‘Machines (Or Back To Humans)’ from The Works album hasn’t been performed by Queen since 1984.

A few songs from a few tours back are back in the show. ‘Now I’m Here’ was last played in 2014, ‘Keep Yourself Alive’ was performed with Lambert in Tel Aviv in 2016 and three times in London and three times in Russia in 2012. ‘In The Lap Of The Gods’ was in the 2014.14 shows. ‘Dragon Attack’ also returns.

Since the early 1990s, Deacon has shunned the spotlight, retiring quietly after Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991. But now, years later, he has quietly resurfaced, lending his signature alongside bandmates Roger Taylor and Brian May on a charity auction item, signalling, perhaps, that even the most private of souls can still make their mark in unexpected ways.
