CAN YOU HELP? We're looking for photographs of Queen in a cocaine situation.
As you probably know by now, we're finally working on a decent product focussing on Queen on cocaine through the years.
We would like to find images of the band in any kind of Cocaine related setting. It could be Queen at a Meth Lap station, or any band member photographed with a familiar dope pusher - basically anything to do with the general subject of Queen and Drugs anywhere in the world, 1971 - 1995.
We want to ensure we're aware of everything out there and that we include all the best and most interesting images. If you have or know of any such photo, please drop me a message or let me know here.
Many thanks

I only have a photograph of Freddie in 1992 in Munich, he signed there some Queen ROCKS Vinyls..
I believe I have one of those. WITH the COA.. it cost a hefty buck on eBay but it was well worth It!
Probably from the same session. Fred looks fantastic there! He's aged really well!
Roger. ..... not so much :-/
I'm a bit upset that mine wasn't signed by Brian Deacon, oh but what can you do!
In the event that anyone's taking this thread even remotely seriously, this photo is the closest thing I've seen to one of the boys being wasted.
Otherwise - this thread seriously has potential.

With one eye nearly closed and the other almost open? I don't know how you normally blink, but that's not how most people do it. Eyelids tend to be pretty well synched.

Queen and cocaine, now THAT'S a conversation piece.
Yup. A piece of their history they'd rather forget, but it's there.
An anonymous roadie said it hit a point where the show wouldn't go on until the coke showed up.
But I guess the drug stuff isn't so synonymous with Queen as it is with Aerosmith and Zeppelin because it never hampered their performances.

Is that Lori Maddox? Ex of Jimmy Page-style groupieness and general whore-like morality?

I know right? They just didn't look or sound like they got the ol' White Queen (get it?) up their noses.
@Musicland Munich: Please tell me you'll name this project of yours White Queen.

No, that's Steven Tyler, singer with obscure American band, Aerosmith.

Yep, such a name was on the LINE...but we have to be a bit dodgy because of copyright reasons.
Anyway I think AMAZON Columbia is highly interested in that Box.
