QUEEN, Stage tambourine used by Freddie Mercury – Jazz Tour, Lyon

New Era tambourine used by Freddie Mercury during Queen’s concert at the Palais des Sports in Lyon on 17 February 1979, as part of the Jazz Tour. During this tour, Mercury regularly played the tambourine on stage before throwing it into the audience, a gesture that became a hallmark of his performances. According to its owner, this particular tambourine was thrown by Freddie Mercury into the pit after he had finished playing it and was picked up directly by a member of the audience at the concert. The Lyon concert took place during a particularly significant period in Queen’s live history. The band had just released *Jazz*, which included tracks such as ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’, ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’ and ‘Bicycle Race’. The set list for 17 February combined these new tracks with ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, ‘Somebody to Love’, ‘We Will Rock You’ and ‘We Are the Champions’. 28 × 25 × 7.5 cm. Wood, metal and a handle wrapped in black adhesive tape. A green label bearing the words ‘New Era’ is affixed to one side of the tambourine.
