While researching my book on 1986’s Highlander I discovered that filming of the final Silvercup fight took place during Live Aid. The concert boosted Queen’s popularity even further and a few months later they got the Highlander soundtrack gig.

Let us know if you were one of the lucky people to experience Live Aid in 1985! 👇 #Queen #LiveAid40

In @kindofmagicbook I discussed the various lost/deleted Highlander scenes that only exist as photos... but what if AI could recreate them? Highlander Heart has had a go at doing just that in this new video... youtube.com/watch?v=QXIqXB…
