The News of the World Tour was a concert tour by the British rock band Queen, and supported their successful 1977 album News of the World.
This tour was the first to use the songs We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions and Love Of My Life, three of the famous anthems that helped make Queen well-known for their concerts.
One of the shows on the North American leg at The Houston Summit was filmed and is widely traded among fans. Also, that show saw the band not play "Spread Your Wings" and was the lone show where Brian May did his guitar solo spot in normal tuning as the solo would segue into "Now I'm Here" instead of "The Prophet's Song (Reprise)".
