Queen’s Final Performance With Freddie Mercury in 1986
While Queen has never officially broken up, the end of their peak was in 1986 when the band performed their final show with iconic frontman Freddie Mercury. While Queen had given the public no indication of this show being their last, it would ultimately become just that, as the original lineup never reunited before Mercury’s death in 1991.
During the unplanned final performance, Mercury and Queen attracted a crowd of 120,000. The incidental grand finale consisted of performances of the Queen classics “Radio Ga Ga”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, and more. Despite it not being purposeful, it was a grand send-off.
