July 27, 1986, Queen performed at Népstadion, Budapest “Magic Tour”
That evening, Queen gifted their fans by learning and performing a quintessential Hungarian folk song, ‘Tavaszi szél vizet áraszt’ (Spring Winds Floods water)
One of the most beautiful and well-known Hungarian folksongs is ‘Tavaszi szél vizet áraszt’ (Spring wind floods water), in which water, the source of all life, appears as the metaphor of love. It is the first song that Hungarians learn and continue to cherish, as it has become a solid part of their culture and identity.
Upon arriving in Budapest, Freddie insisted on learning the well known folk song so he could perform it at their concert.
During the acoustic set that evening, Freddie and Brian performed the traditional Hungarian song, before which Freddie admits, “Now comes the difficult bit.” Even though he’s clearly seen reading the lyrics scribed on his hand to make sure his pronunciation was as accurate as possible. The performance is magnificent and the audience are very appreciative of the gesture.

1 December 1977, Queen performed at the legendary Madison Square Garden, New York, New York
‘News of The World’ Tour
When Freddie came out for the first encore of ‘We Will Rock You’ and ‘We Are The Champions’ he donned a jacket and hat with the New York Yankees logos, much to the wild applause of the audience. The Yankees had just won the World Series in October and adopted ‘We Are The Champions’ as their team song!
Freddie’s gesture was all too appropriate and he just loved how the team adopted Queen’s highly successful anthemic song.

Long Live Queen
We owe Freddie a lot. I have to say, Freddie tends to have the image of being someone who’s like a diva and won’t compromise, but actually, Freddie was a wonderful force of coherenceIf he was questioned in the interviews about being the leader of the band, he would always say, ‘No, I’m not the, I’m the lead singer, but we are a democracy.’
It was absolutely true. So very often, Roger and John would be pulling in opposite directions. Roger and myself always in opposite directions. Freddie would be able to find the sort of glue to make it still hang together.So I think we all owe Freddie a lot because of that, the catalyst that he was apart from being a great creator in his own right.”Brian May
