Queen’s 1985 Live Aid Performance Was Recreated Entirely For Bohemian Rhapsody

Billboard reports that in an interview with Collider, the cast of Bohemian Rhapsody revealed that Queen’s entire 1985 Live Aid performance was recreated for the film and will be released as an extra on home video. Only three songs made it into the final cut of the biopic, but the actors actually performed the entire set.

Rami Malek, who played Freddie Mercury, said: “There is a version of that whole concert but it’s been cut. We’re going to get to see it soon, then you will too.”

The concert originally happened on July 13, 1985 and was seen by over a billion viewers. The lineup, in addition to Queen, also featured David Bowie, Madonna, U2, Elton John, Paul McCartney and more. Bohemian Rhapsody earned $50 million in North America this past weekend and another $72.5 million internationally.
