Bohemian Rhapsody , the Queen biopic – starring Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury – premieres in Brazil on November 1st.
The cast members of Bohemian Rhapsody shared how they recreated the legendary Live Aid Show performance.
The film is marked by Queen on July 13, 1985, at Wembley Stadium. The group played a six-song set: "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Radio Gaga," "Hammer to Fall," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "We Will Rock You," and "We Are The Champions."
Gwilym Lee and Joe Mazzello – who play Brian May and John Deacon – spoke about recreating the show: “We had to play it properly (with a backing track), because it would be noticeable if one of us made the movements out of time. It was the first thing we recorded, the Live Aid show,” Lee said in an interview with Digital Spy . Mazello added:
"A lot of it was the timing. The concert footage is so famous that everything they did in real life, we had to repeat. It's all so similar that it's shocking to watch the scene from the film compared to the original."
