April, Japan 1979 - Freddie Mercury with Mr. Itami, his bodyguard in japan, during 'Live Killers' tour ('Jazz' tour)

🔸"At the time 'Queen II' was the LP of the year, and the hysteria started the moment we got there; riots at the airport, bodyguards, just like the old Beatle days. The organization was spellbinding, and we loved every minute of it. We needed protection because you couldn’t go down into the lobby of the hotel s it was infested with really nice people waiting for autographs. We each had a personal bodyguard and mine was called Itami. He was the head of the Tokyo bodyguard patrol, and his entire job was to pamper and cosset me throughout the tour and make sure no harm came to my person. He was very sweet and gave me a lovely Japanese lantern, which I treasure"

- Freddie Mercury

'Freddie Mercury: His Life in His Own Words' book - by Greg Brooks/ Simon Lupton

👉 The European shows of this tour were recorded and 'Live Killers" was later released, June 26, 1979.

it's a bizarre mixture of several of the different concerts and nobody knows which ones
