Biopic.
Charts the rise to fame of one of the greatest rock bands ever.
Touches on Freddie Mercury’s (his stage name) background, then how he met the band and became their front man, the development of their unique sound, their meteoric rise to fame, and the key moments leading to Band Aid.
Briefly (probably too briefly) touches on Freddie’s AIDS condition.
The film starts at the same moment as it ends with Freddie arriving on (Live Aid) stage, the last 15 minutes is their whole Live Aid performance.
Before the film my wife said to me … “I’m not a fan, I didn’t like their music, and I’m not looking forward to this” After the film my wife said to me … “I really enjoyed that, think I’m a fan”
So … this film is good, whether you think you’re a fan or not.

Who is Mary Austin? Meet the woman Freddie Mercury asked to marry
Mary Austin may have been quite different from the flamboyant frontman of Queen, but she was one of the most important people in his life.
The softly spoken working-class girl was brought up by her deaf parents, and remained by Freddie’s side until his death in 1991.
