Killer opportunity

Annie Crummer has been handpicked by the surviving members of Queen to sing on the remake of their best-selling single Another One Bites the Dust. The NZ singer caught the attention of Brian May and Roger Taylor after they saw her performing in the hit Queen musical We Will Rock You in Japan and Australia. Crummer was flown to London to record the track at the pair’s studio in a historic 400-year-old mill. “Annie is one hell of a singer! A voice in a million,” May reportedly told friends after the session. May and Taylor were so impressed with Crummer’s performance that they have signed her on for a percentage of the song’s royalties – which could potentially earn her millions. Crummer played the lead character Killer Queen on the Australian and Japanese tours of We Will Rock You, and will repeat her performance in NZ in October. The Auckland-born singer is best known in NZ for her hit 80s and 9s0 singles For Today, Melting Pot and See What Love Can Do.
