The Magic Tour was the biggest and final tour by the English rock band Queen with their lead singer Freddie Mercury. The next band's tour Queen + Paul Rodgers Tour began some 19 years later, after the death of Freddie Mercury and the retirement of John Deacon. The tour took in 26 dates around Europe's stadiums, in support of their latest album A Kind of Magic.
In 1987, Mercury was diagnosed with HIV and the band together made the decision to cease touring, making the concert at Knebworth on August 9th the last time the four members of Queen would perform onstage together.
Over the course of the tour Queen played to just short of 1 million people.
From this tour Queen have since released Live at Wembley Stadium on DVD, CD & VHS, Live Magic on CD and Live in Budapest on VHS.
