The photographic exhibition, comprising 66 historic photos, is on display at Auckland City Library until November 4.
The exhibition, which tours the world with the stage show We Will Rock You, offers a rare and intimate insight into the band and their many varied phases.
Former Rockstar INXS finalist and star of We Will Rock You, Mig Ayesa, caught up with nzherald.co.nz to talk about the exhibition and channeling Freddie Mercury.
* Queen - Life in Pictures is on display on level 1 and 2 of Auckland City Library on Lorne St, until Sunday, November 4.
