They achieved legendary status as they delivered THE defining performance of the century at Live Aid as well as headlining massive stadium concerts all over the world. Queen also released some of their best loved and most anthemic work in this period, before and after the passing of Freddie Mercury in 1991.\r\rNow in 2011 Island Records reissue the five Queen albums from this period on September 5th (to coincide with what would have been Freddie Mercury\u2019s 65th birthday) as part of the band\u2019s 40th Anniversary celebrations \u2013 \u2018The Works\u2019, \u2018A Kind Of Magic\u2019, \u2018The Miracle\u2019, \u2018Innuendo\u2019 and \u2018Made In Heaven\u2019. The reissues will be accompanied by the third in the \u2018Queen: Deep Cuts\u2019 series, which looks at some of the lesser known tracks from these albums. \r\rMany Queen favourites were released during this period including \u2018Radio Gaga\u2019 (the track from which Lady Gaga took her name), \u2018I Want To Break Free\u2019 (complete with the infamous cross-dressing Coronation Street parody video that MTV banned in the US), \u2018One Vision\u2019, \u2018A Kind of Magic\u2019, \u2018I Want It All\u2019, \u2018The Miracle\u2019 and \u2018These Are The Days of Our Lives\u2019 (featuring Freddie\u2019s final haunting video appearance).\r\rThese five albums cover the era when Queen were elevated to truly legendary status as they stole the show at Live Aid in front of a global TV audience of 1.9 billion people, and wowed audiences with subsequent headline shows at Knebworth and Wembley in 1986, the latter recently voted by the public as one of the most iconic events ever seen at the stadium. This was also Queen\u2019s most consistent period of commercial success with each of the five albums going platinum in the UK and \u2018A Kind of Magic\u2019 and \u2018Made in Heaven\u2019 each selling over 1 million copies, the latter doing so four years after Freddie\u2019s death showing that the Queen legacy reigns eternal.\r\r\rAs well as their huge UK gigs they continued the global domination of the late 70\u2019s playing Rock in Rio twice to crowds of over 300,000 each time. On their subsequent Magic tour they sold over 1 million tickets around the world playing the first ever stadium gig in Eastern Europe at the Nepstadium in Budapest with fans hitchhiking from all over the Eastern Bloc to attend.\r\rAfter Freddie\u2019s death The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert saw a packed Wembley set alight again to the music of Queen once again in April 1992, with stars from all over the world joining Queen surviving members John Deacon, Brian May and Roger Taylor on stage. Subsequently The Mercury Phoenix Trust was founded to help distribute money raised from this concert for AIDS awareness. Since then, the Trust has raised and distributed over $15 million to help in the fight against AIDS. The charity has just created a truly unique initiative with the launch of the 'Freddie For A Day' Global Charity Network.\r\rQueens 40th Anniversary year has kicked off in spectacular style so far with their first ever major exhibition 'Stormtroopers in Stilettos' in London\u2019s East End which drew an incredible crowd of over 20,000 visitors in two weeks, and kicked off with a star studded launch party attended by the likes of Foo Fighters and Jessie J. \r\rA recent two part BBC TV documentary drew widespread rave reviews as Brian May and Roger Taylor looked back over their first 40 years in detail for the first time. The Guardian described it as \u2018fantastic and moving\u2019.\r\rMeanwhile the bands first ten albums have been reissued to considerable acclaim. The Telegraph said of their early work, 'Queen's greatest music was extravagantly innovative, technically brilliant and created with a jeweller's care.\u2019 \r\rThese last five studio albums highlight the diverse talent, musical ambition and global success of a band made up of some of the best songwriters, musicians and performers of all time.\r\rwww.queenonline.com\rwww.freddieforaday.com\r\rFor further information please contact William Rice (print) or Anna Meacham (online) at Purple William@purplepr.com / anna.meacham@purplepr.com\r\r1.
