Freddie's armband?

Why Freddie wore Dutch flag-patterned armband in 1986? (I mean most with the Magic Tour)

I'm not aware of what the Dutch flag colors are, but on Live at Wembley the wrist band he's wearing is red, white and blue, in the pattern of the French flag.

Do you have any pictures of the arm band you're talking about??

I think he is talking about this one

(those he wore on magic tour)

Flags??! Nonsense.
Guess those wristbands have just been the fashion of the day in the 80s. I still have a similar one.

First one, I don't think thats magic tour.

Second one, thats the one I was thinking of, I wasn't sure if we were on the same wave length

Freddie looked to be a pretty sweaty guy. I'm guessing those were for practical purposes.

I didn't realise the Dutch flag's colours were so unique, not featuring on ANY other country in the world.....

Does anyone object if I call this person an idiot?

Ah, okey, I was a bit mistaken. Queen fan brought Dutch flag when they came to watch the Magic tour (Wembley). and Freddie wore French flag-patterned wristband. But WHY?

WHY?

Why not? He was Freddie Mercury, he could wear whatever he wanted. He changed his look so many times, I didn't think it was that big of a deal.

French and Dutch flags have exactly the same colours... *rolls eyes* But the French flag is vertical, the Dutch flag is horizontal...

Denial: Everything I see on the Wembley DVD are some Dutch flags and Freddie wearing dutch-flag armband... He intended to tour on The Netherlands in the following year?

"Following year"? They played in The Netherlands in 1986, during the Magic Tour...

11.06.1986 - Groenoordhallen - Leiden - Holland
12.06.1986 - Groenoordhallen - Leiden - Holland

Here's a video from one of the Holland gigs in 86: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LNVTHHsn1h0
