Net Proceeds from the sale of this release will be paid to the Mercury Phoenix Trust -Fighting AIDS worldwide.
On April 20th 1992, Roger Taylor, Brian May and John Deacon, the surviving members of Queen, took to the stage at Wembley Stadium for the start of one of the biggest events in rock history, which the band had organised to pay tribute to their former colleague -- the incomparable Freddie Mercury. Queen were joined by some of the greatest musical talent in the world to celebrate Freddie's life and work and to increase public awareness of AIDS, the disease that had prematurely ended his life the previous year. As well as being great entertainment, the concert raised a huge and still growing sum of money for the Mercury Phoenix Trust, a charity formed at the time whose charter is the relief of suffering from AIDS throughout the world. Now for the first time both halves of the concert are being made available on Digital video.
Special guests include David Bowie, Gary Cherone, Roger Daltrey, Def Leppard, Joe Elliot, Extreme, Bob Geldof, Guns 'n' Roses, James Hetfield, Ian Hunter, Tony Iommi, Elton John, Annie Lennox, Metallica, George Michael, Liza Minnelli, Robert Plant, Mick Ronson, Axl Rose, Seal, Slash, Lisa Stansfield, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Young & Zucchero.

Sadly I don't think we'll ever get one because with the exception of a handful of singers they would butcher his songs because he had such a phenomenal voice. Adam Lambert and Rob Lamberti would pretty much have to do the whole tribute concert. That would be okay with me though!

@greg acosta Did you ever hear George Michael tell the story how Michael Jackson disrespected him? He went to Neverland as Michael insisted George go there and they were going to discuss doing a single. He said after Michael made him STAND in the foyer for half an hour then Michael was sitting across from him on couches and Michael would not talk to him directly. He would talk to his manager and tell him to talk to Rob kahane to then talk to George. George said this guy is straight-up crazy, no amount of money is worth being disrespected in this way and I want nothing to do with him. It was either 87 or 88 George sold more records than Michael. I agree with your jealousy assessment. George could easily sing R&B pop and dance music, wrote his own songs and played on them and could dance. Strikingly gorgeous he was....defined as normal. Definitely things Michael Jackson wouldn't like.

You know, a lot of covers in general fail to stand out. Many covers try to be just like the original, and when people do that it almost never works because it doesn’t make the cover special or memorable. And it’s even more difficult for Queen songs because of Freddie’s ridiculously versatile voice. But George Michael came in and sang the song with his own signature voice and style… and the result was BEYOND PERFECT! It feels very memorable and special ❤

George Michael is one of those legendary artists whose music shouldnt be duplicated unless the singer can actually bring it. Unfortunately I cant think of any artist today who can match his talents. Freddie wouldve been proud.
One of the greatest vocal performances of the modern rock era. Especially given the gravity and majesty of the moment, George Michael honored Freddie with an unparalleled performance for the Ages. This, this is what absolute artistic perfection looks and sounds like.

I agree
George Michael was a master of the craft
He knocked it out of the park on this one.
George was literaly the only one to do any of Freddies songs justice... R.I.P you beautiful genius

Gotta disagree with you there. Elton John did wonderfully that night
I’ve loved this performance for years, but I came back to revisit it after seeing the Wham documentary. After seeing how George struggled with his self image and wanted so badly to be a respected artist, I just hope he knew how great this performance was and how much it was appreciated. I miss him to this day. 😢

It makes me even sadder that he was singing out of grief for his partner in the audience who was dying of aids at the time. He described it as if he was singing a prayer :(

É tão difícil viver sem eles. E saber q eles se foram cedo demais. Tinham tanto ainda por fazer. Deixaram um legado maravilhoso.
Every time I listen to this I just think Wow how good is George. Freddie would be so proud….
You can tell at 3.59 Brian May is impressed by George Michael’s performance, Pure class
5 things that made this phenomenal: 1. People weren't watching through their mobile phones. 2. The crowd sing a long "Luuuhhhhhhh-ooooveeee." 3. The energy. 4.. Freddie was there that night. 5. GEORGE FUCKING NAILED IT.

BestThing2 : Yes and in an interview George said about this performance that having seen this big smile from Bryan made him very proud, it was for him a Bryan approval of his performance
You can actually see Brian smile because he knew George nailed it like no one else could.

There's an alternate cut where the audience nails "LOOOOOOOOOVVVEEEE," and Brian gets this ecstatic look on his face like he can't believe they just did that.
Times when people clapping in sync with their both hands 🙌🏽 No phones
George Michael had a ridiculous amount of talent. Nobody else could fill Freddie’s shoes,
Freddie : "You may sing my song, but don't make it sound boring" George : "Hold my wine, brother"

I don't regret many things in my three score of years on this earth . . . but one thing I do regret is that I didn't get the chance to go see George Michael perform live in concert --- every clip I see, that boy was just a superlative 'in-the-moment' live performer! #whydyoudoitdawg
When George finished singing this song, he just walk away out of the stage its like he didn't just gave one of his best live performance in music history. He was a very humble person unlike many other a true legend we will never see someone like him again so sad

While I never liked his music, I always understood how much talent George Michael had as a vocalist and a performer. This illustrates the full spectrum of his unique ability - his incredible voice and range, his charisma, his stage presence, all of it. Nobody could ever REPLACE Freddie Mercury - but this guy was seemingly made to sing with Queen. He owns this uniquely without ever attempting to directly emulate his idol. The aboslute joy and passion he feels oozes out of him in this performance. Just incredible.

One of the best, if not, THE best live performance of one song, ever
I've been a queen fan since 1973 absolutely adored freddies voice and I never thought in my wildest dreams I would say someone sang one of his songs actually better than him , but credit where its due , George Michael was unbelievable on this occasion and took this song to another level, even the reaction from Roger, John and Brian was shock.
One of the greatest vocal performances I have ever seen, capped by incredible stage presence and charisma. Brian May's smile, the ultimate approval!

3:57 the smile of Brian May said it all. He’s an incredible vocalist and grew up singing Freddie’s songs. The result is this performance.
