On April 20, 1992, Roger Taylor, Brian May, and John Deacon – the surviving members of Queen – took the stage of London's legendary Wembley Stadium to announce the start of one of the biggest events in rock history: a tribute to the incomparable Freddie Mercury with a glittering array of guests, including Elton John, Robert Plant, Annie Lennox, Liza Minnelli, David Bowie, George Michael and many more. FREDDIE MERCURY – THE TRIBUTE CONCERT captures this historic event, which aimed to celebrate the singer’s life and work and increase public awareness of AIDS – the disease that prematurely ended his life. Songs include “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Will Rock You,” and “We Are the Champions.”
