No one knows for sure. According to Freddie's partner Jim Hutton, Mercury found out he had AIDS in 1987. That has always been the official word on the subject and I believe that Mary Austin and Peter Freestone have also confirmed this as fact.

However, Freddie very likely acquired HIV at some point in the late 70s or early 80s. So he could have been symptomatic by the time of the Magic Tour. Roger Taylor said that he was under the impression that Freddie felt he might not be in the best of health at that time and that it would be the last Queen tour. So it's very possible. Freddie's former lover Barbara Valentin said that he was showing HIV symptoms in 1985-86, but I haven't heard this confirmed by anyone else close to Freddie.
