Queen in Japan, 1975
In the 1970s, at the height of their success, the band Queen was a symbol of youth rebellion around the world. Not only did they defy gender norms with their clothing choices and long hair. The rock band redefined music with their stylistic choices and Freddy Mercury’s iconic operatic vocals.
The band was extremely successful outside of the United Kingdom and the United States. In 1975, they went on a world tour which began in Canada and ended in Japan, where they performed in seven different cities. That year was one of the best moments of their career; they went on to record Sheer Heart Attack and A Night at The Opera.
