In 1974, Queen arrived arrive 2 hours late, and according to some, were initially booed during their set to screams of "go back to Pommyland, ya pooftahs". Lead singer, Freddie Mercury retorted, "When we come back to Australia, Queen will be the biggest band in the world!" In May 2009, on "Spicks and Specks", Daddy Cool front man Ross Wilson disputed this as an urban legend and said Queen finished their set, even doing an encore. The early version of Skyhooks were also booed and, after watching a recording of their performance, lead singer Steve Hill quit and was replaced by Graeme "Shirley" Strachan.
