Russell's stuck on the M5. Will he make it in time for the concert I wonder.

[R2Speedway]

True and I think he has still got nearly 2 hours travel to go.

Saw a tweet about 7.30 from girl who worked at ice rink saying she bumped into Russell outside so it looks like he made it.

[Keiko]

Glad Russell arrived safe and sound Thanks for letting us know R2Speedway.
It must have been another gorgeous night

[JillwithaJay]

We rang the venue who confirmed that Russell made it but arrived about ten minutes late.

[RussellsEcclesGirl]

Very glad he made it in the end - he must have been worried!

What a fantastic concert It started later and Russell explained about the traffic and how Robert and orchestra choir had no rehearsal Russell started with God save the queen and we all stood up Russell sang eversong on the new album except proud and robert and orchestra did nimrod dambusters etc the extra songs Russell sang was you raise me up bring him home bridge over troubled water which was dedicated to troops in afghanistan who didnt make it home. he sang with Laura land of hope and glory and whitecliffs of dover she sang 2 songs born free and one she sang in front of queen great voice. Russell took off an american accent brilliantly talking about washington gig someone shouted out sing nessun dorma and he said whatever i laughed . Robert was barefeet never saw him like that before he was funny . i gave Robert a present and he thanked me and smiled i gave Russell a present and he said come over here gave me a hug and said thankyou sweetheart he went to give me peck on cheek but i beat him too it and gave him a peck on the cheek i was so close i could see into his lovely eyes . i also lent him a flag on the last part of the show and he thanked me he waved it then it got passed to Robert who also used it as a baton lol then laura waved it it might be on its way to portsmouth lol there were plenty of ovations some flag waving my mum who seen him for the first time live said he is fantastic and Russell gave her a smile Russell was funny chatty he also when he got up from hugging me said to us all have i split my trousers and lifted up his jacket we all laughed and said no my photos didnt come out sadly but bought signed poster and programme gorgeous photos from the album he looked so handsome on stage in dark suit and white tie orchestra fantastic he joked plenty with Robert
