现在是伦敦时间正午12点
费城时间早上7点
全世界瞩目的拯救生命演唱会现在开启
温布利球场迎来了尊贵的
威尔士亲王与王妃
大卫 看这里
喂 你掉了一件行李 巴基仔
我不是从巴基斯坦来的
你是我的 我拥有你 永远爱你
神父 我有罪 在怒火中冲你大喊 骗子 你欺骗了我 请原谅我
晚饭好了
我不饿 妈
你要去哪
-跟朋友一起出去 -女孩子吗
-妈 -看看你
快给妈妈一个吻
我要迟到了
你总是迟到
爸 工作怎么样
又出门吗 法鲁克
我现在叫弗雷迪了 爸
弗雷迪 法鲁克
光改名字有什么用 你还不是每晚出门
脑子里对未来没半点规划
睿智 善语 良行
这些才是你应立志追求的
是的
那你追求这些的结果又如何呢
一切顺利
明天此时我会身在何处
沉浸在喜悦中亦或是悲伤中
他们比上周的好
-这个乐队很酷 -确实不错
一切顺利
喝点什么
大杯拉格
-谢谢你 -谢谢
本应等太阳升起
可我却需要躲藏
回见 伙计
烟枪屋乐队
他们有很多巡演 他们会火的
烟枪屋乐队 你在开玩笑吗
别这样 蒂姆
我很抱歉 伙计们 但…
我们这样下去没有出路
就这些吗 在大学 酒吧演出
总得放手一搏
所以我就跟他说不 你不能这样做
你真的什么都听不到
有点儿傻
然后所有人就都穿起了长裙
多奇怪啊
你还好吗
抱歉 我在找乐队
他们通常都在后面
我喜欢你的外套
是碧芭的
她在那儿工作
多谢你啊
我觉得他说的没错
刚那演出确实是一堆屎
确实有可以改进的地方
周六晚上我本有更好的事可干
我可以告诉你她们的名字
演出很不错
-谢谢 伙计 -谢谢你
其实我看你们的演出看了一阵子了
微笑乐队
牙科学生起这个名字确实合适
你是学天体物理学的 对吗
-是的 -所以你是聪明的那个
是啊 我想是的
我在这儿学设计
-是吗 -是的
而且 我还写歌
也许你们会感兴趣
其实只是个爱好
你晚来了五分钟
我们的主唱刚不干了
那你们需要一个新人
有推荐吗
我怎么样
你这牙可不行 伙计
我知道自己在做什么
我有种感觉
我会一切顺利
一切顺利
我天生多长四颗门牙
口腔空间大就意味着更高的音域
我会考虑你们的邀请的
你会弹贝斯吗
不会
抱歉 谢谢
你找到我了
需要帮忙吗
我挺喜欢这条的
有我的尺码吗
这是女装区 所以我不太确定
这里也没个标志之类的
我觉得这其实不重要 不是吗
我觉得你可能会喜欢这个
你真的可以进来的吗
其实不可以
还有一步
可以吗
你长得很有异域风情
我喜欢你的风格
我觉得我们都应该多去冒险
你觉得怎么样
谢谢 谢谢你
大家好
我们乐队加入了几张新面孔
这是约翰·迪肯 贝斯手
还有我们的新主唱
弗雷迪 博…博萨拉
弗雷迪·博萨拉
就是我
当然还有罗杰 最重要的成员
罗杰
你们好啊 美丽的人儿
蒂姆去哪了
这个巴基仔是谁啊
准备好了吗 费雷迪
我们开始吧
活出精彩
人生路上的艰辛
已被说过无数次
记得要多涨智慧
每天都要变更好
但若我跨过无数条河流
走过数百万里路
不对
歌词错了
在购物街
卖出百万面镜子
却从未见我容颜
出现在任何橱窗
现在家人朋友都这么说
做个超级明星
但我要告诉你 要满足
就保持你现在的样子
活出精彩
所有人 活出精彩
记记歌词 弗雷迪
你们迟到了
这太扯了
应该是逆时针 我觉得你能做到 约翰
是吗 谢谢你 布莱恩
你想来试试吗 别客气
不不 你做得很好
格拉斯哥南边每个酒吧和大学的演出都卖空了
可我却困在这鸟不拉屎的地方
吃一个火腿三明治
问题是 我们的目标还不够远大
你有什么想法 弗雷
专辑
我们录不起专辑
我们会找到办法的
你们觉得这辆车能卖多少钱
我希望你是在开玩笑
这可相当于三个月的薪水
还有一辆超好的车
别太大惊小怪了 亲爱的
你今晚可是要录专辑了 我们走
你们不觉得我听起来很糟糕吗
不 还不错
-我们能再来一次吗 -当然
当然 反正烧的是你们的钱
还真是
你是我的 我拥有你
我永远属于你
听起来好多了
我们得多来点实验性的东西
试试让啊啊啊在左右声道跳跃
你是我的 我拥有你
我永远属于你
最后一个放在正中间
最后再调高
太棒了
很棒 对吗
我们还有时间再采一些样吗
录音棚八点开门 所以我们还有三十分钟
-这听起来不错 对吗 -是啊
RT 在录音间的这些小子们是谁
一支学生乐队搞些奇奇怪怪的东西
样带呢 你有吗
熬了一晚上呢 伙计
新名字是皇后乐队吗
就是女王陛下
而且这名字让人很震惊
我想不出比我更令人震惊的了
这是最不实用的床了
很好听
这曲调能写成歌
-我得去上班 -我不同意
如果我被辞退 你要养我吗
我会一直照顾你的
我要…
我要迟到了
你真美
我小的时候
总是在房子里乱跑藏起来
他找不到我
聪明的姑娘
请告诉你父亲我很高兴能见到他
我说了
那谢谢他带来可爱的生日蛋糕
我说了
那跟他说他女儿床上功夫了得
弗雷迪 他会读唇语
玛丽
我等了很久才等到法鲁克
带回家一个像你一样的好姑娘
法鲁克
法鲁克没跟你说他是在桑给巴尔出生的吗
他没说过
-我以前认识一个桑给巴尔的姑娘 -等等
我以为弗雷迪是在伦敦出生的
-他是的 十八岁生的 -闭嘴
我们家是印度帕西人
-妈 妈 妈 -玛丽
-妈 -妈 拜托
来 看看这个
-太好了 -拜托 拜托
-快停下 -我们得看看
一千年前
帕西人从波斯逃到印度
躲避穆斯林的迫害
真的吗 那太糟了
那你们为什么离开桑给巴尔
我们不是离开
他好小
我们什么都没有带 就被赶走了
其实他是个不错的拳手
他必须是
他的对手总是冲着他的牙去
总是想把他的牙打进去
绝对是个目标
这张照片里他多大
我想差不多三四岁
是吗 那个年纪就打拳击了
真好
默丘里
再也不回头
只前进
现在连家族姓氏都配不上你了吗
只是个艺名
不 不是
我已经正式更名了
换了新的护照之类的
卡什 这时你多大
我不知道
这是在弗雷迪去寄宿学校之前
我把法鲁克送走
是想让他成为一名优秀的帕西男孩
他太疯太任性
但又有什么用
睿智 善语 良行
假装自己是别人
不会有任何前途
谁想吃点蛋糕
蛋糕总是很好吃
您好
稍等
弗雷迪·默丘里
有你的电话
这名字真好听
弗雷迪说你是什么科学家
-其实是天体物理学 -好吧
如果我能读下去我父亲会很高兴
-什么时候 -你得很聪明吧
-他是个牙医 -我从来不是牙医
-我想看看这张照片 -他就是个牙医
我知道了
-那其实也得很聪明 -卡什
你等会做什么
做作业
不过是聊聊而已
那时候他都听些什么音乐
他会听小理查德
-真不错 -理查德 是啊
还有他的第一支乐队
我有事情要宣布
一位负责艺人开发的先生
EMI公司的 看到我们录音
把我们的样带给了约翰·里德
他可是管理艾尔顿·约翰的
天呐
里德先生想见我们
甚至有可能做我们的经纪人
-不会吧 -你在开玩笑吧
我的天呐
你确定他说的是12点吗
是的 正午酒吧见 别喝醉了
他是这么说的
-你看着有点紧张 布莱恩 -约翰 我没事
你总是特别明显
放松点
基佬
我怎么不知道这是化装舞会 弗雷
我得给别人留下深刻印象 亲爱的
你看起来像只愤怒的蜥蜴
-说得太好了 -绝妙
你是要飞走吗
周日去教堂礼拜我能借一下吗
你们就是皇后乐队啊
你一定是弗雷迪·默丘里
你很有天赋
你们都很有天赋
跟我说说
跟我见过的那些想要成为摇滚明星的乐队相比
皇后乐队有什么与众不同之处
我来跟你说有什么不同
我们四个格格不入 没什么归属感
我们为其他格格不入的人演奏
那些总是待在后面
心里清楚自己格格不入的异类
我们是属于他们的乐队
我们是家人
但又各不相同
保罗
保罗·普兰特
来见见皇后乐队
我们新签下的乐队
-保罗会照顾你们的日常 -幸会
如果我能让电台播你们的音乐
也许就能让你们上电视
-《流行音乐最前端》-有希望
之后呢
还之后呢
那只不过是全国最火的电视节目
没人听说过你们
听着 我很欣赏你们的积极性
如果一切顺利 如果可以的话
我还考虑让你们去日本做推广巡演
我们想要更多
每支乐队都想要更多
不是所有乐队都是皇后乐队
-听着 我理解 -快
我理解这是BBC的制度
-我们是有程序的 -这简直是屎
拜托请你跟乐队解释一下
-好 快点儿 -弗雷迪 伙计们
听着 伙计们 我们会用录音播放
只需要对嘴唱
我们知道怎么演奏乐器
你想让我对嘴唱
我不理解为什么我们不能现场演奏
反正观众看不出差别
我们能知道这该死的差别
这里是BBC
在这儿就得这么做 明白吗
别做烦人精
弗雷迪 演出会很棒的
你只需要确保没人盯着你的嘴看就好
这里的一切都是胡扯 老伙计
这里是BBC
我倒是松了口气
可不是嘛
完美演出
她是杀手女王
火药般火辣 明胶般滑嫩
爆炸时如镭射光束般闪耀
一定会让你意乱情迷
任何时候
二号机位 只拍腰部以上
摄像机抬起来
二号机位
没人想在吃饭的时候看这个
一瞬间 她就如
小猫般有趣
突然就停下
暂时没了兴致
这会让你发狂 发狂
给大家唱歌是什么感觉
当我知道他们在听我唱歌
当我知道我真的走进了他们心里
我就算想唱跑调都不可能
我如今成为了我生来就要成为的那个人
我什么都不怕
另外一个让我有同样感觉的时刻
就是跟你在一起的时候
别动
你是我此生挚爱
弗雷迪
我应该戴哪根手指呢
结婚的那根
你愿意嫁给我吗
当然
你打算让它一直呆在盒子里吗
弗雷迪 这太漂亮了
我很喜欢
答应我你永远不会摘下来
我答应你
无论发生什么
我爱你 弗雷迪
你会有了不起的成就的
我们会有了不起的成就的
你的电话打不通
这是克丽丝朵
是谢丽尔
对 没错 是我记错了
卫生间在哪儿
走廊尽头
请进啊 请随意
别管我们
你好 玛丽 你爸爸怎么样
很好 谢谢关心
-很好 -有事吗 布莱恩
如果你接了电话 你就会知道
现在真的不太方便 伙计们
约翰·里德今天打电话过来了
他准备为我们安排一个小巡演
一点儿也不小 布莱恩
他帮我们定了美国的巡演
专辑在美国冲上了排行榜
太棒了
梦想成真
准备好开启摇滚之旅了吗
美国中西部
我们爱你 克利夫兰
我们爱你 休斯顿
我们爱你 丹佛 很高兴来这里
观众很多吗
每晚演出的票都卖空了
我真希望你能在这儿看看
大家真的很爱我们
我们爱你 波特兰
他也有大屁股
我们爱你 新奥尔良
我们爱你 亚特兰大
罗 下来跟大家打个招呼
我们爱你 匹兹堡
-罗杰 -开始吧
我很好 就是很想你
你在做什么
没我你怎么可能过得开心
没有比美国巡演更激动人心的了
代我向乐队问好
我会的 爱你
再见 弗雷迪 我爱你
大家好
-你迟到了 -有吗
我们给你留了座位
-真棒 -好了 既然大家都到了
吉姆 这位是雷·福斯特
-雷 这位是乐队律师吉姆·比奇 -你好
你不要再那么喊他了
那是他的名字
不 我们不能一直叫他吉姆·比奇
那太荒唐了 更不用说还无聊至极
迈阿密
从现在开始 我赐名予你迈阿密海滩
太阳总是在身后落下 是吗
在迈阿密海滩上
好吧
既然大家都有了认可的名字
我们开始谈正事 听着…
我们真的需要一些特别的东西
更多热门歌曲
像《杀手女王》那样的
只不过要更宏大
我们创作的不是随便什么小玩意
我们不能复制《杀手女王》
不行
我们能做得更好
这是歌剧
-歌剧 -歌剧
这里好像有回声呢
是这样 我们不想重复自己
总是一样的模式反反复复
套用模式创作完完全全就浪费时间
模式管用
我们就照模式来吧
我喜欢模式
我们给专辑起名叫
《歌剧之夜》
你有没有意识到没人真正喜欢歌剧
我喜欢歌剧
-真的吗 -真的
别理解错了 亲爱的
这会是一张摇滚专辑
只不过加了一些歌剧元素
一些希腊悲剧的伤情
一些莎士比亚的睿智
一些音乐剧中无拘无束的快乐
-是一种音乐体验 -可不嘛
而不仅仅是另一张专辑
而是一种普世的东西…
一种…
一种让大家觉得是属于他们的东西
我们将融合不同流派 打破界限
如果我们想的话 就算是说方言也行
没有哪一种音乐风格能概括我们
-没错 -没人知道皇后乐队代表什么
因为它不只有一种解释
你怎么看 约翰
我…
同意乐队的想法
你当然会同意了
你怎么看
叫我迈阿密
天助勇者
当然了 一位您这样的…
独特品味的绅士
应该不怕冒一点小风险吧
拜托不要让我后悔这个决定
你真有趣
这是录音棚
目的是为了排除一切干扰
我知道这里跟丽思酒店有天壤之别
-罗杰 你住这间 -好吧
弗雷迪 这间是你的 最大的一间
布莱恩 你住那间
约翰 你住楼下
那么…
这里都是你的 约翰
房间小一些就不那么冷
好吧
真是太棒了
一生挚爱 你伤害了我
你伤了我的心
又离我而去
一生挚爱 你难道不明白
快回来 快回来
别离开我
因为你不知道
你对我有多重要
真动听
这首歌叫什么
