CAN YOU HELP? We're looking for photographs of Queen in a cocaine situation.
As you probably know by now, we're finally working on a decent product focussing on Queen on cocaine through the years.
We would like to find images of the band in any kind of Cocaine related setting. It could be Queen at a Meth Lap station, or any band member photographed with a familiar dope pusher - basically anything to do with the general subject of Queen and Drugs anywhere in the world, 1971 - 1995.
We want to ensure we're aware of everything out there and that we include all the best and most interesting images. If you have or know of any such photo, please drop me a message or let me know here.
Many thanks

I believe I have one of those. WITH the COA.. it cost a hefty buck on eBay but it was well worth It!
Probably from the same session. Fred looks fantastic there! He's aged really well!
Roger. ..... not so much :-/
I'm a bit upset that mine wasn't signed by Brian Deacon, oh but what can you do!

In the event that anyone's taking this thread even remotely seriously, this photo is the closest thing I've seen to one of the boys being wasted.
Otherwise - this thread seriously has potential.

That's just a 'mid blink' photo, the ones the newspapers love so they can say the subject is wasted when they really aren't

I don't know how you normally blink, but that's not how most people do it. Eyelids tend to be pretty well synched.

A picture of Freddie with Maradona is the best I can think of.

Yup. A piece of their history they'd rather forget, but it's there.
An anonymous roadie said it hit a point where the show wouldn't go on until the coke showed up.
But I guess the drug stuff isn't so synonymous with Queen as it is with Aerosmith and Zeppelin because it never hampered their performances.
