The photo is boldly signed by Freddie in vibrant silver marker. Accompanying the photo is Mercury's actual red terrycloth wristband worn during the band's 1981 Japanese tour, directly from Jacky Smith’s personal collection, the esteemed head of the Official International Queen Fan Club since the 1980s.
Additional Information: Queen's 1981 performance at the Budokan was part of their successful worldwide tour promoting their album "The Game." This era marked the band's rising global fame, especially in Japan, where fans eagerly received their live performances.
Provenance/Authenticity: Includes a Roger Epperson (REAL) Letter of Authenticity and a James Spence Authentication (JSA) Letter of Authenticity and a letter of provenance.
Condition: Both items are in very good condition and have been well-preserved over the decades.