《一生挚爱》我写给玛丽的
你说是就是吧
别误会 保罗
玛丽对我的了解 是别人无法企及的
我了解你 弗雷迪·默丘里
你是这么觉得的吗
不 你不了解我
你只能看到你想看到的
我们一起工作 仅此而已
我把全副身心都投入到这首歌里了
没人怀疑那一点
你不喜欢它
是因为你想让自己的歌被收录进专辑
-不是那样的 罗杰 -那是哪样
《我爱上了我的车》
可能不够劲
不够劲是什么意思
我知道我来晚了 我错过了什么
我们在讨论罗杰那首写车的歌
够不够劲 我就问你
要是就我一个人这么想 那我道歉
那你的新歌怎么样了
你叫我甜心
我就像美味芝士一样
挺好的呀
我的手摸到你的注油枪
真是微妙啊
那是比喻 布莱恩
就是有点奇怪 罗杰
你到底在对那辆车做什么
孩子们 别闹了
我们当然可以互相残杀
但这样一来 谁去录专辑呢
数据表明 大多数乐队的结局并不是过气
而是成员闹翻了
你说这种话用意何在
罗杰 这支乐队只容得下
一个能闹能作的人
你知道你为什么愤怒吧 罗杰
为什么
因为你知道你的歌不够劲
-不够… -这下够了吗
那这样呢
不许扔咖啡机
再见 所有人啊
我必须走
不得不离你们而去面对真相
妈妈
我不想死
有时我宁愿从未降生于世
然后呢
真的很棒
太好了 我爱这段
按按钮再说 弗雷迪
我知道 我知道它在哪
我知道 喂喂
好
很好
你弹着感觉就像这段是你写的一样
确实是啊 那段就是我写的
逗你呢
好吧 满意了吗
我觉得好美
几乎完美
几乎
对 让它更摇滚一些
这个随时都可以 弗雷
全身心投入
好 好的
全身心投入 我懂了
不是那样
-不 我懂 我懂 -好
-注入灵魂 对吗 -多走点心
我会的 可以开始了吗
罗伊 可以了吗
然后就到歌剧那段了
你会喜欢的
歌剧那段
-我知道 很疯狂 -我爱那段 弗雷 很爱
我不知道会怎样 可能会搞砸
-也可能会成功 -我爱那段
我们还有什么可失去的呢
什么都没有
你说得对
好了 开始吧
迪迪
怎么样
-弗雷迪 -再高点
你能再高点吗
再高就超越人类听力极限了
试试看
弗雷迪说的 抱歉
继续 继续录
第24次叠录弗雷的唱段
怎么样
-好点了吗 -再高点
天啊 你还要我再唱多少遍伽利略
弗雷迪想再多叠几层音
我们还有带子可用吗
我确实得说一句 带子快被磨穿了
不能再叠了
我们也耗不起了
我们已经落后进度三周了
第26次叠录弗雷的唱段
再来一次 再来一次
再来
继续
伽利略到底是谁
我的蛋都要提到胸腔里了
-行了吗 -可以了
他爱你
这就对了
真好听 爱
天啊
其实 我不太确定
当初你们答应做的专辑是这样的
不 这比我们当初答应的专辑更好
比任何人
答应给你做的专辑都更好 亲爱的
这就是杰作
-天啊 -这专辑很棒 雷
我们更喜欢称之为杰作
它花了那么多钱 还有…
波西米亚
狂想曲
狂想曲 那是什么
-是一种史诗 -这也太长了 足足六分钟
要是你觉得六分钟长 那你妻子也太可怜了
你猜怎么着
我们要把它作为单曲发行
不可能 超过三分钟的…
而且电台也不会安排播放的 不用再说了
还有 这究竟唱的是什么
小丑
伽利略
还有什么乱七八糟的以兹玛拉
还是以实玛拉
是诵真主之名
对
诵真主之名
到底是唱什么的 什么诵真主之名
真正的诗是写给听众的
要是一切都直白明了 神秘感就被毁了
但是销量不会被毁
一首歌的正常时长是三分钟
约翰
好吧 我们需要电台
标准确实是三分钟 我不得不同意雷说的
我觉得单曲用《一生挚爱》比较好
不行
好吧 那约翰的歌呢
《你是我最好的朋友》怎么样
你让我活下去
朗朗上口 更劲
那《我爱上了我的车》呢
你开玩笑吧 天啊
我爱这首
这种歌
青少年会在车里开大音量播放
边听边猛摇头
他们听《波西米亚狂想曲》就不会这么干
乐队决定了《波西米亚狂想曲》
-就这样 -《你是我最好的朋友》
出钱的人是我
《波狂》没得商量
不然我们走人
《麦克阿瑟公园》时长七分钟 风靡一时
我不是想讨论波西米亚什么什么的
-音乐性 -狂想曲
但是电台绝对不会答应播放
一首六分钟的惨兮兮的伪歌剧歌曲
唱着一堆听不懂的歌词
诵真主之名胡扯
做这张唱片花的是我的钱 所以得听我的
我们没有法律追索权吗
雷
《月之暗面》是你发行的吧 对不对
对
我非常喜欢那张专辑
从法律角度说 没有
他牢牢控制着你们
当然了 在舆论的法庭上就是另一码事了
雷·福斯特在音乐业内赫赫有名 但是
对普通人来说
一提起皇后乐队的名字
大家会竖起耳朵
我们选《你是我最好的朋友》
-说定了 -不 我们清楚哪首最好
即便你有眼无珠
那首叫《波西米亚狂想曲》
你将永远被称为失去了皇后乐队的人
真是一群神经质的艺术家
他们清楚得很 自己受合同约束
但谁知道歌手
不可思议的脑袋里在想什么
记住我这句话
要是他们不小心点
等到今年年末
皇后乐队将无人知晓
天啊
你可以从我们的版税里扣
-傻逼 -杂种
去你的金唱片
你犯下大错了 福斯特
混蛋
你们再也别想出金唱片了
这群庸才
想想我可是和亨德里克斯合作过的人
今天来到演播室的是
歌手弗雷迪·默丘里
你今天给我们带来了什么
我们能有幸听一听你的新专辑吗
我真的不该在这儿放的
禁果吗 别诱惑我
-《我爱上了我的车》-另一面
《波西米亚狂想曲》
我还真不知道弗雷迪跟肯尼这么熟
BBC不愿意播放
我也不知道
其实 没人愿意在电台上放那首歌
所以EMI不会发行这首
这首歌有什么问题
什么问题都没有
只不过它长达六分钟
六分钟
要是放这首歌 你就绝对是疯了
百分之百是疯了
-我绝对不允许 -我们来听听
女士们和小姐们
首都电台
独家首播
《波西米亚狂想曲》
你以为能扔石头吐口水羞辱我
你以为能爱我然后丢下我等死
宝贝
别这样对我
快点逃
快点逃出去
观众多爱他啊
爱不够
什么都无所谓
谁都明白
什么都无所谓
我真的什么都无所谓
无论风吹向何方
汤姆 杰瑞 能听见吗
弗雷迪 我什么时候能见到你
我马上就回家了 亲爱的
你能不能让罗密欧接电话
我好跟他说我想他
你想我吗
好傻的问题
当然想了
我爱你
晚安
早 老大
把这摊收拾干净 把你的朋友打发走
穿好衣服
布莱恩说
这是商演史上观众最多的一场演出
整晚
我之前不知道他们懂不懂我表达的东西
然后
一生挚爱 你伤害了我
你伤了我的心
又离我而去
一生挚爱 你难道不明白
快回来 快回来
别离开我
所有人都在唱
几千人
都在为你唱
因为这是真的
弗雷迪 怎么了
有些事不太对劲 已经有段时间了
说吧
说
我考虑了很久
我觉得我是双性恋
弗雷迪 你是同性恋
我知道了一段时间了
我只是不想承认
有趣的是 我总是碰上这种事
我爱你 但是…
我爱你 玛丽 但是我需要空间
我爱你 玛丽 但是我遇到了另一个人
现在呢 我爱你 但是我是…
这次是最难接受的 因为甚至都不能怪你
不 别拿下来
别拿下来
你答应过我永远都不拿下来的
你想从我这里得到什么
我要你的一切
我要你在我的生活中
为什么
我们彼此信任
那意味着一切
对于我们而言
你的生活会非常艰难
你觉得怎样
更基了
不是胡子 亲爱的 是房子
是不是很棒
玛丽已经搬到隔壁了
这样她可以看看猫 看看我
每只猫都有自己的房间
黛利拉的房间在厨房边
米可在隔壁
蒂芙尼 奥斯卡 罗密欧 都住楼上
莉莉的房间比这间还大 它被宠坏了
我觉得回声不够明显
我就知道你会喜欢
留下吃晚饭吧
你想吃什么都行
不行 得回家陪妻子孩子
当然了
来嘛 我们坐地上吃 很干净
改天吧 弗雷
-喂 -玛丽
-嗨 -你好 吾爱
我需要你帮我做件事
但别问问题
弗雷迪 这次你又要做什么
不 我刚说 你不能问问题
好吧
你去卧室窗前
望向窗外
-你看到我了吗 -看到了
你也这样做
别关灯
过来喝一杯吧
-现在吗 -就现在
很晚了 弗雷迪
来嘛
求你了
你那里有喝的吗
有吧
去拿吧 给自己倒上一杯
给你自己倒一杯喝的 亲爱的
倒好了吗
好了
干杯
敬你 吾爱
敬你 弗雷迪
晚安
-喂 -保罗
弗雷迪
宝贝 我想办派对
好 你想要请谁
人们
你摇一摇长着怪人的树
把掉在地上的人都请来
矮人 巨人
魔法师 祖鲁人 柔术演员
吞火者
神父
我们需要告解
给我倒满好吗 特里克西
太棒了 弗雷 你超越了自己
谢谢 约翰 真高兴你喜欢
他们说钱买不到快乐 宝贝们
但你确实可以散财
你和保罗相处得很不错嘛
他现在是特里克西
因为他总爱搞事
告诉我 罗
一辆车最性感的部分是哪里
瞧瞧 瞧瞧
陛下
不 我不是陛下
我们都是陛下 宝贝们
-干杯 -干杯
-谢谢 宝贝们 -罗
玛丽呢
她不喜欢这种场合吧 弗雷迪
真棒 是不是
你说是就是吧
你们看上去越来越像了
那有什么不好 布莱恩
你应该是摇滚乐队的一员 弗雷迪
而不是村民乐队的
改天考虑一下理发吧
绝不 我生来如此
快来
-我们跳舞吧 -太好了
我不跳舞 弗雷迪
要跳舞我得让自己更醉一些
这是我的派对 我命令你们跳舞
我们该走了
我下敕令
我们打算撤了实际上
天啊 你们真无趣
要是你们再无趣些 就变成迪迪了
你在抱怨什么
你有你的小宠物陪着呢
没错
而且他忠心耿耿
忠诚太重要了 你觉得呢 多米尼克
小心点 弗雷
-我们走 -你们要去哪
回家
开玩笑而已
弗雷迪 有时候你就是一个彻头彻尾的混蛋
-晚安 -布莱恩
别管他们
快来 你的宾客们等着呢
他们都想见见水星默丘里
快来
好了
亲爱的们
终于到了
一醉方休的时候
先生 我的白粉在哪
你可够胆大的
帮我拿杯酒 你就知道了
我今晚是为你工作没错
但你再摸我一下 我就锤死你
明白了吗
真抱歉
无意冒犯 抱歉
我不会再那样了 好吗
我给你拿瓶啤酒
喝瓶啤酒也无妨
你能告诉我啤酒放在哪里吗
你真英俊
我喜欢穿制服的男人
我也是
你的朋友们都离你而去了
他们不是我的朋友
并不是
我只是用他们来转移注意力
从什么上转移
那些空虚的时刻吧 我猜
它们让人难以忍受
所有的…
你以为已经甩在身后的黑暗又再次袭来
我懂你说的
真的吗
那要怎么办呢
和真正的朋友共度
你好像很需要一个朋友
我喜欢你
我也喜欢你 弗雷迪
等你决心喜欢自己了再来找我
至少告诉我你的名字吧
吉姆·赫顿
-晚安 吉姆 -晚安 弗雷迪
或者应该说早安
我要一条新的船
这是我的 这个
你不是说我们要去见他吗
-我还有一个小时 -等等 这个怎么样
不 我觉得我们还是选那个
大小很合适
去他的
大家都到鼓台上来
-上鼓台 -快来
谢谢 克丽丝 你真热情
-家属也过去吗 布莱恩 -我
对 快 约翰 所有人
-我不等了 -走吧
上去
-贝斯 -不 用不着拿
上去
-快点 罗 抓紧时间 -好嘛
这是干什么
还记得我们上次演唱会吗
观众对着我们 唱我们的歌
震耳欲聋 但感觉非常棒
他们成了我们的演出的一部分
我想鼓励这种行为 所以
我有个想法 能让他们更多地参与进来
先这样
按这个节奏跺脚
天才
谢谢你 约翰
来吧
很好
现在大家在第三拍的时候拍手
不要加快速度
罗 保持这个速度
普兰特没来吗
挺少见你不带着你的克隆人
挺少见你嘴这么毒
一般是我
速度保持住了 罗 很好
现在这是怎么回事
你要是准时来不就知道了
我是个表演者 亲爱的 不是瑞士列车员
抱歉我迟到了
又一次
行吧
能不能劳驾你告诉我
为什么你们一种乐器也不用
我想给听众一首他们能演奏的歌
让他们加入到乐队中来
那他们能做什么呢
想象一下
数千观众
一齐这么做
怎么样
那歌词呢
你这孩子喜欢闹出大动静
在街头玩耍 盼望有天成为大人物
你脸上蹭了泥
真是丢人
到处踢你那铁罐
还唱着
我们要让你摇滚起来
你现在血气方刚 是个硬汉
在大街上嚷嚷着
有一天总会征服这个世界
你脸上挂了彩
真是丢人
到处挥舞着你的旗帜
我们要让你摇滚起来
一起来
我们要让你摇滚起来
很好
你现在衰老又可怜
用双眼向人恳求
有一天能得到些许平静
你脸上蹭了泥 真是丢人
最好有人来让你摆正位置
来吧
我们要让你摇滚起来
我感觉好像尝了一口大苹果
谁想来尝尝我
好了 来和我一起唱
我从没见过任何人像这样和观众互动
比其他任何乐队都要浩大 不觉得吗
我是说 这皇后乐队
又能红多久呢
他和你说什么了吗
没有明说
但哥伦比亚唱片公司有兴趣
做个单飞
好大的数目
那是配得上弗雷迪的数目
你应该去向他提出来
你们好 近来如何
-挺好 -一切都好
约翰 再来一杯吗
不用了 谢谢
这是您的可乐 马上就来
-弗雷迪 -你在这儿
天啊 弗雷迪 放我下来
你太棒了
那是因为我知道你在看我呀
我想你了
我们得好好聊一场
谢谢
这是我男朋友 大卫
大卫 这是弗雷迪
真是一场盛大的演出
