Freddie Mercury & Roger Taylor. Which award show?

Just received this recently from my friend in the UK. Sent to the frame shop to be properly framed and matted this morning.

That's certainly the suit Freddie wore forthat occasion, but I want to say Roger was wearing a purple shirt during the 1990 brit award, and in 1990 when they accepted the honor, Freddie looked a lot thinner and more ill. I wonder ifthey accepted another award on 1989? Or 88? Because he looks a but more plump here, as he did in 88. By the miracle filming he had already lost the weight in his face. He looks a bit more healthy- Barcelona time. I know he had that suit from at least 1986. Or perhaps it just an optical illusion? But in all the pics of him during the 90 award, he was caked in heavy makeup, and had no weight to him at all

Also, I realize that he may have just taken it off for the pic here, but during the 90 award he had a white and black or blue striped tie and a white scarf around his shoulders. I'm really wondering if they attended another award ceremony around 88?

Either way, you know how much I envy this piece. Good item, Robert!

Sorry, I meant to say in The 90 award Roger had a white shirt on not purple. Wish it would've just let me edit the comment

Mm....the more I look you could be right.....I got this sig from my friend in Swindon, and he sent me the photo because it matched the paper......I remember from Rattys book, the last time he saw Fred was following the Brit awards at a party and included some photos......I sent this pic to Ratty and he said spot on, that was the last time I saw Fred, but the scarf is off.....when my friend is back from holiday, I will ask him.....no deception intended, I just remember the blue suit from the pic in Rattys book, plus memories from the vids of the boys accepting the awards

Mm...yes, just looked at stills from the awards and Rog does have a white shirt on! Now I must hunt to correctly identify the correct awards!

I do like the paper color and the signing in gold......I'm just a novice but I have rarely seed Fred sigs in anything but black or blue pen/marker.......MM, do you find the same?

Thats true. Theres no doubt that this is real, and absolutely beautiful. A very stunning piece, Robert.

And as I mentioned on my last email, I have no doubt that your friend is a legit queen head and has amazing legit items. This is real. But it isn't from 90. Just a year or 2 off that year, is all. I'd love to see your friends full collection. It'll make me drool, I'm sure!
