This episode is part two of our interview with Neal Preston. First off, if you haven’t listened to the part one interview with Neal, we highly recommend you start there.

In part two - Neal starts by talking about his relationship with Queen. His many years photographing them. His love for a great friend and muse; Stevie Nicks. Neal also shot 6 Olympic games, and not only shot Nancy Kerrigan the night she got hit in the knees, but was with her in the doctor’s office when she got the results from the MRI. He talks about two of his favorite concerts, The Who & MC5. Being on an airplane with a very drunk John Bonham. And we hear his story about the ever famous shot of Bruce Springsteen at Wembley Stadium.
