An original colour publicity photograph of Freddie Mercury performing with Queen at Wembley Stadium, capturing one of the defining live performances of the band's career. The image shows Mercury in his iconic yellow military-style jacket and white military trousers during the celebrated Magic Tour, a look that has become synonymous with Queen's legendary stadium concerts.
Unlike standard EMI publicity photographs, this example was produced as a television promotional still for Channel 5. The printed caption identifies the photograph as promoting the broadcast of Queen: The Phenomenon, advertised for Sunday 12 March at 8.00 pm, and includes the official Channel 5 copyright and reproduction notice. It therefore represents an authentic piece of television promotional material rather than a later commercial reproduction.
The photograph is printed on Kodak photographic paper and comes from the Shields Gazette photographic archive, where it was retained for editorial reference. Images associated with Queen's Wembley performances remain among the most recognisable and enduring in rock music history, making official promotional photographs of this type highly desirable to collectors.
Very good condition with minor edge wear and light creasing consistent with age, editorial handling and archive storage.
Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
