The band’s genre-defying sound won a legion of fans worldwide, with their global fame driven by hits such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody to Love, and Crazy Little Thing Called. By 1986, Queen was arguably the biggest band on the planet, and set off on what would be one of the greatest tours ever – the Magic Tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eComprising 26 shows across Europe in just two months, the Magic Tour was a phenomenal success. Highlighted by consecutive shows at Wembley before a total of 144,000 people, a show in Budapest before 80,000 with an estimated 45,000 listening from outside, and the final concert at Knebworth Park in front of a crowd of approximately 120,000, the tour took Queen from hugely successful rock act to immortal gods of rock’n’roll history. As it turned out to be the band’s last tour with the original line-up, the Magic Tour is imbued with an almost mythical aura.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHonouring this extraordinary tour, and the extraordinary impact Queen had on the music world, this official tribute is headlined by a full-colour coin from the Perth Mint.
