Spike Edney: Life on the Road with Queen, Portsmouth Roots & a 2026 Surprise
On the latest episode of The MarshyCast, I sit down with Spike Edney, the musician best known for his years touring with Queen.
Spike opens up about growing up in Portsmouth, how music first grabbed him, and how his career eventually led him onto the biggest stages in the world alongside one of rock’s most iconic bands.
We also talk about his brilliant one-man show What’s It Like To Be Spike?, packed with stories from the road, behind-the-scenes moments with Queen, and the reality of life on tour.
And for Queen fans — there’s a moment in the chat where Spike hints that a major anniversary show could be on the horizon in 2026…
A must-listen for music lovers, Queen fans, and anyone fascinated by the stories that happen offstage.