谢谢
过奖了 非常感谢
太感谢了
你的戒指呢
我只是不想戴着这么贵重的东西出门
弗雷迪 这里有些人你得会会
你答应过会去打个招呼的
我答应过吗
我们该走了
我们很快会再见的吧
是的 当然 当然了
很高兴见到你 大卫
我也是
再次祝贺你
你也是
再见
谢谢你们大老远的跑来
再见
接着有个MTV的采访
飞到休斯顿做个特别节目
周五回来
现在听我说
你知道去年
谁的专辑占全部销量的4%吗
我说的是全世界
迈克尔·杰克逊
不是杰克逊五人组
迈克尔·杰克逊
我觉得你能比他更强
其实我这有一份哥伦比亚唱片公司的邀请
这对你来说是一大笔钱 弗雷
我认为你应该考虑一下
你是要我解散乐队吗
我只是向你指明单飞会为你带来什么
它能让你不再感到沮丧
我沮丧什么
保罗
我不知道你在说什么 约翰
也许是我误解了
请吩咐 先生
靠边停车
停车 靠边停车
-滚出去 立刻出去 -搞什么
从车里滚出去 你被炒了
-你说什么炒了 -我说让你滚
-弗雷迪 你嗑嗨了 -我说滚出去
你在说什么
滚 再不滚我就杀了你
滚蛋 你这个卑鄙小人
-你脑子不清醒 -你他妈赶紧从我车里出去
滚啊
滚
你他妈出去 滚出去
你身边的小人不是我 弗雷迪
你会后悔的
你他妈滚
开车
搞什么 一边去
可长点眼吧 我他妈碾死你
一边去
你对这件事知情吗
我警告过他别这样的
他就是贪婪
想拆散我的家庭
我们可以管好乐队
我们不需要他
你对我需要什么又了解多少
我知道无法融入
是什么感觉
一个来自贝尔法斯特 信天主教的同性恋男孩
你知道吗
我认为 比起让我做自己 我爸可能
还更愿意让我死掉
现在由我来照顾你 弗雷迪
如果你允许的话
你在读什么呢
板球比赛而已
我们是个摇滚乐队
我们不搞迪斯科
-这不是迪斯科 -那是什么
这是皇后乐队
太抱歉了 亲爱的们
时间全忘了
你竟然和我们招呼都不打就把里德炒了
你不能为整个乐队做决定
真是太抱歉了 亲爱的
事情已经定了
再说了
迈阿密会做我们的经纪人
对吧 亲爱的
我会考虑一下的
不 你又嗑嗨了吗
真厉害 大侦探
你得悠着点 弗雷
-别扫兴 我人不是在这儿了 -你魂在吗
我不管你是不是一副臭脸
只要能唱歌就行
不 约翰 我不想做这首
那我就一定要做这首
你几个意思
我唱颂歌唱的都烦了
我想要夜店里的那种活力
那些肉体
-我想要人们动起来 -你是说迪斯科
为什么不呢
你介意滚开吗 我们这是乐队内部讨论
鼓循环 电子合成器
-你说是就是吧 -这不是我们的风格
-我们 -这不是皇后乐队
皇后乐队由我说了算
那你自个儿打鼓去吧
弗雷
行啊 我倒要看看你是个多牛逼的拳手
罗杰 别冲动 别冲动
别冲动
你够了 拳王阿里
那个
那个乐节确实还挺不错的
是你谱的
真不赖
没错 要是你们
全都给我闭嘴开始表演 那才是真不错
-是他起的头 -闭嘴吧你
史蒂夫无精打采的走在街上
帽沿拉得很低很低
街道很静 唯有他的脚步声清晰
机枪早已上了膛
你准备好了吗
你为此准备好了吗
你是不是已经蠢蠢欲动
门外子弹呼啸
这活我干
随着节拍划破长空
这活 我干
你即兴发挥就好 想怎样就怎样
这没问题
一起来
史蒂夫无精打采的走在街上
帽沿拉得很低很低
街道很静 唯有他的脚步声清晰
机枪早已上了膛
你准备好了吗 你为此准备好了吗
你是不是已经蠢蠢欲动
门外子弹呼啸
随着节拍划破长空
又有一个人倒下
一个又一个倒下
又有一个人倒下
这主意不错
我也会抓到你
又有一个人倒下
你说我接下来要怎么生活
现在你已不在
你不过是贪图我的风光
末了又将我抛弃
现在你开心了 满意了吧
这样的炙热你还能忍耐多久
门外子弹呼啸
随着节拍划破长空
弗雷迪
-弗雷迪 -弗雷迪 作为皇后乐队的队长
作为皇后乐队的队长
你是否觉得是自己引领了乐队的成功
我不是皇后乐队队长 我只是主唱
弗雷迪 我有个问题要问弗雷迪
你是否怀疑过自己的才能
没有 这是个愚蠢的问题
-别冲动 弗雷 -下一个问题
弗雷迪 你的牙齿
你为什么不去整牙
我生活在英国 我想和大家保持一致
-下一个 -你怎么不整整自己的礼节
这对任何人来说都是个混账问题
的确是个混账问题
在你的歌曲《生活是真实的》中
爱情宛若轮盘赌
这句话是什么意思
你是在暗示拥有的伴侣越多
就越有可能…
染上一些东西
什么
我不知道 我还没搞懂爱情
但这句话别有深意 弗雷迪
也许罗更适合来回答这个问题
说话小心点
弗雷迪 关于你的私生活
小报上有很多你的照片
看上去醉醺醺或是病怏怏
到底是怎么回事 你是病了还是酗酒
我上周感冒了 如果有人关心的话
尽管我们非常乐意回答关于感冒的问题
我更想谈谈专辑
各位有音乐方面的问题吗
弗雷迪 弗雷迪 弗雷迪
弗雷迪 弗雷迪 你的父母
是保守的琐罗亚斯德教教徒
我想知道 他们是怎么看待你的公众形象的
-这和音乐 -我父母死于火灾
我恰好了解到这并非事实 不是吗
我只是想知道他们是否以你为傲
你的父母以你为傲吗
你出落成他们所期望的模样了吗
我希望他们是以我为傲的
我可不敢苟同
有人想聊聊专辑吗
弗雷迪 弗雷迪 弗雷迪
能否请你回答一下我的问题
希望是个好问题
都闭嘴
弗雷迪 你能否和我们谈谈
有关你性向的传言呢
不如谈谈有关你缺乏性生活的传言
我只是个音乐娼妓 亲爱的
你能回答问题吗
你叫什么名字 亲爱的
雪莉·斯特恩
-雪莉 -我在
你两腿之间那玩意儿咬人吗
请你回答问题
我们只是出于礼节坐这儿的
台上可坐着四个人
你在怕什么 弗雷迪
你想听什么
真相是什么
你就不能说一次实话吗
你为什么要在父母的事情上说谎 弗雷迪
我没有撒谎 我只是…
你的粉丝理应了解真相 弗雷迪
请你回答问题
这不关你的事
-不 你是公众人物 -你在怕什么 弗雷迪
-你的父母 -能否告诉我们
-关于 -你的性向
什么 为什么 为什么
-你就不能诚实一点吗 -染上什么东西
你的粉丝理应了解真相
我们的读者想知道
你的读者想知道什么
他们想知道什么
棒 我可以坐起来了吗
这是什么情况
不 不可以
-人家也要坐进来 -从我身上滚下去
弗雷迪 你在里面吗
弗雷迪
他们到了
我们不能再拖了
弗雷迪
MTV把我们的视频禁了
说什么毒害美国的年轻一代
MTV还是我们捧红的
那可是美国
他们表面正人君子 背地里却净是下流勾当
我再也不去美国巡演了
而且我还成了那个背黑锅的
不是你 亲爱的
变装明明是你的主意
也不是你
甚至不是你 这破歌是你写的
不是你们
是那个穿异装的疯子弗雷迪
是变态弗雷迪 基佬弗雷迪
我受够了巡演 难道你们没有吗
专辑 巡演 专辑 巡演
我想做一些不一样的事
我们是个乐队 乐队就该如此
-专辑 巡演 专辑 巡演 -我要休息一阵
我受够了
你想说什么 弗雷迪
我和哥伦比亚唱片公司签了合同
-你什么 -和我们招呼都不打一声吗
什么合同
听着 我不是说再也不录歌或不巡演了
皇后乐队会一直走下去
但我要做些不一样的事
明白我的意思吗 我需要成长
那首歌是什么来着 歌词是高飞
展开双翅 远走高飞
一张个人专辑
两张 其实
-连发 -你再说一句
我就把你从窗子里扔出去
那得是好几年 弗雷迪
-那得花上好几年 -能不能有点信心
简直不敢相信
多少钱
他们给了你多少
我想知道他们给了你多少钱
四百万美元
比皇后乐队任何一次的薪酬都高
例行公事只会扼杀我们
你们一定也想从所有那些争执中解放出来
谁的歌上专辑
谁的歌是单曲
谁写了什么
谁拿的版税多
谁的歌在唱片B面 所有这些
你们一定也需要放个假
弗雷迪 我们是一家人
不 我们不是
我们才不是一家人
你们都有家庭 孩子 妻子
我有什么
你有了四百万美金 或许你能给自己买个家
我再也不会拿自己的未来做让步
让步
你开什么玩笑
当初你在希思罗工作时
是我们给了你一个机会
要是没了我
你不过是个小牙医
周末在冠与锚酒吧给12/8拍的蓝调敲鼓伴奏
而你
你则会成为布莱恩·梅博士
写了一篇引人入胜的关于宇宙的论文
却无人问津
至于迪迪你
我是绞尽脑汁
也想不出来你该干哪行
我是学电气工程的
达到你的标准了吗
棒极了
你刚一把毁了皇后乐队
某天给她一个吻 说不定还能活过来
你需要我们 弗雷迪
远胜于你意识到的
我不需要任何人
喂
保罗 我能和弗雷迪说两句吗
不行啊玛丽 他现在没空
他现在是没日没夜地工作
你一定要告诉他我打来过
别担心 他被照顾得好着呢
我一定会告诉他你打来了的
拜拜
弗雷迪 这真的很棒
这简直是狗屎
别管它
没错 稍等一下
高音再加一点
他人在哪 在那儿吗 我要和他说两句
他正在拼着老命工作
劝他休息我是劝的口干舌燥
保罗 你听我说
这是一次慈善演出
是为埃塞俄比亚大饥荒举行的电视直播演唱会
届时费城和伦敦同时举行演出
将会有十亿人收看
皇后乐队应当参加
他真的一直都很专注
不过我一定会传达你的意思
你会才怪
你好啊
你好啊 进来吧 进来
你怎么这么大老远的跑来
我只是太久没有你的信儿了
我打了一个又一个电话 然后
昨天晚上我做了个噩梦
梦见你出了大事
不不 我只是在工作罢了
弗雷迪 你过分地燃烧自己了
但发出的光芒是多么神圣啊
做人有些时候就需要一些麻醉
-我想你了 -我也想你
我好想好想你
但我还得完成第二张专辑
我需要你
留下吧 留下来陪我
就你和我
我需要此生挚爱的陪伴
弗雷迪
那皇后乐队呢
吉姆告诉我他一直想和你谈谈拯救生命的事
但你不接他电话
什么是拯救生命
你没听说吗
弗雷迪 这是有史以来
最大型的演唱会 以后也难被超越
是为了非洲的饥荒
可能保罗觉得这不是个好主意
会干扰我的工作
把专辑完成才是最重要的事
留下来陪我 亲爱的 我就什么都好了
弗雷迪 我不能留下
你当然可以 我需要你 玛丽
弗雷迪 我怀孕了
你怎么能够
我怎么能够
弗雷迪 这轮不到你指手画脚
来吧 进屋来
我买了点小零食
弗雷迪
抱歉来晚了
玛丽
真是意外之喜
汉斯 大家伙 都进来吧
米兰 招待好客人们
你来过夜怎么不提前告诉我
否则我非得把这地方刷的锃亮不可
其实 我要走了
等等 玛丽 等等 别走
你告诉我你做了个梦
是什么梦
我想和你说话 但…
感觉却像是和我爸爸说话一样
你要告诉我些什么
但你却说不出来
因为你失了声
弗雷迪 来和我们的新客人打声招呼
他们迫不及待想见你了
他马上就来
玛丽
我为你高兴 玛丽
我真的高兴
只是…
我好害怕
弗雷迪 你不必怕
因为不管怎样 都有人爱你
我 布莱恩 迪迪 罗杰
你的家人
这就够了
那些人
他们才不在乎你
保罗不在乎你
你不属于这里 弗雷迪
回家吧
家
弗雷迪
你做什么呢 别冻病了
你为什么没告诉我拯救生命演唱会的事
那个非洲慈善演出吗
那绝对会出丑的
我可不想浪费你的时间
你本该告诉我的
我当然告诉过你
是你忘了
你忘性大
赶紧进来喝一杯吧
你被炒了
你什么意思
我希望你从我的生命中滚蛋
就因为你只剩我了
所以把一切都怪罪在我头上吗
我怪我自己
我就这么被炒了
这么轻巧吗
在我们一起经历了那一切之后
你想想我手里的那些照片
我了解真正的你 弗雷迪·默丘里
你知道人什么时候会察觉自己已经腐烂了吗
烂透了那种
果蝇
肮脏的小果蝇
来残渣上大快朵颐
但如今已经不剩什么供你享用了
滚吧
随便你拿那些照片和故事怎么样
但答应我一件事
永远都不要再让我看见你的脸
永远
我不是故意的
对不起 弗雷迪 回来
我会改的
但是 皮特 也许你说得对
我甚至都没有因为
他身为我的朋友却赶我走而受伤
但你帮人只能帮到那个地步了
那么 普兰特先生…
所有关于弗雷迪·默丘里和他的情人们的故事
真的太多了
嗯
-它们是真的吗 -是的
他的情人不计其数
真的是非常多
所有那些疯狂的 充斥着毒品的派对…
他每晚都从中寻找新的情人…
这是他摆脱不了的习惯
所以说你真的了解面具后的他
我在弗雷迪创作《波西米亚狂想曲》的时候就认识他了
而如今的弗雷迪…
他对音乐不再有同样的激情了
喂
迈阿密
弗雷迪
你还好吗
有这么一个非洲演唱会…
想要皇后乐队参演
现在还来得及…
你是指拯救生命演唱会吗
他们已经公布了所有参演乐队了 弗雷迪
已经太迟了
我需要…
我需要重新和母舰取得联系
弗雷迪 他们不想和你扯上任何关系
他们一直很生气
也许如果由你提出来的话…
他们会愿意见我
告诉他们我想聊聊
只是聊聊
我们是家人
家人…
会争吵…
总是如此
我可以打个电话
谢谢你…
吉姆
作为他的朋友 一个…
八成比其他任何人都更了解弗雷迪·默丘里的人…
你对他这个人的内心有什么样的评价
于我而言 弗雷迪永远都会是…
一个惶恐的巴基斯坦小男孩…
