Preston explains in a video preview about the event posted on Instagram, “We’re gonna have some fun. We’re gonna show you a lot of really cool stuff I have on my walls, a lot of which you probably haven’t seen. And tell some rock stories, take some question and try to have a bunch of laughs.”

The livestream begins at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT.

Neal’s resume includes being Led Zeppelin’s U.S. tour photographer in the mid-1970s, being one of the official photographers of the 1985 Live Aid concert at London’s Wembley Stadium, and accompanying Billy Joel on the Piano Man’s tour of Russia.

Among Preston’s most famous images is a photo of Freddie Mercury onstage during a 1986 Queen show at Wembley Stadium that was used as the basis for the main poster promoting the Bohemian Rhapsody biopic.
