At the end of the year, they started working on their new album, "A Kind Of Magic". But the band got back together again, after their famous performance at Live Aid, in 1985. The album was loved by the fans, but didn't do to well. He and the band had been in a bit of an argument, and he wanted to do something on his own. In 1985 Freddie made his first big solo-album, "Mr. It contained great hits, such as "Radio Ga Ga" and "I Want To Break Free".