对孤独充满恐惧
我希望他能看见这个
然后醒悟过来失去你他到底损失了什么
我也希望如此
一位亲密且重要的朋友
他们在哪
他们迟到了
你们好呀
吉姆
有人想要茶水 咖啡…
或者刀子的话…
直接…
说一声就好
那么…
谁想第一个说
我先说
我一直很讨人厌
我知道
我活该承受你们的怒火
我自大…
自私
基本上就是个王八蛋
这开头够劲
听着 我很乐意把衣服脱了…
在你们面前自鞭谢罪
但是 我想问你们一个简单的问题
我挺赞同自鞭谢罪的
我要怎么做你们所有人才能原谅我
这就是你的目的吗 弗雷迪
我原谅你了
-行了吗 我们现在能走了吗 -不
我去了慕尼黑
雇了一帮人
我清楚地告诉了他们我需要他们做什么…
但问题在于…
他们照做了
没有罗杰的质疑
没有你的重写
没有他那搞笑的表情
我需要你们
你们也需要我
承认吧
作为四个老皇后我们还不赖
所以…说吧
说出你们的条件
能给我们点时间吗 麻烦了 弗雷
为什么要让他出去
我就想这么做
他们会答应的 他们只是需要点时间
如果我没时间了呢
这话什么意思 弗雷
你现在可以进来了 如果你愿意的话
我们决定…
我们怎么决定的来着
从现在开始…
每一首歌 不管是谁写的 作曲 填词…
都署名皇后乐队
不署我们个人 只用皇后乐队
所有的收入 功劳
都平均分成四份
没问题
我们对你身边的人很有意见
保罗已经走了 我炒了他
-以什么原因 -恶行
还有什么
鲍勃·吉尔道夫
我打电话说服了他把你们插进
拯救生命演唱会的阵容…
但他现在就要答复
你们得做出决定
所有票都卖出去了
温布利球场有十万人
费城肯尼迪体育馆有十万人
全球150个国家的电视观众
13个卫星
奥运会都只有3个
我们好几年没有合作过了
重聚后的第一次就在上百万人前表演
简直是自杀
准确地说是超过十亿五千万人
这四个老古董是谁
麦当娜在哪
表演时长20分钟 每队人马都一样
贾格尔
鲍威
艾尔顿
麦卡特尼
谁人乐队
齐伯林飞艇乐队
菲尔·科林斯
REO快速马车乐队
鲍勃·迪伦
都是些大牌
所有有头有脸的人物都要参加这次演唱会
听着
我只知道…
如果我们在这场演唱会的第二天醒来
并且没有参演…
我们会一直后悔到到死的那天的
求你们了
每一天 在旧金山
都会有两个男人得知那个悲惨的消息
你得了艾滋 没得治
自从法国和美国的医生
在1983年分离出了这种病毒
相关研究就一直在以高速进行着
病毒用来破坏身体免疫系统的方式
已经被发现了
但治疗方法的出现似乎依旧离我们有数年之遥
新的血液测试是一项重大的突破
该测试能保证在未来
没有人会因为输血而感染艾滋病
但该测试刚刚才获准使用
你明白了吗
你这个阶段确实可以去治疗
但都不是很有效 弗雷迪
明知我们的声音无法被听见
但只想呐喊得大声大声更大声
我们到底在为什么而战
不如就此投降 这样就不会受伤
好吧
-就到这里吧 怎样 -好好
抱歉
我听上去像屎一样
你们都很好 听起来很棒
有一阵子了
我的嗓子感觉像是公鸭嗓
我们还有一周呢
我们会成功的
是啊 我们状态不错 弗雷
你只是需要休息一下 仅此而已
是啊
去喝一杯吗 罗
好啊 正好路上有一家不错的小酒馆
-我能一起去吗 -不 当然不行
-我们可是会员… -邀请制的
可不是嘛 是你们的风格
在你们离开之前…
我能占用一点时间吗
可以啊 怎么了
我得了
得了什么
艾滋
我想让你们从我这里得到消息
弗雷 我很遗憾
布莱恩 停
别
目前…
这事你知我知 好吗 只有我们
所以拜托了…
如果你们中的任何一个人
大惊小怪 哭丧着脸 或者最糟的
用你们的同情来烦我…
那就是浪费时间
浪费可以用来做音乐的时间
而我剩下的时间只想用来做音乐
我没有时间去做他们的受害者
他们的艾滋海报模特 他们的警世例子
不 我是谁由我做主
我要成为我生来就要成为的人
一个表演者
一个能给人们他们想要的东西的人
能给他们天堂般的体验
牛逼的弗雷迪·默丘里
你是个传奇 弗雷
你说得太他妈对了 我就是
我们都是传奇
但没错 我就是个传奇
你们给我个机会
让我调理好我磨人的小声带
我们会把那个体育馆的天花板捅穿的
实际上 温布利没有天花板
-好吧 -确实 他说得对 的确没有
那我们就把天空捅穿
尽管你们哭哭啼啼的像三个小姑娘似的
我依旧爱你们
-好了 够了 -好吧
-喝酒去 -好
或者抽一点
你们觉得自己能唱得比我好吗
人人都是个评论家
现在是伦敦时间正午12点
费城时间早上7点
全世界瞩目的拯救生命演唱会现在开启
如果你们有信用卡
可以打电话捐款
你还可以使用现金担保 这也是很重要的
现在捐款数额还不够多
所有那些人都不是在为了自己的福祉演奏
他们是在为全人类的福祉演奏
所以赶紧把你们的钱掏出来
打电话过来 给我们捐钱
你们腰缠万贯 或者就算你们身无分文
也要为那些快要饿死的人出一份力
我们想在国内募捐一百万英镑
电话捐款 今晚10点前
你到底知不知道…
全伦敦有多少个吉姆·赫顿
我不想让你过于轻而易举了
你最近怎么样啊 弗雷迪
我有点迷茫 说实话
你之前说得对
我挺需要个朋友的
愿意和我一起喝个茶吗
喝茶
那么 吉姆 你是怎么认识弗雷迪的
你俩是同事吗
吉姆是我的朋友
有朋友是件好事
点心 洁自己做的
谢谢
-弗雷迪 -你最喜欢的 弗雷迪
我们得走了 妈
你才刚到呢 儿子
走是什么意思
我们得去温布利
你们敢信吗
吉姆居然从来没去过摇滚演唱会
真的
皇后乐队要去拯救生命演唱会表演
我们都在为非洲的饥荒儿童尽一份力
所有人都是义务表演
睿智 善语 良行
和您教我的一样 爸爸
我爱你 儿子
再见 卡什 我也爱你 妈妈
说起来…
我在台上的时候会向你们飞吻的
卡什…
把电视打开
-你好呀 玛丽 -你好 布莱恩
我们是过来祝你们好运的
你好呀 吾爱
你好
玛丽 大卫
这位是吉姆
吉姆
这是玛丽和大卫
很高兴见到你
-你好 -你好
之后见
你在这儿是什么也看不到的
和他们一起去吧
你们觉得大卫怎么样
挺好的小伙子
我觉得他是基佬
我们将于大约一分钟后开始
一二 一二
快到我们了
准备好了吗
感觉不错吧
有人投诉我们声音过大
是一位在比利时的女士
总而言之…
我们非常荣幸地请出下一支乐队
他们就是…
皇后乐队
女王殿下
皇后乐队
没有
妈妈
我刚杀了人
用枪指着他的头
扣下扳机 他命归西
妈妈
人生才刚开始
但如今我却将其全抛弃
妈妈
并非有意惹你哭
如果明日此时我还未归
继续 生活
装作没什么大不了的
太迟了
我大限将至
忍战栗爬我背脊
浑身病痛无喘息
再见 所有人啊
我必须走
不得不离你们而去面对真相
妈妈
我不想死
有时我宁愿从未降生于世
我独坐着 看着你的光
少年的夜晚中我唯一的朋友
我所需要知道的一切
都是从我的收音机上听来的
你创造出了许多旧时明星
都在《火星人入侵地球》的大战里
你让我们笑 你让我们哭
你让我们觉得自己可展翅高飞
所以请别沦为某种背景噪音
沦为男孩女孩的背景板
他们不懂 也不在乎
但你缺席时他们却会抱怨
你有过高光时刻 也曾大权在握
但你最辉煌的时刻还尚未到来
收音机
大家一起
我们所闻皆是
收音机嘎嘎
收音机咕咕
收音机嘎嘎
我们所闻皆是
收音机嘎嘎
收音机咕咕
收音机嘎嘎
我们所闻皆是
收音机嘎嘎
收音机巴拉巴拉
收音机有什么新鲜事
收音机
有人依旧爱着你
爱着
你
-好啦 -好啦
《命运降临》
我们成功 亦或失意
历史完全不在意
铺好床 打开灯
仁慈女士今晚给你闭门羹
你一分一秒都不曾散漫
没听到钟声却响应了召唤
我们一样都要接受审判
命运是时候降临
每一夜 每一日
你都有一小块自己正在消逝
仰起脸用西方国家方式
站上起跑线 参与他们的游戏
命运是时候降临
富贵 贫穷 或出名
你好拯救生命
非常感谢
您是想要捐款吗
你好拯救生命
你好 这里是拯救生命演唱会
哦不
锁上门
你好拯救生命
-我们刚刚到了一百万 -一百万英镑
-一百万英镑 -谢谢 太棒了
我们生于蘑菇云的阴影中
成长得茁壮又自豪
明知我们的声音无法被听见
但只想呐喊得大声大声更大声
我们到底在为什么而战
如今命运是时候是时候降临
很好 再来一次
等待着命运降临
给我再来一次
我已付出代价
一次又一次
我已接受刑罚
但却没有犯罪
至于糟糕的错误
我犯过几个
我接受了足够多的惩罚
但我都挺过来了
我们是冠军 我的朋友
我们将会战斗直至终点
我们是冠军
没时间给败将
因为我们是冠军
是世界之王
我已鞠躬谢幕
如今帷幕落下
你们让我名利双收
还有其他随之而来的一切好处
我感谢你们
但这并非玫瑰花床
也不是享乐游轮
我将其视作是摆放在全人类面前的挑战
而我绝不会输
我们是冠军 我的朋友
我们将会战斗直至终点
我们是冠军
没时间给败将
因为我们是冠军
我们是冠军 我的朋友
我们将会战斗直至终点
我们是冠军
没时间给败将
因为我们是冠军
是世界之王
再见 拜拜
我爱你 弗雷迪
我们爱你们

It's 12:00 noon in London.
7:00 a.m. in Philadelphia.
And around the world, it's time for Live Aid.
Wembley welcomes their Royal Highnesses...
the Prince and Princess of Wales.
David, look at me.
Oi! You missed one, Pakkie!
I'm not from Pakistan.
Dinner is ready.
I'm not hungry, Mum.
Hmm, where are you going?
- Out with friends. - A girl?
Oh, Mum. Look at you.
Give your mother a kiss.
I'm going to be late.
You're always late.
Hi, Papa. How was work?
Out again, Farrokh?
It's Freddie now, Papa.
Freddie or Farrokh...
what difference does it make when you're out every night...
no thought of the future in your head?
Good thoughts, good words, good deeds.
That's what you should aspire to.
Yes.
And how's that worked out for you?
Yeah, they're better than last week.
- They're a cool band. - Yeah, not bad.
Yeah.
What can I get for you?
Pint of lager.
- Thank you. - Thanks.
See you, mate.
Humpy Bong?
Humpy Bong.
They're going places. They're gonna be big.
Humpy Bong? Are you joking?
Don't do it, Tim.
No, I'm sorry, guys, but...
we're not going anywhere with this.
What? College gigs, pubs?
Gotta give it a go.
So I just said to him, "No, you can't do that."
You literally can't hear anything.
It's a bit silly.
But then everyone else was in, like, long dresses?
How bizarre.
You all right?
Sorry. Oh, I was just looking for the band.
They're usually out back.
I like your coat.
It's from Biba.
She works there.
Thank you.
I think he's right.
That show was a load of bollocks.
