Previously unseen photos of the legendary rock band Queen are to tour the UK in November.
Taken by renowned rock photographer Denis O’Regan, more than half of the collection of over sixty images have not previously been published.
The exhibition of photographs will visit Harrogate, Bolton, Chesterfield and Milton Keynes in special one night events.

O’Regan said: “Selecting the shots has been an evocative experience. It was a special time for me, and I’m reminded of the trust that Freddie, Brian, Roger and John placed in me.
“All these years later, they remain one of the most famous and charismatic bands in history”.
Music photographer O’Regan was David Bowie’s official photographer during the 1980s but he has also captured Spandau Ballet, Pink Floyd, Duran Duran, Thin Lizzy and the Rolling Stones on camera.
