Brian May makes surprise appearance at Queen screening as he remembers the legendary Freddie Mercury: 'This is probably the most precious intimate capture ever of Freddie'


The Queen legend surprised fans as he attended the UK preview of live concert film Queen Rock Montreal from 1981 at the BFI IMAX in Southbank on Monday evening.

Ahead of its global release in IMAX from January 18-21, the guitarist spoke at an exclusive preview screening as he reminisced on the shows in Montreal and remembered the late Freddie Mercury, who died of AIDS in 1991. Brian also played part of Bohemian Rhapsody on a grand piano which featured the very same microphone that Freddie used during the legendary performance in Montreal, and in typical rock star fashion was decorated with beers. With the help of executive producers Geoff Kempin and Alice Webb for Mercury Studios and Jim and Matilda Beach for Queen Films fans will be given a larger-than-life, front-row immersive experience into the foursome at their very best.
