Queen Uncovered is packed with images and ephemera from this truly unique collection, covering life on the road and in the studio, backstage and on-stage, relaxing at parties, filming iconic music videos and much more besides.

50th anniversary of Queen’s first major tour 

Rare Queen Live Aid rehearsals and interview footage shared by Brian May, Freddie Mercury's raw and "lost" performance from the Queen Live Aid rehearsals has been shared on social media.

It was 38 years ago this week that Queen performed their Live Aid set, which is widely considered one of the greatest live music moments ever, according to the Express.

Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon stole the show with Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Ga Ga, Hammer to Fall, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions.

And now as the anniversary arrives tomorrow, Sir Brian has posted on his Instagram something really special.

The 75-year-old legend shared rare rehearsal footage for what would be Queen’s most iconic live performance.

Fans can see Freddie and the gang below, playing the tracks from the set alongside giving interviews in the 10-minute clip.

Here you see us rehearsing for the Queen Live Aid appearance - and talking about how we think it’s gonna be. And the rehearsal footage, captured raw, shows us in a completely different, relaxed state of mind, from the hypervibed way we will be on that extraordinary night in 1985. All sorts of adventurous variations in how we’re playing - which now seem like a precious capture by the BBC - a whole different ‘lost’ performance.
