^ I wonder what John had with going on holidays during studio sessions time...
The same happens with the Innuendo recording, for example.

He was a family man. If that's when the wife and kids had time for holidays, then why not? :P

Picturing myself John on the camping in front of the caravan :)
Were it family holidays?

Nitrogirl (whoops!), I get your point, but maybe he used it as an excuse for avoiding shitty situations.
I'll quote inu-liger: 'I've read elsewhere that he was on holidays quite a bit during the Innuendo sessions, and was absent from the first week of rehearsals for the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert (Neil Murray apparently filled in for him during that time).'
Magic sessions, Innuendo sessions, Tribute rehearsals... what a coincidence.

Not much concrete evidence for this, but it might be inferred from his behaviour. While Freddie's death was the catalysts for John, I think it is reasonable to speculate that he might have begun distancing himself from the others before this.

Was it? Really? Besides the tribute of course, he had no problem performing with Rog in '93 (as Queen), recording parts of 'Made in Heaven' and being involved in 'No-One But You' and the Elton thing in '97.

So what truly killed it for John. The musical?

No, it was long before that. He left the band in 1998.
And he has certainly inferred that he was already becoming disillusioned by the business in the 80s.

Fascinating question we can only imagine all the possible scenarios, clearly live aid injected energy into the group..rock bands go through the initial success (like the Rolling Stones say) about ten years maybe...then things tend to get stale..maybe 10-15 years either break up or limp on..until there almost re-discovered and have this second wind..the original audience has this nostalgia and you turn into the stones..Paul McCartney..elton John etc of today, where it's basically karioke of bygone hits, but the cash rolls in like never before.
Queen with Freddie, I feel, had this 'second era' shot with live aid..people who thought of them as a 1970s band re-discovered them..and the rest is history.
So I think..probably yes would have split, but for some reason they were given this opportunity that perhaps they would have had years later,like other bands..almost like a strange fate, in a way there going through a 3rd phase now (regardless of what people here might think..it appears the general public are nostalgic for them..there filling stadiums just like the old days..Freddie would approve I'm sure ££ ).
Geldoff is to blame yup, he's gone up in my estimation shouting at Nigel farage on a boat in the Thames today randomly today!.

Nickgreenuk, re:

But the fishermen who were interviewed made him look like a complete and utter twat....... ;-) Geldof must have some material in the works for release.......

Is there any statistic to show who benefited more from Live Aid financially - Queen or Ethiopia.

I'm not sure but I think in Jim Hutton's or Peter Freestone's book was something written about this case.
