    Net Proceeds from the sale of this release will be paid to the Mercury Phoenix Trust -Fighting AIDS worldwide.
    On April 20th 1992, Roger Taylor, Brian May and John Deacon, the surviving members of Queen, took to the stage at Wembley Stadium for the start of one of the biggest events in rock history, which the band had organised to pay tribute to their former colleague -- the incomparable Freddie Mercury. Queen were joined by some of the greatest musical talent in the world to celebrate Freddie's life and work and to increase public awareness of AIDS, the disease that had prematurely ended his life the previous year. As well as being great entertainment, the concert raised a huge and still growing sum of money for the Mercury Phoenix Trust, a charity formed at the time whose charter is the relief of suffering from AIDS throughout the world. Now for the first time both halves of the concert are being made available on Digital video.
    Special guests include David Bowie, Gary Cherone, Roger Daltrey, Def Leppard, Joe Elliot, Extreme, Bob Geldof, Guns 'n' Roses, James Hetfield, Ian Hunter, Tony Iommi, Elton John, Annie Lennox, Metallica, George Michael, Liza Minnelli, Robert Plant, Mick Ronson, Axl Rose, Seal, Slash, Lisa Stansfield, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Young & Zucchero.

      Sadly I don't think we'll ever get one because with the exception of a handful of singers they would butcher his songs because he had such a phenomenal voice. Adam Lambert and Rob Lamberti would pretty much have to do the whole tribute concert. That would be okay with me though!

      @greg acosta Did you ever hear George Michael tell the story how Michael Jackson disrespected him? He went to Neverland as Michael insisted George go there and they were going to discuss doing a single. He said after Michael made him STAND in the foyer for half an hour then Michael was sitting across from him on couches and Michael would not talk to him directly. He would talk to his manager and tell him to talk to Rob kahane to then talk to George. George said this guy is straight-up crazy, no amount of money is worth being disrespected in this way and I want nothing to do with him. It was either 87 or 88 George sold more records than Michael. I agree with your jealousy assessment. George could easily sing R&B pop and dance music, wrote his own songs and played on them and could dance. Strikingly gorgeous he was....defined as normal. Definitely things Michael Jackson wouldn't like.

      You know, a lot of covers in general fail to stand out. Many covers try to be just like the original, and when people do that it almost never works because it doesn’t make the cover special or memorable. And it’s even more difficult for Queen songs because of Freddie’s ridiculously versatile voice.
      But George Michael came in and sang the song with his own signature voice and style… and the result was BEYOND PERFECT! It feels very memorable and special ❤

      It makes me even sadder that he was singing out of grief for his partner in the audience who was dying of aids at the time. He described it as if he was singing a prayer :(

      É tão difícil viver sem eles. E saber q eles se foram cedo demais. Tinham tanto ainda por fazer. Deixaram um legado maravilhoso.

    Nobody talks about Rogers reaction starting at 3:45 when George starts to hit that very high note.... you can see it took his breath away so to speak.... and why not because it's downright amazing just like the rest of the performance.❤❤❤

      Jordan Smith He nailed it ! I'm fussy about covers but George did this one and a song called 'Going to a town' magnificently. Find it on RUclips if you haven't heard it.

    One of the greatest vocal performances of the modern rock era. Especially given the gravity and majesty of the moment, George Michael honored Freddie with an unparalleled performance for the Ages. This, this is what absolute artistic perfection looks and sounds like.