Well, there was room for improvement, yeah.
I've got better things to do with my Saturday nights.
I could give you their names.
I enjoyed the show.
- Thanks, man. - Thank you.
I've been following you for a while, actually.
Smile.
Makes sense for a dental student.
And you're astrophysics, aren't you?
- Yeah. - Makes you the clever one.
Yeah, I suppose it does, yeah.
I study design here.
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Also, um, I write songs.
Might be of interest to you.
It's just a bit of fun, really.
Well, you're five minutes too late.
Our lead singer just quit.
Well, then you'll need someone new.
Any ideas?
What about me?
Uh, not with those teeth, mate.
I know what I'm doin'
I got a feeling
I should be doin' all right
Doin' all right
I was born with four additional incisors.
More space in my mouth means more range.
I'll consider your offer.
Uh, do you play bass?
Nope.
Excuse me. Thanks.
So, you found me, then.
- How can I help you? - Oh.
Um, I rather liked these.
Do you think you have them in my size?
This is the ladies' section, so I'm not exactly sure.
There wasn't a sign or anything.
I don't think it should really matter, do you?
I thought you might like this.
Are you even allowed to be in here?
No, not really.
One more thing.
May I?
You have such an exotic look.
I love your style.
I think we should all take more risks.
What do you think?
Oh, cheers. Thank you.
Hello, everybody.
We've got a few fresh faces.
This is John Deacon, our bass player.
Yeah, and our new lead singer...
Freddie Bul... Bulsara...
Freddie Bulsara.
That's right.
And Roger, of course. The biggest member of them all.
Hey, Roger!
Hello, all you beautiful people.
Where's Tim?
Who's the Pakkie?
Ready, Freddie?
Let's do it.
Keep yourself alive
I was told a million times Of all the troubles in my way
Mind you grow a little wiser Little better every day
But if I rode a million rivers
- And I crossed a million miles - No, no.
- Still be where I started - Wrong lyric!
- Bread and butter for a smile - Wrong lyric.
Sold a million mirrors In shopping alley ways
But I never saw my face In any window any day
Now they say your folks are telling you
Be a super star
Tell you, just be satisfied
And stay right where you are
Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive
All you people Keep yourself alive
Learn the song, Freddie.
You're late.
This is bollocks!
It's counterclockwise, I think you'll find, John.
Oh, is it? Thank you, Brian.
Would you like to do it? Please, feel free.
No, no, no. Doing a good job.
We sold out every pub and uni south of Glasgow...
and I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere,
eating a ham sandwich!
Trouble is, we're just not thinking big enough.
What have you got in mind, Fred?
An album.
We can't afford an album.
Oh, we'll find a way.
How much do you think we can get for this van?
I hope you're joking.
That's three months' wages.
And a perfectly good van.
Don't be so dramatic, darling.
You're recording an album tonight. Let's go!
Don't you think I sound like shit?
No, it's good.
- Can we try it again? - Sure, yeah.
Sure, it's your money.
Literally.
Sounds a lot better.
We need to get experimental.
Try bouncing us left and right for the ah-ah-ahs.
Now dead center for the last.
And then blast it!
Yes!
That's good, right?
Do we have time to stack a few more?
The studio opens at 8:00, so we got 30 more minutes.
Hmm.
- That sounds good, right? - Yeah.
Oi, RT, who are these kids in the box?
A student band doing some weird stuff.
How about demos? You got some?
Been up all night, mate.
So the new name is Queen?
As in "Her Royal Highness."
And because it's outrageous...
and I can't think of anyone more outrageous than me.
This is the most impractical bed.
That's beautiful.
Think it has potential.
- I have to go to work. - I simply won't allow it.
You're going to support me if I get fired?
I'll always look after you.
I'm going to...
I'm going to be late.
How beautiful you are.
When I was a little girl...
I used to run around the house and hide and...
he couldn't find me.
Clever girl.
Please tell your father it's nice to meet him.
I have.
Then thank him for the lovely birthday cake.
I have.
Then tell him his daughter's an epic shag.
Freddie, he can read lips.
Mary...
I can't tell you how long I have waited for Farrokh...
to bring home a nice girl like you.
Farrokh?
Did Farrokh not tell you he was born in Zanzibar?
- No, he did not. - I used to know a girl
- who was Zanzibari. - One minute.
I thought Freddie was born in London.
- Oh, he was. At the age of 18. - Shut up.
Our family is Indian Parsee.
- Mum. Mum, Mum. - Mary...
- Mum. - Mum, please...
Here. Have a look at these.
- Yes. Yeah. - Please! Please.
- No stopping. - We need to see those.
A thousand years ago,
the Parsees fled to India from Persia...
to escape Muslim persecution.
Really? That's terrible.
So why did you leave Zanzibar?
We didn't leave.
He's so small.
We were chased out with just the clothes on our backs.
He was quite a good boxer, actually.
He had to be.
His opponents went for his teeth
always trying to punch them in.
Certainly a target.
So how old is he in this photo?
