Croatian Mayor Calls For Freddie Mercury Comeback
The mayor of Croatia's capital city Zagreb received some disappointing news recently. According to ananova.com, Milan Bandic said on national television that he would like to see deceased Queen frontman Freddie Mercury perform in his city. Bandic, who is hoping to bring a little rock to Zagreb, said, quote, "I would like to see David Bowie play in Zagreb. And Freddie Mercury could come too." Bandic was reportedly shocked to discover that Mercury had died 18 years ago. Many Croatian citizens were stunned by the mistake, but the error is not expected to hurt Bandic in this weekend's elections. Zagreb resident Mirjana Popovic remarked, quote, "It might seem he is a little bit out of touch when he says things like this but he is the right man for mayor."
