The Show Must Go On

Love of My Life

(Disclaimer: this is a part of my story I will share with you that the media doesn't show you about me. My personal life like my relationship)

April 1984
Curt was the sweetest guy I've have ever meet. We took our time with our relationship. His new album was coming out soon and I was totally his #1 fan! We couldn't believe we finally found each other. My dad and mom were so happy we loved each other. Everyone supported us. My dad loved Curt I remember when he first meet my dad it was so awesome! "your dad is a huge inspiration" I laughed and said "my dad?!" Wasn't weird was it..no. So I was going to college and seeing Curt at the same time, while my dad was touring the world.

Before Tears for Fears albums got released in February next year, I got to spend some time with Curt. I decided to move in with him a couple month after dating. So we'd be closer I was going to school in England at the same time. It was only 2 hrs away from my school to see Curt. And plus my dad was 13 minutes from my dad who was in Garden Lodge. My mom was in America with her boyfriend.

"This would look so good right here" I said to Curt we were moving furniture around our new place. "I agree"
I was so happy with Curt I couldn't believe I found love I've always wanted love like my parents. It was nice that he loved me for myself and not for who I was known for. Little by little he would do interviews in London for his upcoming album with Roland and I was always back stage rooting for them and the band. He supported me in my dreams and my family and I supported him in his dreams and was his biggest fan!

July 7th 1985

a day i will never forget, Live Aid was a benefit concert for Ethiopian faming held at Wembly Stadium in London, and among all the stars that were there everyone was super excited to see Queen as we heard from many before the concert even started. i was most excited to see U2, and Phil Collins, and David Bowie, oh and Queen of course!

everyone was backstage, and I brought Curt (Tears for Fears didn't perform) before it started my dad and my uncles started doing rehearsals and warm ups. my dad was not nervous one bit, more of excited as we can say, uncle Brian was fixing his strings to his guitar he was fixing his curls at some point too, my uncle John was stretching his arms and legs, while drinking some cold water, he was most nervous out of all for some reason he told me "it feels like the very first time i performed that's what it feels like.." i told him to take deep breathes and also told him "this day will go down in history, i just know it" my uncle Roger was putting on his sunglasses and his wristbands and fixing his shoes, he wasn't nervous at all, he was a dare devil and lived for these types of performances could you believe it.

the minute was getting closer and i could tell my dad was ready for this, hes been ready for this his whole life, i looked over at him and smiled and said "this is your big comeback dad, i can fill it right in my gut" he grinned and drank a huge gulp of his beer and said "this is our time Vanessa, not just mine, we've come so far, and finally everyone is going to enjoy this performance i just know it" he clapped his hands and said "alright darlings lets go and fucking do this for the world" as we all gathered as one and all walked to the stage my heart was racing for my dad, he dreamed of this day to come. i gave all of them a huge hug than i whispered in my dads ear "no matter what the show must go on.."

as it is said, "Queen stole the show hands down" i was there to witness myself, nobody expected for Queen to grab the attention once and for all from the audience, he was a perfect example of one of the greatest showman of all time. the after party was hectic everyone wanted Queen as an interview, we got followed everywhere we went, they told us "we raised $44 million, and the most exciting news ever! one billion viewers tuned in, this is history at its finessed!!" we celebrates by joining the final curtain call, i've never been so proud to be apart of my fathers life and success. this all meant that he was coming back, and they laughed at all the clashers who doubt they'd come back, i knew it from the beginning this was Queens royalty coming home!
