A 74-year-old man has appeared in court accused of strangling a woman during a performance of the musical We Will Rock You, at a show attended by Queen guitarist Brian May. The alleged assault took place inside the theatre, and the case is now proceeding through the courts, though the article provides limited further detail on the circumstances or the venue involved.

Beyond the pensioner's age and the alleged charge of strangulation, few additional facts are given, including the date of the incident, the specific theatre, or the identity of the alleged victim. Brian May's presence at the performance appears to be incidental to the reported courtroom proceedings rather than directly connected to the alleged offence.
