Freddie Mercury dies

The death of a band member is a biographical event, not a shorthand for every later recording decision. The chronology preserves the date independently of the album sequence. Read the late records alongside Mercury’s profile to distinguish the human history from the dates on which particular releases reached listeners.

This event is part of the essential chronology, not an exhaustive concert or tour archive. The date retains the precision established by its source. Follow the neighbouring studio albums to place it in the recording history, and consult the official account below for its wider setting.
