'We Will Rock You' UK Tour.
Rhydian will star as Khashoggi in the jukebox musical of Queen songs, 'We Will Rock You' when it tours in 2011. No specific dates for his appearances have yet been confirmed but Rhydian has written "They're touring for a year but I will be in it for a short stint. The Welsh dates are probably the safest bet. If it works out I would like to do the Birmingham dates. I might be in Southampton but that is subject to change."
