A NIGHT AT THE OPERA

In early 1976, Mercury received another "Ivor Novello", now for "Bohemian Rhapsody". At the same time the group went on its 3rd tour in America, which lasted nearly three months. Immediately after this tour, they flew to Japan, where they also had an overwhelmingly enthusiastic reception. At this time all four of Queen’s albums were in the British Top Twenty best albums ,which was absolutely unprecedented. The Group made an extensive tour of Japan, and then went to Australia. Their tour "Down Under" in this country began with a presentation of "Entertainment Centre" in the city of Perth.

In early 1975 Queen made their first headlining tour across the United States of America. Tickets sold like hot cakes. Due to the huge demand they even had to add additional concerts to the tour schedule. Sometimes the group gave 2 concerts a day, and in each of them the tickets were completely sold out. Nevertheless, several concerts were canceled, as Freddie had problems with his throat, but he still rallied: he played as many concerts as he could, despite the doctors’ objections.
