Original Queen promotional photograph featuring Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor sharing a light-hearted backstage moment whilst wearing oversized Mexican sombreros. The image was taken by internationally renowned rock photographer Neal Preston, whose work documenting Queen during their peak years has become some of the most recognisable imagery associated with the band.
Issued by Queen Productions Ltd. as part of the promotional campaign for the 1995 album Made In Heaven, the photograph reproduces an iconic candid image from Queen's archive, celebrating the band's humour and camaraderie away from the stage. The image carries the official Queen logo together with the Made In Heaven emblem and photographer credit to Neal Preston.
This is an original period promotional photograph from the Shields Gazette photographic archive, retained by the newspaper for editorial reference. Blank to the reverse, it represents authentic music industry publicity material rather than a modern reproduction and would make an excellent addition to any Queen, Freddie Mercury or classic rock collection.
Very good condition with minor edge wear and light creasing consistent with age and archival handling.
Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
