I went to Tony's concert last month and had a chance to chat with him after the show. Super friendly guy! In the concert, he sang Somebody to Love and mentioned a funny story about he and Freddie both got super wasted before the opening of Queen concert in New Zealand.
Interestingly enough, today I was watching Queen: Days of Our Lives DVD again and noticed Roger Taylor also mentioned this little incident in the Bonus Interviews.

Fantastic photo - thanks for sharing !
Could you please post the original Gettyimages link? I'd like to link to it from my website.
Peter Hince also touched upon it in his book, saying it was the only time he was disappointed with Freddie's professionalism.

Watched the DVD again. Funny to see how Roger described Freddie and Tony as "assholed" in the New Zealand concert.

Literally the funniest thing on the entire DVD.
And thanks for the Getty link. A bit of fancy right clicking, and presto:

And wow, that was excellent.
The impatient can just skip to 4:35 - it's worth it.
His voice is fantastic as ever, I see.
They also played some tennis in Ibiza around 1988 I believe TH told Freddie he should use some make up to cover up the signs of Kaposi's sarcoma
