Queen + Paul Rodgers Tour
(2005-06)

The Magic Tour was the biggest and final ever tour by the English rock band Queen with their lead singer Freddie Mercury and their bassist John Deacon. which took place in 1986.^[1]^[2] The band would not tour again until 19 years later, when the Queen + Paul Rodgers Tour began in 2005, after the death of Freddie Mercury on 24 November 1991, and the retirement of John Deacon in 1997.^[2]^[3] The Magic 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 AIDS and the band together made the decision to stop touring, making the concert at Knebworth on 9 August 1986 the last time ever the four members of Queen performed on stage together.^[4]

Over a million people attended the Queen tour, making it one of the largest ever. Support bands included The Alarm, Big Country, INXS, Level 42, Marillion, Gary Moore, The Bangles and Status Quo.^[5]

From this tour, Queen have since released Live at Wembley '86 on VHS, CD & DVD, Live Magic on CD and Live in Budapest on VHS & Laserdisc (later re-released and retitled as Hungarian Rhapsody: Queen Live in Budapest ’86 on DVD, Blu-ray and Deluxe editions).
