Five new additions

The Official Queen Store has added five items to its A Kind of Magic collection: an embroidered black jumper, playing cards, a woven blanket, an album puzzle and a vintage-style 1986 Tour T-shirt. They join the range’s existing Magic Era shirts, cap, keyring and Hawaiian shirt. All five are listed on the store’s collection page.

QueenOnline says the new products take inspiration from the 1986 album and the Magic Tour.

The Magic Tour in 1986

Queen’s live archive counts 26 shows in 20 locations over eight weeks. It records Knebworth Park on 9 August as the tour’s final date and the band’s last concert with Freddie Mercury. The new T-shirt’s “1986 Tour” design points to this live era.

An album shaped by Highlander

Released on 2 June 1986, A Kind of Magic reached number one in the UK. Queen’s official history traces the album to songs commissioned for Highlander; the record grew beyond a film soundtrack, combining film-linked music with songs by the band. That crossover connects the album and tour designs in the new collection.
