I think he was ignorant, like a lot of critics. As Queen did insist on no segregation.
The Fairy King
Yes, but mostly for the terrible drivel he made for years with the other guy. xD

Bottom line, Queen played to more black South Africans than he did. Not saying a boycott never achieved anything, but that particular one was a lot of hooey. And the hit single was an embarrassment - "I'm not gonna play Sun City!"
What an absolute bunch of assholes haha

To be quite honest Hall and Oates had much better hits than Queen in the early 80's Their 1984 Big Bam Boom-LP was waaaay better than The Works. And Hall was one hell of a soul singer.
The Sun City song was crappy, but he did turn down 2 million dollars to play there. It showed he had some balls and not everything was/is about money.

Yeah, and I'm sure the president of South Africa (and former member of the pro-nazi terrorist group Ossewabrandwag) Botha was very impressed and totally respected that position and did not use Queen as free propaganda at all...
Geez, you're naive!

Proof of even a single black South African attending, please?
The Queen guys prostituted themselves with Sun City. They were cheap propaganda for South Africa and well-paid for it. The "we were not political" and "we played for everyone who wanted to listen" is Brian-bullshit to assuage his conscience after the fact. Sun City was not formally segregated - they just made sure no black person could afford a ticket, and if any could, they would be informally dissuaded from going there.
