In 1984, at the height of Apartheid and in breach of the United Nations cultural boycott.

To be fair to a lot of posters here. They probably werenā€™t born yet. I would have been a few months old :grinning:

Pretty sure it easy seen it mentioned on here a few times tho.
I donā€™t like them anyway.

Does there need to be for it to be a morally suspect thing to do?

Itā€™s the closest thing weā€™ve got.

Their was a global consensus about the need for a cultural boycott of South Africa. Anyone who breached it was rightly a pariah. Queen were censured by the Musicianā€™s Union for being one of the few acts to breach the boycott but somehow nine months later they played Live Aid and everyone forgot.

Many people think the same should be the position in relation to Israel, but there is not a global consensus.

most famous artists are disappointing in many ways. Definitely sucks that Queen did that and Brian May seems like a right dickhead, somehow it seems more galling when itā€™s bands like Radiohead who have built their brand on political posturing

For me, weā€™re down to a group of eight acts, none of which I particularly enjoy. If Iā€™m honest, Iā€™m not really considering problematic aspects, but neither am I going to go Team Queen

Of course not, you can take your own view.

Iā€™m just saying that apartheid South Africa was the clearest imaginable moral case ever. There was absolutely no debate anywhere about its pariah status. It was subject to a cultural boycott endorsed by every major global organisation and observed by anyone with a scrap of conscience.
