It’s been 34 years since Freddie Mercury died, but the Queen singer left an incredible rock music legacy behind.
Undoubtedly, his most famous track is Bohemian Rhapsody, which is the most streamed song of the 20th century and one of the best-selling of all time.
Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Sir Brian May has posted a new video paying tribute to Freddie’s lyrical skills.
The new Instagram footage captures the Queen guitarist winding a Queen music box playing Bohemian Rhapsody as Sir Brian exclaims: “This is a gem! Perfect!”
The clip plays the segment where Freddie would sing: “Didn’t mean to make you cry if i’m not back again this time tomorrow carry on, carry on.”
Captioning the post with much glee, Sir Brian wrote: “What a difference a semitone makes !!! This makes me giggle every time. Maybe Freddie should have written his melody line this way in the first place ! ha ha ! Fabulous ! Bri.”
No doubt Queen have some big celebration for Bohemian Rhapsody’s 50th anniversary later this year.
