It’s 30 years since Freddie Mercury died. His music is still the soundtrack of our lives:

He fearlessly pushed at artistic boundaries, and believed in the spontaneity of live performance; Freddie Mercury’s legend continues.

'Imagine' is 50 today. Imagine if John Lennon had lived...and had played at LIVE AID. Do you think he would have? @yokoono

It’s the 36th anniversary of @live_aid1985 today! When Queen played Live Aid, 13 July 1985, they were just one of a multitude of incredible bands who performed, but were unanimously voted as the band that stole the show! What was your favourite moment of their set? 🎤✨ #LiveAid
