Freddie Mercury
The pictures: Queen at a tea ceremony on the grass of the Tokyo Prince Hotel’s garden in April 1975. This was their first tour of Japan 🇯🇵 Photos by Koh Hasebe.
29 April 1985, Queen performed their final evening @ Entertainment Centre in Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺
“The Works Tour”
This is the band’s final performance in Australia with Freddie Mercury.
A fan recalls: “Brian played part of Waltzing Matilda again during his guitar solo. Also, at one point of the show Freddie’s mic died, and apparently it was while he was up on top of the stage behind Roger’s drum kit. And at the end of the show, Roger trashed his drum kit.”
QUEEN PERFORMED @ BRØNDBY HALLEN IN COPENHAGEN, DENMARK 🇩🇰 “A DAY AT THE RACES TOUR”
“A Kind of Magic” is the title track of the 1986 album of the same name by the British rock band Queen. It was written by the band’s drummer, Roger Taylor, for the film Highlander and featured as the ending theme. The single reached number three in the UK Singles Chart, top ten in a number of European countries, and #42 on the US BillboardHot 100.[1] The song is the opening track on the band’s compilation albums, Greatest Hits II, and Classic Queen.[2]
It was late July 1982, when Freddie phoned and invited us to join him with the band on the West Coast leg of the Queen America ‘82 tour. We would fly to Vancouver B.C. on September 4, and attend the Queen concert that evening. This promised to be an “Out Of This World” experience for not only Lee and myself, but Joe Scardilli and John Murphy who managed to schedule themselves off—so rarely accomplished with their work as flight attendants.
