By Greg Evans, The Independent | Sir Brian May has shared a rare insight into how his father helped map out Queen’s first tour of Europe in 1974. The Queen icon and world-famous guitarist has recently had the history of Queen celebrated at the Polar Music Prize ceremony at Stockholm’s Grand Hotel, Sweden (May 27) where he and his bandmate Roger Taylor received the 2025 Polar Music Prize.
Before the ceremony May reminisced about how his father had once drawn a detailed map of Europe to commemorate the band’s first extensive tour of the continent.
On Instagram, the 77-year-old wrote: “My Dad’s supportive handiwork for our first Queen tour of Europe… 1974!!! As honored in Stockholm last night. Love to all – Bri.”
The illustration features all the dates of the tour, which lasted from 22 November until 14 December 1974, and where each leg of their journey would be stopping.
