Rare Photographs of a Lucky Italian Fan Posing With Queen in Zurich, Switzerland in February 1979

Queen played at Hallenstadion in Zurich, Switzerland on February 4, 1979. Italian fan Manuela Scarpel was 17 years old at the time and was attending university in Zurich. She decided to participate in a competition and so she won a Queen gold record.

For the award ceremony there was a big party and the whole of Manuela’s family was invited, of course they also participated in the concert that was held that day.

Manuela’s father Tommaso shared his daughter’s experience on the blog: Passato e Presente. Today this lucky fan still jealously keeps that golden disc!
