Hi everybody,
Here is the scan and the translation into English. Enjoy the reading.
A casual meeting in Monterey
QUEEN
Nobody recognized them
After having witnessed an extraordinary concert at the Estadio Universitario de Monterrey, where a peaceful and orderly event took place, I was at the airport to leave for Mexico City.
We confirmed the flight and I went to the cafeteria to have some breakfast and kill some time. To my surprise I saw some somewhat familiar guys. I couldn't believe it, there were Roger Taylor and John Deacon, having some food. They were alone as if they were ordinary people. Then Brian May arrived. No doubt it was the group Queen. With them were their bodyguards.
I got stuck because I didn't know if when I approached them they would reject me. Hesitate. However, it was not an opportunity to waste and cautiously I approached them "can I take some photos?" I asked and a bodyguard said: "Just one..." I answered "OK." When I did, John Deacon told me: "Hey, these photos you took in the newspaper are very bad"... I told him that I didn't have them.
Since I worked for a rock magazine and I also told them that they were bad... Noemi, the person who also took some photos at the concert, meanwhile, asked for autographs and they gladly gave them to her. Then I asked for tea about Freddie Mercury and they told me: "He's at the bar having a beer." I went there, I greeted him, I asked him if I could take a photo and he accepted. I did it, thanked him and left. A few minutes later they announce my flight and I say goodbye to them.
