The tour featured nine sold-out dates in Bophuthatswana, South Africa, at the arena in Sun City.Upon returning to England, they were the subject of outrage, having played there during the height of apartheid and in violation of worldwide divestment efforts. The band responded to the critics by stating that they were playing music for fans in that country, and they also stressed that the concerts were played before integrated audiences.

  • Go Queen!!!!

  • Rod Stewart, Queen, people like that "jerks" for playing in South Africa... Yet it is now the year 2011 and their songs live on... Where are yours? Not even on elevators. Why do you sell your albums and perform in England, when they are guilty of selling arms to arab dictators that assassinate their own people in order to stay in power? Go back to sucking John Oates' cock, you flaming fag!

  • @SpandexManney - Odd you call John Oates a fag ,when it was Freddy Mercury who was the real one.

  • Freddie's like, " ah, my home continent!"

  • I am curious as to Queen's decision to play Bophuthatswana. Does anyone know the motivation behind the decision? Not that I am being judgmental, I am just curious as to why. If it was a political statement within itself during such a tumultuous time.

  • queen if they could turn back the clock they would have not played it was the worst feeling afterwards they regrett it to this day

  • @jjoeuk He was gay, but not a stupid flaming "IN YOUR FACE" fag.

  • @SpandexManney you do know that fredddie mercury was gay? so now you only like rod stewart.....

  • Awww.... Daryl Hall's a jealous baby? AWWWW. Queen is damn hell the BEST band in the world and you're just a pathetic Daryl Hall.

  • Thumbs up if Daryl Hall is a cunt.

  • Funny, Daryl Hall didn't seem to have a problem with earning money from all the record shops in South Africa that sold his music.
