One of the biggest Instagram fan pages of Queen, “Freddie Mercury Club” has remembered the last live performance of Freddie Mercury, which happened 33 years ago today.
As Freddie Mercury Club mentioned, 33 years ago today, legendary frontman Freddie Mercury and Queen performed their last live performance at Knebworth on August 9th 1986.
Here is what Queen legend Mercury told the 120.000 people in the crowd that day:
“I think most of you know this is the last stop on our tour. You know that don’t you? And such a beautiful way to end it.
I mean look at the lot of you. I might also add that this has been the best European tour for us, thanks to all you fuckers out there.”
And here are some info from that day:
In “true bombastic style” the band arrived at Knebworth Park by helicopter.
Queen played to over 120000 fans at Knebworth. Their biggest audience on the Magic Tour…
I love Freddie’s referring to over 120000 people as “a slightly small gig” 😍❤😂”