I think three or four years old.
Really? Boxing already at that age?
So good.
Mercury?
No looking back.
Only forward.
So now the family name's not good enough for you?
It's just a stage name.
No, it's not.
I changed it legally.
Got a new passport and everything.
Kash, how old are you here?
I don't know.
It was before Freddie went off to boarding school.
I sent Farrokh away to make a good Parsee boy of him.
He was too wild and unruly.
But what good did it do?
Good thoughts, good words, good deeds.
You can't get anywhere
pretending to be someone you're not.
Who'd like some cake?
Cake is always good.
Hello?
Just a moment.
Freddie Mercury.
Phone call.
Quite like the sound of that.
Freddie tells me that you're some sort of a scientist.
- Astrophysics, actually. - Oh.
Yeah, my father would've preferred it if I continued.
- When? - That's very clever.
- He's a dentist. - I was never a dentist.
That's a picture I want to see.
He's a dentist.
I see.
That's also quite clever, actually.
Kash...
what are you doing later?
Homework.
Just making conversation.
What kind of music
was he listening to back in those days?
Uh, he was listening to Little Richard.
- Very good. - Richard, yeah.
And his first band...
I have an announcement.
One of the A&R men...
from EMI saw us recording.
Gave our demo to John Reid.
He looks after Elton John.
Oh, my God.
Mr. Reid wants to meet us...
and possibly, even manage us.
- Shut up. - You're joking!
Oh, my God!
You're sure he said 12 o'clock?
Yes. "Midday at the pub, don't be drunk."
That's what he said.
You look a bit nervous, Brian.
John, I'm fine.
You're usually so particular.
You just gotta be cool.
- Wow! - Wanker.
I didn't know it was fancy dress, Fred.
I've gotta make an impression, darling.
You look like an angry lizard.
- It's your best work. - Very subtle.
You gonna fly away?
Can I borrow it for Sunday church?
So, this is Queen.
And you must be Freddie Mercury.
You've got a gift.
You all have.
So tell me...
what makes Queen any different
from all the other wannabe rock stars I meet?
I'll tell you what it is.
We're four misfits who don't belong together,
playing to the other misfits.
The outcasts right at the back of the room...
who are pretty sure they don't belong either.
We belong to them.
We're a family.
But no two of us are the same.
Paul.
Paul Prenter...
meet Queen...
our new signing.
Paul will be looking after your day-to-day.
Pleasure.
If I can get you on the radio...
maybe I can get you on television.
- Top of the Pops? - Hopefully.
And then?
And then...
it's only the biggest
television program in the country.
No one's ever even heard of you.
Look, I admire your enthusiasm.
If it goes well, if it happens...
I've got a promotional tour of Japan in mind.
We'll want more.
Every band wants more.
Every band's not Queen.
- Listen, I understand. - Hurry up.
I understand that it's the policy of the BBC.
We have procedures. This is shit!
I need you to explain it to the band, please.
- Okay, let's make it quick. - Freddie, boys.
Look, chaps, it is going to be playback.
Lip synch's all that's required.
We do know how to play our instruments.
You want me to lip synch?
I don't understand why we can't simply perform live.
The audience will never know the difference.
We'll know the bloody difference.
This is the BBC.
That's how things are done around here. All right?
Don't be a nuisance.
Freddie, it'll be great.
You'll just have to make sure no one's looking at your lips.
Well, the way things are done
are a load of bollocks, old chap.
This is the BBC.
I'm relieved.
You would be.
Perfect performance.
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Number two, only above the waist.
Camera up!
Camera two! No one wants to see this
while they're eating their meal.
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
What was it like singing for all those people?
When I know they're listening...
when I know I really have them...
I couldn't sing off-key if I tried.
I'm exactly the person I was always meant to be.
I'm not afraid of anything.
The only other time I ever feel that way
is when I'm with you.
Don't move.
You're the love of my life.
Freddie.
Which finger do I put this on?
Wedding finger.
Will you marry me?
Yes!
Are you gonna leave it in the box?
Freddie, it's beautiful.
I love it.
Promise me you'll never take it off.
Oh, I promise.
No matter what.
I love you, Freddie.
You're going to do such great things.
We're going to do great things.
Your phone's off the hook.
This is Crystal.
Cheryl!
Oh, that's right. My mistake.
Where's your loo?
Uh, just down the hall.
Oh, come on in. Make yourselves at home.
Don't mind us.
Hello, Mary. How's your dad?
Yeah, pretty well. Thanks.
- Good. - What's going on, Brian?
Well, if you'd answered your phone, you'd know already.
This really isn't a good time, guys.
John Reid called today.
He has a little tour in mind for us.
It's not little, Brian.
He's booked us a tour of America.
The album's hit the charts in the U.S.!
Oh, yes!
Yes!
It's happening!
Now, who wants to take a ride?
We love you, Cleveland!
We love you, Houston!
We love you, Denver! Very happy to be here!
And are the crowds big?
Well, we're selling out every night.
I just wish you were here to see it.
They really love us.
We love you, Portland!
He's got a big ass, too!
We love you, New Orleans!
We love you, Atlanta!
Rog, come down here and say hello.
We love you, Pittsburgh!
- Roger! - Now, hit it!
I'm good. I just miss you.
What are you doing?
You can't possibly be having any fun without me.
Nothing as exciting as America.
Say hi to the boys for me.
I will. Love you.
Bye, Freddie. I love you.
Hello.
- You're late. - Am I?
We saved you a seat.
- Lovely. - Okay.
So, now that we're all here...
Jim, this is Ray Foster.
Ray, this is the band's lawyer, Jim Beach.
Hello.
You must stop calling him that.
That's his name.
No, we cannot keep calling him "Jim Beach."
No, that's absurd, not to mention, unspeakably boring.
Miami.
From now on, I dub thee "Miami Beach."
The sun always sets behind you, doesn't it?
On Miami Beach.
Hmm, right.
Now that everybody's got an acceptable name...
let's get to it. Look...
we just really need something special.
More hits...
like Killer Queen...
only bigger.
It's not bloody widgets we're making.
We can't just reproduce Killer Queen.
No.
We can do better.
It's opera.
- Opera! - Opera!
There seems to be an echo in here.
See, we don't want to repeat ourselves.
The same formula over and over.
Formulas are a complete and utter waste of time.
Formulas work.
Let's stick with the formulas.
I like formulas.
We'll call the album...
A Night at the Opera.
Are you aware that no one actually likes opera?
I like opera.
- Do you? - I do.
No, don't misunderstand, darling.
It's a rock and roll record...
with the scale of opera...
the pathos of Greek tragedy...
the wit of Shakespeare...
the unbridled joy of musical theater.
- It's a musical experience. - Yeah.
Rather than just another record.
Something for everyone...
something...
Hmm.
Something that will make people feel belongs to them.
We'll mix genres, we'll cross boundaries...
we'll speak in bloody tongues if we want to.
There's no musical ghetto that can contain us.
- That's it. - No one knows what Queen means
because it doesn't mean one thing.
What do you think, John?
I...
agree with the band.
Of course you do.
How about you, uh...
- Miami. - Hmm.
Fortune favors the bold.
Surely, a man of your...
unique taste...
isn't afraid of a little risk?
Please don't make me regret this.
You're fun.
Recording studio?
Well, the idea was to get away from all distractions.
Right, I know it's not the Ritz. Not even close.
- Roger, you're in here. - Right.
Freddie, this is you. Biggest room.
Brian, that's you.
John, you're downstairs.
And...
this is all yours, John.
Smaller rooms don't get nearly as cold.
Okay.
Hmm.
Oh, that's really good.
Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart
And now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me
Hmm.
It's beautiful.
What's it called?
Love of My Life. I wrote it for Mary.
If you say so.
Don't misunderstand, Paul.
Mary knows me in a way that no one else ever will.
I know you, Freddie Mercury.
Is that what you think?
Oh, no, you don't know me.
You just see what you want to see.
We work together. That's all.
I put my heart and soul into this song.
No one is disputing that.
And you don't like it
because you want your songs on the album!
- It's not that, Roger. - Then what is it?
I'm in Love with My Car.
Maybe it's not strong enough?
What does that even mean, "not strong enough"?
I know I'm late. What did I miss?
Discussing Roger's car song.
Is it strong enough? That's all I'm asking.
If I'm on my own here, then I apologize.
How does your new song go, then, hmm?
"You call me sweet..."
"like I'm some kind of cheese."
- It's good. - Wow.
"When my hand's on your grease gun..."
That's very subtle, isn't it?
It's a metaphor, Brian.
It's just a bit weird, Roger.
What exactly are you doing with that car?
Children, please.
We could all murder each other...
but then who would be left to record this album?
Statistically speaking, most bands don't fail,
they break up.
Why the hell would you say something like that?
Roger, there's only room in this band
for one hysterical queen.
You know why you're angry, Roger?
Why?
'Cause you know your song isn't strong enough.
Not... Is that strong enough?
What about that?
Not the coffee machine!
Goodbye, everybody
I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
What next?
That was pretty damn good.
Brilliant. I love that.
Press the button, Freddie.
I know, I know where it is.
I know where... Knock, knock.
Good.
It's good. Um...
You know, play it like you wrote it.
Well, I did. I wrote that part.
Taking the piss.
Okay. Are you happy?
I think it's beautiful.
It's almost perfect.
Almost?
Yes, give it more rock and roll.
I'm always up for that, Fred.
Put your body into it.
Right. Okay.
Put my body into it. I got it.
Not like that.
No, I got it. I got it. Bit more soul, yeah?
All right. Give it more heart.
I'll do that. We good to go?
Roy, you good?
Oh, and then there's the operatic section.
You're gonna love it.
The operatic section?
- I know, it sounds crazy. - I love it, Fred. I love it.
I don't know. It could be a flop.
- It could work. - I love it!
What have we got to lose?
Nothing.
If you say so.
Okay, let's go.
Deacy.
How was that?
Freddie? Higher.
Can you go a bit higher?
If I go any higher, only dogs will hear me.
Try.
Freddie's note. Sorry.
Go on, roll the tape.
Overdub 24 of "Fred's Thing."
How was that?
- Better? - Higher.
Jesus! How many more "Galileos" do you want?
Freddie wants to do a few more overdubs.
Do we even have any tape left?
I do have to say the tape is wearing out.
It can't take much more.
Yeah, we can't afford much more.
We're already three weeks over schedule.
Dub 26 of "Fred's Thing."
One more, one more.
One more.
Again.
Go on, roll the track.
Who even is Galileo?
My nuts feel like they're in my chest right now.
- Are we done? - That's it.
He loves you.
That's it.
It's beautiful! Love it!
Christ.
Well...
I'm not entirely sure...
that's the album you promised us.
No, it's better than the album we promised you.
It's better than any album
anyone's ever promised you, darling.
It's a bloody masterpiece.
- Christ. - It is a good album, Ray.
We prefer "masterpiece."
It's expensive, and as for...
"Bohemian..."
Rhapsody.
What is that?
- It's an epic poem. - It goes on forever.
Six bloody minutes.
I pity your wife if you think six minutes is forever.
And do you know what?
We're going to release it as our single.
Not possible. Anything over three minutes...
and the radio stations won't program it, period.
And what on earth is it about, anyway?
Scaramouche?
Galileo?
And all that "Ismillah" business!
"Ishmillah"?
Bismillah.
Oh, aye.
Bismillah.
What's it about, anyway? Bloody Bismillah?
True poetry is for the listener.
It ruins the mystery if everything's explained.
Seldom ruins sales.
Three minutes is the standard.
John.
Yeah, we need radio.
Format is three minutes, I have to agree with Ray.
I actually think the single's Love of My Life.
No.
Okay, how about John's song...
You're My Best Friend? You know?
"Ooh, you make me live."
Catchy, stronger.
What about I'm in Love with My Car?
You're joking! Oh, Jesus.
I love it.
Well, that's the kind of song...
teenagers can crank up the volume in their car...
and bang their heads to.
Bohemian Rhapsody will never be that song.
It's a band decision, Bohemian Rhapsody.
- That's it. - You're My Best Friend...
and it's my money.
Bo-Rap, period.
Or we walk.
MacArthur Park was seven minutes long.
It was a hit.
Look, I'm not arguing Bohemian whatever's...
- musicianship. - ...Rhapsody.
But there's no way in hell the station will play...
a 6-minute quasi-operatic dirge...
comprised of nonsense words!
