The band is streaming a high-speed video montage to remind viewers of legendary – and lesser-known – moments that demonstrate why Queen is so highly-regarded by fans around the world.
The milestone 50th episode – making 100 shows in total, including the original series in 2021 – sees the group sharing their history in a 5-minute video reel.
Compiled by series producer Simon Lupton, 100 landmark events from Queen’s career are represented, including the band’s ascent to the big league at the Rainbow Theatre in 1974, Freddie revving up the Wembley Stadium crowd at 1985’s Live Aid and the Magic Helicopter choppering over the 120,000-strong Knebworth Park audience for the final Mercury-era performance in 1986.
But amongst the flagship moments in this quickfire montage, you’ll also spot curios from deep in the Queen vaults. Blink and you’ll miss Freddie sat on the shoulders of Superman, the lineup taking tea on their inaugural tour of Japan in 1975 and the Miracle Express locomotive tearing along the Nene Valley Railway as the band film the video for 1989’s “Breakthru”.
The series represented the post-Freddie era with clips featuring the band with Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert in the new millennium, reimagining those timeless anthems with cutting-edge audio-visual production.
Queen and Lambert are currently playing shows in Japan as part of the Rhapsody Tour.
