Today, on May 21st, 1982 - Queen Story!
'Hot Space' released in UK and reached UK No 4
“New styles, and a whole new sense of values. You’ll love Hot Space ...eventually”
- Record Mirror
👉 "My first photo shoot with Queen in Germany they were recording for 'Hot Space' 1982. I was told I might get 10 minutes with them if I’m lucky. The session lasted 3 hours. Roger even got me put my camera down and do some percussion in the recording studio. To this day I like to think I’m some where on that Album
Thanks Roger"

Queens Video “I Want To Break Free”.
Couldn’t resist putting this collection of photos up.
Can’t believe it was 40 years ago when Queen released this track.Written by John D. I had such a laugh on this shoot when they were all trying their wigs on and having their curlers and make up done. Queen were always ground breakers . Long live Queen.

Shot this image at The Power Station in Chiswick where they were shooting there Video Headlong. Not only was covering the video but when they had a break I would get the boys to do a line up. Fred would always say to me “Simon darling how long will this take” I’ll would always reply. I’ll be really quick Fred. No pressure there then. Of course they were always lovely to work with. This a black and white version from their Single Cover Headlong🗣🎼😎�� photography by Simon Fowler

Today - May 22nd, 1989, 'The Miracle" album released in the UK.
This album was originally titled “The Invisible Men”, as a riposte to their critics and because it appeared nearly three years after 'A Kind Of Magic' album (1986)
Reached no 1, on chart for 32 weeks, achieved Platinum status
🔸Queen's thirteenth studio album was recorded at Olympic and Townhouse Studios in London, and Mountain studios in Montreux, between January 1988 and January 1989. It was produced by the band with David Richards, who also engineered the sessions with the help of various assistants. Having spent considerable time with the band on both Queen various solo ventures, Richards was now a permanent fixture on sessions and would remain so through to the final songs Freddie recorded in 1991.
For the very first time on a Queen album, all the songs (and subsequent single B-sides) were credited as written by the band collectively, regardless of the actual author.
The striking cover artwork for the album was based on a concept conceived by Queen and represents the unity of the band; a seamless merging of four people becoming one. This was, after all, during the period when the Queen members were pulling together closely beneath a veil of secrecy in dealing with Freddie's deteriorating illness. Indeed, there was the very real likelihood during these sessions that Freddie would not be around to complete the work. The band closed ranks like never before to focus on the work ahead and in order that nothing deterred them from their course. The four faces morphed into one on the cover, captures this feeling and remains today one of Queen’s most admired and universally recognised images. The startling back cover took the idea a step further, with a seamless regimented montage of just the band's eyes.
Although there were rumors that a tour would be announced following the release of the album, sadly, for reasons that are now obvious, this was not to be. In May 1989 the band recorded a special interview for BBC Radio One in which Freddie explained to Mike Read that it was he who didn't want to tour. “We've been there and done that”, he said, and now the time had come for Queen to break the relentless 'album, tour, album, tour' routine.
Freddie went so far as to say that at his age he didn't feel he should be running around a stage in a leotard any more.
