50 years. As they were propelled to fame in the 1960’s they redefined youth culture with their aggressive antics on stage and off. With Pete Townshend’s genius, Roger Daltry’s voice and the drug fuelled capers of its unique rhythm section, Keith Moon and John Entwistle, The Who produced a stream of hits that made them household names worldwide. But with fame came conflict between Pete and Roger, as they tussled for control of the band. And with global superstardom came excess, which ended with Keith Moon’s tragic death in 1978. Somehow the remaining members managed to keep going, until they split in 1982. The Who have since reformed and the two remaining members, Pete and Roger, play on, and are still touring today.

Theatrical yet shy, excessive yet humble, exalted yet doomed – there has never been a frontman like Freddie Mercury; his hedonistic lifestyle captivated the press whilst his creative genius saw him top the charts with hit record after hit record. But hiding behind his carefully crafted public persona was a tumultuous inner life that few got to see. Now, in this fascinating program, acclaimed psychiatrist Dr Bob Johnson, combined with contributions from those who knew Freddie Mercury the best, will try to uncover the disparity between what people think they know about Freddie and who he really was. Secretive to the very end, we will build a psychological picture of the man who started life as Farrokh Bulsara, but ended it as Freddie Mercury.

In 2018 Queen had achieved the seemingly impossible. A multi-Oscar winning hit movie and a sell out world wide tour has seen the band become bigger than ever before, nearly thirty years after the tragic loss of the iriconic frontman, Freddie Mercury. “Queen and Adam Lambert: The Show Must Go On” picks up where the box office smash hit “Bohemian Rhapsody” leaves off. Beginning at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992, it charts how Brian May and Roger Taylor struggled to come to terms with Freddie’s passing and sought out a new direction. Continuing without Freddie was unthinkable, but then so was allowing Queen and their music to fade into a museum piece.
What followed was a journey of reconnecting with their audience through the record breaking“We Will Rock You – The Musical”, a concert in Cape Town for Nelson Mandela’s 46664 charity, and a brief but successful collaboration with singer Paul Rodgers. At the same time, a young singer who seems destined to pursue a successful career in musical theatre makes the bold decision to enter American Idol. Adam Lambert has since become one of the most popular and memorable contestants ever to appear on the show, and week after week demonstrated his extraordinary vocal range andflairfor showmanship. A phenomenal rendition of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” provided the moment that would change his life forever, culminating in a performance of “We Are The Champions” with Brian and Roger in the season finale.
“Bohemian Rhapsody” tells how fate delivered Freddie Mercury to Brian and Roger, “The Show Must Go On”reveals how lightening struck twice when it delivered them Adam. What has followed is an eight year partnership that has captivated the world, and brought a whole new legion of fans to Queen’s music.

In the mid 1980s, hair metal band Poison fronted by ambitious Bret Michaels and wild lead guitarist C.C Deville, bass player Bobby Dahl and drummer Rikki Rockett were united in their determination to become global rock stars. Through sheer hard work and relentless promotion, they did indeed take the world by storm within a couple of years of landing in Los Angeles. Thanks to their spectacular arena gigs and 40 million album and DVD sales, they have become one of the world’s most successful and enduring glam rock stars. Their off-stage excess and partying, along with their female following at all the parties, was legendary. But Fame and fortune cost them dear and they paid big time. By the 1990s, serious cracks began to appear. Festering jealousies and power struggles, worsening addictions, gladiatorial backstage fist fights and ultimately burnout from constant touring and partying were amongst the trials they faced.. So which of these ended up poisoning Poison ? Or was their fate sealed by outside forces beyond their control ? Hold on tight !

A band is almost always defined by its frontman and normally there is only one of them – ego, talent & chemistry demand it. But Kiss is different. They have two frontmen: Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley who somehow shared the limelight, and gave us a spectacle like no other – fire bombs, smoking guitars and spitting blood were all part of the act. Both their backgrounds were scarred by childhood trauma and together they created alter-egos named the Starchild and the Demon, masked characters that would take on the world. But hiding behind their personas was a recipe for disaster. This is the story of how two of the most legendary frontmen managed to share a vision and a stage forming a band that became one of the best-selling rock n roll acts of all time, selling more than 100 million records worldwide.