Bismillah? Bullshit!
I paid for this record, so I say what goes!
Have we no legal recourse on this?
Ray...
you did Dark Side of the Moon, didn't you?
I did.
Yeah, I absolutely love that record.
Legally, no.
No, he's got all your balls in a vice.
It's a different matter in the court
of public opinion, of course.
Ray Foster's a giant name in the music industry, but...
to the average person...
Say the name Queen, on the other hand...
ears prick up.
We're going with You're My Best Friend.
- Done. - No.
We know what we have, even if you don't.
It's called Bohemian Rhapsody.
You will forever be known as the man who lost Queen.
Temperamental artists, eh?
They're well aware they're tied to a contract...
but who knows what goes on...
inside the inscrutable mind of the recording artist?
Mark these words.
If they're not careful...
by the end of the year...
no one will know the name Queen.
Christ!
You can take that out of our royalties!
Twat! Wanker!
You can shove your gold disks!
You made a mistake, Foster!
Arsehole!
You'll never have a gold disk...
you medium talent!
And to think I worked with Hendrix.
In the studio today...
...singer Frederick Mercury!
So what have you got today for us?
Have you got a little taste of the new record?
I'm really not supposed to.
Oh, forbidden fruit? Don't tempt me!
- "I'm in Love with My Car!" - Other side.
"Bohemian Rhapsody."
I didn't know Freddie knew Kenny so well.
The BBC won't play it.
Nor did I.
In fact, no one will play it on the radio...
so EMI won't release it.
What's wrong with this song?
Nothing's wrong with it at all.
Except that it's six minutes long.
Six minutes?
You'd have to be mad to play it.
Oh, you'd have to be bonkers.
- I positively forbid it. - Let's hear it.
Ladies and ladies...
a Capital Radio exclusive...
for the first time ever...
Bohemian Rhapsody!
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby
Can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out
Just gotta get right outta here
Yeah
How much do they love him?
Can't get enough.
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows
Tom, Jerry, can you hear me?
Freddie, when do I get to see you?
I'll be home soon, darling.
Will you put Romeo on the phone
so I can tell him I miss him?
Do you miss me?
What a stupid question.
Of course I do.
I love you.
Good night.
Morning, boss.
Clean this mess up and get rid of your friend.
Get dressed.
According to Brian...
it was the largest paying audience in history.
The whole night...
I didn't know if they understood a thing
I was saying.
And then...
Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart
And now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me
They're all singing.
Thousands of them.
All singing to you.
Because it's true.
Freddie, what's wrong?
Love of my life, don't leave me
You've stolen my love
And now desert me
Something's been wrong for a while now.
Say it.
I've been thinking about it a lot.
I think I'm bisexual.
Freddie, you're gay.
I've known for a while now.
I just didn't want to admit it.
It's funny, really. This is what I always settle for.
"I love you, but..."
"I love you, Mary, but I need space."
"I love you, Mary, but I've met someone else."
And now, "I love you, but I'm..."
And this is the hardest,
because it's not even your fault.
No, don't take it off.
Don't take it off.
You promised me you'd never take it off.
What do you want from me?
Almost everything.
I want you in my life.
Why?
We believe in each other.
And that's everything.
For us.
Your life is going to be very difficult.
What do you think?
Gay-er?
Not this, darling, the house.
Isn't it amazing?
Mary's already moved in next door,
so she can visit the cats and me.
Uh-huh.
Each cat will have his own room.
Delilah's by the kitchen...
Miko's next door.
Tiffany, Oscar, Romeo, all upstairs.
Lilly's room is even larger than this one! Spoilt thing.
Well, I'm not sure
the echo is quite pronounced enough.
Eh-oh!
Oh, I knew you'd appreciate it.
Stay for dinner.
Anything you fancy.
I can't. Wife, kids, you know.
Of course.
Well, come on. We'll eat off the floor.
It's clean enough.
Another time, Fred.
Hello? Mary.
- Hi. - Hello, my love.
Hi.
I need you to do something for me.
But you can't ask any questions.
Freddie, what are you doing this time?
No, I just told you... you can't ask any questions.
Right.
I want you to go to your bedroom window.
Look out of it.
- Do you see me? - Yes, I do see you.
Now, you do the same.
Oh...
Keep yours on.
Come have a drink.
- Now? - Right now.
It's late, Freddie.
Come on.
Please.
Do you have something to drink?
I suppose.
Go get it. Pour yourself something.
Pour yourself a drink, darling.
Do you have it?
Yes.
Cheers.
To you, my love.
To you, Freddie.
Good night.
Hello? Paul.
Freddie?
Sweetheart, I want to throw a party.
Okay. Who do you want to invite?
People.
I want you to shake the freak tree
and invite anyone who plops to the ground.
Dwarfs and giants...
magicians, Zulu tribesmen, contortionists...
fire eaters...
and priests.
We're going to need to confess.
Fill me up, will you, Trixie?
Marvelous, Fred! You've outdone yourself!
Thank you, John. I'm so glad you love it!
Mmm. They say money can't buy happiness, darlings!
But it does allow you to give it away!
I see you and Paul are getting along quite well.
He's Trixie now...
'cause he's always up to something.
So, tell me, Rog...
what's the sexiest part of a car?
Ah!
Well, well, well!
Ah, your majesty!
No, I'm not her majesty!
We're her majesty, darlings!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Thank you, my loves! Rog.
Where's Mary?
It's not exactly her scene, is it, Freddie?
Hmm.
Fabulous, isn't it?
If you say so.
Hmm.
You're starting to look like each other.
What's wrong with that, Brian?
You're supposed to be in a rock band, Freddie.
Not the Village People.
You might want to think about cutting your hair one day.
Never. I was born like this.
Come on!
- Let's dance! - Yes!
I don't dance, Freddie.
I need a few more of these for that.
It's my party, and I demand you dance!
We should go.
By royal decree!
We're gonna go, actually.
Oh, God! You're dull.
If you were any more dull, you'd be Deacy.
What are you complaining about?
You've got your little pet.
I have...
and he's loyal.
Loyalty's so important. Don't you think, Dominique?
Careful, Fred.
- Let's go. - Where you going?
Home.
Just a joke.
Freddie, sometimes you're a total prick.
- Good night. - Brian.
Forget them.
Come on! Your guests are waiting.
They all want a little Mercury in their cup.
Come on.
All right!
My darlings...
the time has finally come...
to get absolutely...
shit-faced!
Whoo!
Senor, where's my marching powder?
You've got a set of balls.
Go fetch me a drink and find out.
I may work for you tonight...
but put your hands on me again, and I'll thump you.
Got it?
I'm terribly sorry.
I didn't mean to offend you. I'm sorry.
I won't do that again, all right?
Let me get you a beer.
I wouldn't mind a beer.
Can you just tell me where we keep them?
You're very handsome.
I love a man in uniform.
So do I.
So, all your friends have left you alone.
They're not my friends.
Not really.
Just distraction.
From what?
The in-between moments, I suppose.
I find them intolerable.
All of the...
darkness you thought you left behind comes creeping back in.
I know what you mean.
Really?
What is it that you do with them?
Spend them with real friends.
You look like you could use a friend.
I like you.
I like you, too, Freddie.
Come and find me when you decide you like yourself.
Can I have your name at least?
It's Jim Hutton.
- Good night, Jim. - Good night, Freddie.
Or should I say good morning?
I want a new boat.
This one is for me. This one.
Didn't you say we were going to see him?
- I've got an hour left. - Wait. What about this one?
No, I think we'll still make that.
It's a good size.
Screw him.
Everyone up on the drum risers!
- Up on the drum risers. - Come on!
Thank you, Chrissie. Showing some enthusiasm.
- Wives and everyone, Brian? - Me?
Yes! Come on, John. Everyone.
- I'm not waiting any longer. - Let's go.
Get up.
- Bass? - No, you don't need it.
Get up.
- Come on, Rog, take your time. - All right.
What's this about?
You remember our last concert?
The crowd were singing our songs back to us.
I mean, it was deafening, but it was wonderful.
They're becoming a part of our show.
I want to encourage that, so...
I've got an idea to involve them a little bit more.
Let's start with this.
Stamp to this beat.
Genius.
Thank you, John.
Come on.
Good.
Now, I want you to clap on the third beat.
Don't speed up.
Rog, keep that time.
No Prenter?
It's unusual to see you without your clone.
It's unusual seeing you be so bitchy.
It's usually me.
Ah, you kept time, Rog. Good.
What's going on?
You'd know if you were on time.
I'm a performer, darling, not a Swiss train conductor.
Sorry I'm late.
Again.
All right.
Now, will you please tell me
why you're not playing any instruments?
I wanna give the audience a song that they can perform.
All right? Let them be part of the band.
So, what can they do?
Imagine...
thousands of people...
doing this in unison.
Huh?
Well?
What's the lyric?
Buddy, you're a boy Make a big noise
Playing in the street Gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on your face
You big disgrace
Kickin' your can all over the place
Singin'
- We will, we will rock you - We will, we will rock you
Buddy, you're a young man, hard man
Shouting in the street
Gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on your face
You big disgrace
Wavin' your banner all over the place
- We will, we will rock you - We will, we will rock you
Singin'
- We will, we will rock you - We will, we will rock you
Yeah!
Buddy, you're an old man, poor man
Pleading with your eyes
Gonna get you some peace someday
You got mud on your face Big disgrace
Somebody better put you Back into your place
Do it!
- We will, we will rock you - Rock you
Yeah!
All right! I feel like taking a bite out of the Big Apple!
Who wants to take a bite out of me?
All right, play with me now.
Eh-oh!
Never seen anyone interact with a crowd like that.
Bigger than any band, don't you think?
I mean, Queen...
how long can that last?
Did he say something to you?
Not explicitly.
But we've had some interest from CBS Records...
about a solo deal.
Well, that's a big number.
That's a Freddie-size number.
You should be the one to propose it.
Hi, guys. How's it going?
- Good. - Everything's great.
John, another drink?
Er, no, I'm fine.
Here's the Coke. Coming right up.
- Freddie. - Oh, there you are.
Oh, God! Freddie! Put me down!
You were brilliant.
Ah, that's only because I knew you were watching.
I've missed you.
We have so much to catch up on.
Oh, thank you.
This is my boyfriend, David.
David, this is Freddie.
Magnificent show.
Thank you.
It's so kind of you, I appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
Where's your ring?
I just didn't want to travel with something so valuable.
Freddie, there are some people here for you to see.
You promised you'd say hello.
- Oh, did I? - Mmm-hmm.
We should go.
Will I see you soon?
Yes, of course. Of course.
Mwah!
It's a pleasure to meet you, David.
And you.
And well done again.
And you.
Bye.
Thank you for coming such a long way.
Bye.
Then you've got the MTV interview...
and the plane to Houston for the special.
Back here on Friday.
Listen to me now.
Do you know who sold
4% of all the records purchased last year?
Worldwide?
Michael Jackson.
Not the Jackson 5.
Michael Jackson.
And I think you could do even better.
In fact, I've had an offer from CBS Records.
It's a lot of money for you, Fred,
and I think you should consider it.
Are you asking me to break up the band?
I'm just pointing out what awaits you if you go solo.
An end to your frustrations.
My frustrations?
Paul?
I don't know what you're talking about, John.
Perhaps I misunderstood.
Yes, sir.
Pull over.
Stop the car, pull over.
- Get out. Out now! - What the hell?
Get out of this car. You're fired.
What're you talking about, fired?
I said get out.
- Freddie, you are high! - I said get out!
What are you talking about?
Out! Out or I'll kill you!
Get out, you treacherous piss flap.
You're not thinking clearly.
Get your ass out of my car now.
Get out!
Out!
Get your ass out of my car! Get out!
You're firing the wrong snake, Freddie.
You'll regret it.
Get your ass out of here!
Drive!
Hey! What the hell? Move!
Hey, watch it! I'll run your ass over!
Move!
Did you know anything about this?
I warned him against it.
Pure greed.
Tried to break up my family.
We can manage the band.
We don't need him.
What do you know about what I need?
I know what it's like...
not to belong.
A queer Catholic boy from Belfast.
You know...
I think my father would rather see me dead...
than let me be who I am.
I'm gonna take care of you now, Freddie.
If you'll let me.
What are you reading?
Just the cricket.
We're a rock and roll band.
We don't do disco.
- It's not disco. - Then what is it?
