@Ferom79

[Lucchese1986]

@Ferom79 you are such a stupid ass bastard. you have no idea really. just shut the fuck up you prick..

[rishirao85]

If they had known that Freddie was of Indian origin then I doubt they would have welcomed him at the airport.

[Charlotte26Brecknell]

@rishirao85 He was from Zanzibar...

[rishirao85]

@Charlotte26Brecknell

He was born in Zanzibar but that does not eliminate the fact that he was of Indian origin.

[Charlotte26Brecknell]

@rishirao85 well as he was parsi , and most came from iran and fled to india.. i suppose thats true!

[GigglinMarley]

Members of Queen were widely criticised in the 1980s for the fact that they broke a United Nations cultural boycott by performing a series of shows at Sun City in 1984, an entertainment complex in Bophuthatswana, a homeland of (then) apartheid South Africa. As a result of these shows, Queen was placed on a United Nations list of artists who broke the boycott and was widely criticised in magazines such as the NME. Q: Wiki.

"We've brought the works"

I wonder if that was an intentional double play on words, considering their latest album at that time.

[ToyKotoMadman]

Interviewer: "Will you able to perform?" Freddie: "Oh yeah! Othervice I wouldn't be here."

[zsifk]

@ToyKotoMadman

Strangely enough, his voice pack up on this visit and one of their shows had to be cancelled. So not such a funny question.

[wwerulestna]

They spelt his name wrong

[ToyKotoMadman]

Very annoying when people do that. I is Freddie Mercury, not Freddy Mercury and it is Jimi Hendrix, not Jimmy Hendrix

[ToyKotoMadman]

It is*

[vicmbjwe]

Do you want to HEAR some of the concerts ofr Sun City???

I will upload them coming soon!

[geperghool]

wow! first time seeing this footage! cool!

[TheGapMedia]

I was at the show on this particular leg of the tour at Sun City when Freddie lost his voice and the show was cancelled. They were only on stage for about 20 minutes when the publicist anounced the show was to be stopped. I was n the 2nd row. It was a sad day for me.

[KonChul]

@TheGapMedia Thank you for sharing that. Not many Queen fans knows or even cares about this but i love it all so thank you for sharing that. What was the overall atmosphere in SA at that time that Queen was coming there to perform?

[scarry07]
