Queen is going to make our week end on a high note !
The legendary group announced that this Friday (15), at 3 pm (Brasilia time), it will broadcast the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert , which was held the year after the artist's death, in 1992. As could not be different in times of pandemic, the broadcast aims to raise funds to fight COVID-19.

The guests include Metallica , Guns N' Roses , David Bowie , Def Leppard , Elton John , Tony Iommi ( Black Sabbath ), Robert Plant ( Led Zeppelin ), Roger Daltrey ( The Who ), and George Michael . A lineup , right? Nothing special!
