This year marks three big Freddie Mercury anniversaries. Not only has it been 30 years since the Queen singer died, but 2021 is also when the star would have turned 75. While on top of these, it’s been 50 years since Queen formed their final line-up and their legacy continues to be stronger than ever.
As part of the celebrations of their achievements, and in memory of Freddie, a weekly official mini-documentary series has been released on YouTube.
Now on Episode 27 of 50, Queen The Greatest this week looks back at the singer’s iconic Ay-Ohs from 1985’s Live Aid and other concerts.
As for why Freddie did this, he admitted in one interview it was essential for him to get the audience on side. Otherwise, the star felt that Queen had not had a decent concert.
In an archive video, he said: “That’s the part of my role, I have to win them over, otherwise it’s not a successful gig.”
