Six months after his death in 1992, musicians from around the world gathered for a Wembley Stadium tribute to inimitable Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. Roger Taylor, John Deacon and Brian May, the three surviving members of the group, are joined onstage by legends including David Bowie, Roger Daltrey, Liza Minnelli, Robert Plant, Seal, Slash and George Michael.

For Queen fans, there are a handful of landmark renditions, including a rare live collaboration with Bowie and Annie Lennox for Under Pressure. George Michael sings Somebody To Love, Seal sings Who Wants To Live Forever, while the unlikely pairing of Elton John and Axl Rose brings the house down with Bohemian Rhapsody.

Following the concert will be a documentary featuring rehearsal footage, shot behind the scenes at Wembley, including drummer Taylor talking about Freddie, clips of the man himself and the Queen band members discussing the thinking behind the musical collaborations.
