Queen star is busking to save the tiger

Queen guitarist Brian May is playing a free half-hour gig at St Pancras station tonight at 6pm with singer Kerry Ellis, of the musical We Will Rock You, to launch the three-week Tiger Tracks campaign to help endangered tigers.

The station features the Veolia tiger, above, made from recycled materials.

Threatened by the use of their body parts in traditional Chinese medicine, there are only 3,500 tigers left in the wild. Supporters will be able to donate by text to protect the areas where tigers are allowed to roam free, said May.
