is a tribute to Paul Rodgers, the band play a selection of songs from the many different eras of Paul Rodgers; spanning over his 37 year career at the top: from Free to Queen. In the eighties, Paul Rodgers collaborated with the guitarist from Led Zeppelin - Jimmy Page to form the band 'The Firm'. Furthermore, Paul Rodgers, during the nineties, also worked with the guitarist from Def Leppard - Phil Collen to form the band 'The Law'. Heartbreaker not only includes songs from these eras but also from Paul Rodgers' solo career. However, Heartbreaker mainly draws from the Bad Company era. Sometime this year, they are antipating the release of an album from Paul Rodgers and Queen, and they can't wait to include some of those songs into their set. Their band plays at various venues in the United Kingdom and audiences appreciate the live experience of Heartbreaker. This year they will be crossing the English Channel to travel to Beguim and other European countries. They look forward to seeing you at our gig,
Live for the music, Heartbreaker

Rock superstar Paul Rodgers (Bad Company, Free, Queen) was honored with a special award commemorating his 40 years in the music business. Bassist Tony Franklin - who played in The Firm with Rodgers in the mid-'80s - served as event emcee in Fender's Rhythm Lounge. Former Firm and AC/DC drummer Chris Slade, David Pack of Ambrosia, members of Dramarama and sound pioneer Bob Heil were also present.
Franklin presided over an auction of a Rodgers gold record and Fender Mexican Stratocaster electric guitar with necklace (the instrument fetched $24,000). A silent memorabilia auction raised even more money for Kids Rock Free.
Among the items on display in the newly-expanded VIP exhibit are pieces of a broken guitar and fuzz pedal from The Who's Pete Townshend, handwritten lyrics to alt-rock hit "Anything Anything" by Dramarama, plus signed instruments and memorabilia from Rodgers, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Miller, Peter Frampton, Muddy Waters, Dick Dale, Nirvana, Blink-182 and others.
A special section is devoted to Heil, who developed the quadrophonic sound mixer for The Who and developed the Talk Box made famous by Frampton, Joe Walsh and Richie Sambora.
The Igniters, a quintet comprised of 12-14 year-olds from the Kids Rock Free program, closed the event with a brief live set of cover tunes.

Twenty-five years after Rodgers released his first solo album, Cut Loose, the record will be back on shelves as a newly re-mastered Silver 25th Anniversary Limited Edition. Of course, this year isnt only momentous because of that anniversary, it also marks Rodgers 40th year as a recording artist. Over his tenure, Paul has affected much of rock royalty. Jimmy Page spoke of him, stating, Working with Paul gave me the opportunity to appreciate what an extraordinary vocalist this man really is, while Brian May stated, Having now had the privilege to work with Paul it is even more clear to me that Paul Rodgers is the rock/blues voice they all look up to. You can look up to Rodgers too when Cut Loose gets re-released on March 4th.
