Vintage Photos of Freddie Mercury Sitting on Darth Vader's Shoulders in the Shows, circa 1980

Late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury was known for his commanding live performances. But he became internet-iconic thanks in part to a stunt he pulled during shows in late 1979 and into 1980: emerging during the encore perched on the shoulders of someone dressed as Darth Vader.

Most of these photos below date from 1980 when Queen went on tour to promote their new album The Game.