It's Queen.
So sorry, my darlings!
Lost all track!
You fired Reid without consulting us!
You don't make decisions for the band.
Hey.
Well, I'm terribly sorry, dear.
It's done.
Besides...
Miami will manage us.
Won't you, darling?
Erm... I'll think about it.
No. Are you high again?
Well done, Columbo.
You need to slow down, Fred.
Oh, don't be such a bore. I'm here, aren't I?
Are you?
I don't care if you're shit-faced.
As long as you can sing.
No, John, I don't wanna play it.
Then I'm all for it.
What's that supposed to mean?
I'm tired of the bloody anthems.
I want the energy in the clubs.
The bodies,
- I want to make people move. - You mean disco?
Why not?
Do you mind pissing off? This is a band discussion.
Drum loops? Synthesizers?
- If you say so. - It's not us!
- Us? - It's not Queen!
Queen is whatever I say it is!
Well, you can play your own bloody drums, then.
Fred.
Okay, let's see how good a boxer you really are!
Roger, take it easy! Take it easy!
Take it easy.
All right, Muhammad Ali.
That's...
That's quite a cool riff, actually.
Hmm. You wrote that?
That's really good.
Yes, it will be...
if you all can just shut up and play.
- He started it. - Oh, shut up!
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound But the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready
Are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Okay, I'll do it.
To the sound of the beat
I'll do it.
Oh, just improvise. Just give it whatever you want.
I can do that.
Let's go!
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, hey Are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Rip
To the sound of the beat, yeah
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone And another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
- That's a good idea. - Hey
I'm gonna get you, too
And then you double it, on top.
How do you think I'm gonna get along
Without you when you're gone?
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat Look out!
Freddie!
Freddie! Freddie, as the leader of Queen...
do you feel responsible for the success of the band?
I'm not the leader of Queen, I'm only the lead singer.
Freddie! A question for Freddie.
Do you ever doubt your talent?
No, that's a stupid question.
- Take it easy, Fred. - What's next?
Freddie, uh, your teeth!
Why don't you get your teeth fixed?
I live in Britain. I don't want to stand out.
Next...
Why don't you have your manners fixed?
That's an asshole question to ask anybody.
That's an asshole question.
In your song Life Is Real,
what do you mean by the line...
"Love is a roulette wheel"?
Are you implying that the more partners you have...
the more chances you have of...
contracting something?
What?
I don't know, I haven't figured out love yet.
But it implies something else, Freddie.
That might be a better question for Rog.
Watch it.
Freddie, concerning your private life...
there's lots of pictures of you in the tabloids...
looking drunk or ill.
Which one is it, ill or drunk?
I had a cold last week, if anyone cares.
As much as we'd love to answer questions about colds...
I'd like to speak about the album.
If anyone's got any questions about the music?
Freddie! Freddie! Freddie!
Freddie! Freddie, your parents...
they're conservative Zoroastrians.
I wonder, what do they make of your public persona?
Is that music...
My parents died in a fiery wreck.
I happen to know that's not true, is it?
I just wanted to know whether they were proud of you.
Are your parents proud of you?
Is this what they hoped for?
I hope that they are.
I surely don't think so.
Anyone wanna talk about the album?
Freddie! Freddie! Freddie!
Could you answer my questions please?
This better be good.
Shut up!
Freddie, could you tell us about the rumors
concerning your sexuality?
What about the rumors
concerning your lack of sexuality?
I'm just a musical prostitute, my dear.
Can you answer the question?
What's your name, dear?
Shelley Stern.
- Shelley. - Yes.
That thing between your legs, does it bite?
Hah!
Could you answer the question, please?
We're here as a courtesy.
You know, there's four of us up here.
What are you afraid of, Freddie?
What do you want?
What is the truth?
Can you be honest for once?
Why are you lying about your parents, Freddie?
I'm not lying about anything. I just, I'm...
Your fans deserve to know the truth, Freddie.
Can you answer the question, please?
This is my business.
No, you're a public figure.
What are you afraid of, Freddie?
- Your parents? - Can you tell us
- about... - Your sexuality?
What? Why, why...
Can you just be honest?
Contracting something.
Your fans deserve to know the truth.
Our readers want to know.
What do your readers want to know? They want to know what?
But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without
Living without
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone
Hey
God knows
Got to make it on my own
So, baby, can't you see?
I've got to break free
Brilliant! Can I get up now?
What is happening?
No, you can't.
- I wanna be in it. - Get off me!
Freddie, you in there?
Freddie?
They're here.
We can't put this off any longer.
Freddie?
MTV banned our video.
The youth of America. We helped give birth to MTV.
It's America.
They're Puritans in public, perverts in private.
I'm never touring in the U.S. again.
And I'm the one being blamed for it.
Not you, dear...
whose idea, I believe, it was to dress up in drag.
And not you.
Not even you, who wrote the bloody thing.
No.
Crazy, cross-dressing Freddie.
Freddie the freak. Freddie the fag.
I'm tired of touring. Aren't you?
Album, tour, album, tour.
I want to do something different.
We're a band. That's what bands do.
Album, tour, album, tour.
Well, I need a break.
I'm sick of it.
What are you saying, Freddie?
I've signed a deal with CBS Records.
You've done what? Without telling us?
What kind of deal?
Look, I'm not saying we won't record or ever tour again.
Queen will go on.
But I need to do something different.
Do you know what I mean? I need to grow.
What's the song? "Fly away"?
"Spread my wings and fly away."
A solo album?
Two, actually.
- Back to back. - Another word out of you...
and I'll throw you out the bloody window.
But that's years, Freddie. I mean...
- that'll take years. - Ye of little faith.
I don't believe this.
How much?
What did they pay you?
I wanna know how much they paid you...
$4 million!
That's more than any Queen deal.
Look, the routine is killing us.
I mean, you must all want a break from all the arguments.
I mean, whose song gets on the album...
whose song's the single...
who wrote what...
who gets a bigger slice of the royalties...
what's on the B-side, all of it.
You must need a break.
Freddie, we're a family.
No, we're not!
We're not a family!
You've got families, children, wives.
What have I got?
You've got $4 million. Perhaps you can buy yourself a family.
I won't compromise my vision any longer.
Compromise?
Are you joking?
You were working at Heathrow before we gave you a chance.
And without me...
you'd be a dentist...
drumming 12/8-time blues at the weekend
at the Crown and Anchor.
And you.
Well, you would be Dr. Brian May...
author of a fascinating dissertation on the cosmos...
that no one ever reads.
And Deacy...
for the life of me...
nothing comes to mind.
I studied electrical engineering.
Does that meet your standard?
Perfect.
You just killed Queen.
Oh, give it a kiss one day. She might wake up.
You need us, Freddie.
More than you know.
I don't need anyone.
Hello?
Paul. Can I speak to Freddie?
Oh, Mary. No, he can't talk right now.
He's working day and night, constantly.
Will you make sure to tell him that I called?
Don't worry, he's in safe hands.
I will certainly tell him you called.
Cheers.
Freddie, it's really great.
It's shit!
Just leave it.
Yeah, hang on one second.
Give it more treble.
Where is he? Is he there? I wanna speak to him.
He is working himself to the bone.
I'm blue in the face trying to get him to take a break.
Paul, listen to me.
It's one performance for a good cause.
It's a televised concert for the famine in Ethiopia.
They're gonna have simultaneous performances
in Philadelphia and London.
There's gonna be a billion people watching.
Queen should be part of it.
He's just been really focused.
But I'll be sure to pass it on.
Sure you will.
Hi.
Come in, come in.
Why did you come all this way?
I just haven't heard from you in so long,
and I phoned and phoned, and then...
last night I just had this terrible dream
that something bad had happened.
No, no. I've been working, that's all.
Freddie, you're burning the candle at both ends.
Yes, but the glow is so divine.
Being human is a condition
that requires a little anesthesia.
- I miss you. - I miss you.
I miss you so much.
Listen, but I have to finish the second album.
I need you.
Stay. Stay here with me.
Just you and me.
I need the love of my life.
Freddie...
What about Queen?
Jim told me he's been trying
to contact you about Live Aid...
and you won't take his calls.
What is Live Aid?
You haven't heard?
Freddie, it's the biggest concert
there's ever been or ever will be.
It's for the famine in Africa.
Well, perhaps Paul thought it wasn't a good idea.
A distraction from my work.
That's what's important, that I finish this album.
Stay with me, darling, and I'll be all right.
Freddie, I can't stay with you.
Of course you can. I need you, Mary.
Freddie, I'm pregnant.
How could you?
How could I?
Freddie, this has nothing to do with you.
Come on. Let's get in.
I bought some nibbles.
Freddie.
Sorry we're late.
Mary.
What a pleasant surprise.
Hans. Everyone, come in.
Milan, make our guests comfortable.
I wish I knew you were coming to stay.
I'd have scrubbed the place.
Actually, I'm not staying.
Wait. Mary, wait. Don't go.
You told me you had a dream.
What was it?
I was trying to talk to you, but...
it was like talking to my father.
You needed to tell me something...
but you couldn't say it.
Because you had no voice.
Freddie, come and say hello to our new guests.
They're dying to meet you.
He'll be one second.
Mary!
I'm happy for you, Mary.
Truly, I am.
It's just...
I'm frightened.
Freddie, you don't need to be.
Because no matter what, you are loved.
By me, by Brian, Deacy, Roger...
your family.
It's enough.
And these people...
they don't care about you.
Paul doesn't care about you.
You don't belong here, Freddie.
Come home.
Home.
Freddie!
What are you doing? You'll catch your death.
Why didn't you tell me about Live Aid?
The Africa charity gig?
It'll be an embarrassment.
I didn't wanna waste your time.
You should have told me.
Of course I did.
You forgot.
You're always forgetting things.
Come in now and have a drink.
You're out.
What do you mean?
I want you out of my life.
'Cause I'm the only one left,
you're blaming me for everything?
I blame myself.
So I'm out?
Just like that?
After everything we've been through?
Just think of the photos I have.
I know who you are, Freddie Mercury.
You know when you know you've gone rotten?
Really rotten?
Fruit flies.
Dirty little fruit flies.
Coming to feast on what's left.
Well, there isn't much left for you to feast on anymore.
So, fly off.
Do what you like with your photographs and your stories.
But promise me one thing.
That I never see your face again.
Ever.
I didn't mean it.
I'm sorry! Freddie, come back!
I'll make it better.
But, Peter, you might be right.
I'm not even hurt
by the fact that he's let me go as a friend.
But you can only be there so much for a person.
And so, Mr. Prenter...
all these stories
about Freddie Mercury and his lovers...
that there were so many.
Yeah?
- Is it really true? - Yes, it is.
His lovers were countless.
Genuinely countless. Uh...
All these wild, drug-fueled parties...
where he'd find another lover every night...
and a routine he couldn't get out of.
So, you really did see behind the mask?
I knew Freddie when he did Bohemian Rhapsody.
And the Freddie we have now...
he doesn't have the same passion about music.
Hello?
Miami?
Freddie?
How are you?
There was this Africa concert...
that wants Queen to play.
Is that still...
You mean Live Aid?
They've announced all the bands, Freddie.
It's too late.
I need...
I need to reconnect with the mothership.
Freddie, they don't want anything to do with you.
They're still very upset.
Maybe if you ask them...
they would meet me.
Tell them I want to talk.
Just talk.
We're family.
You know, family...
have fights...
all the time.
I can call.
Thank you...
Jim.
As this friend, somebody who...
probably knows Freddie Mercury better than anybody else...
how would you describe him inside as a person?
For me, Freddie will always be...
this frightened little Pakkie boy...
who's afraid to be alone.
I hope he sees this
and realizes what he has lost in you.
I hope he does, too.
A close and important friend.
Where are they?
They're late.
Hi, guys.
Jim.
If anybody wants any tea, coffee...
bladed weapons...
just ask.
So...
who wants to go first?
I'll start.
I've been hideous.
I know that, and...
I deserve your fury.
I've been conceited...
selfish.
Well, an asshole, basically.
Strong beginning.
Look, I'm happy to strip off my shirt...
and flagellate myself before you.
Or rather, I could ask you a simple question.
I'm good with the flagellation.
What's it gonna take for you all to forgive me?
Is that what you want, Freddie?
I forgive you.
- Is that it? Can we go now? - No.
I went to Munich.
I hired a bunch of guys.
I told them exactly what I wanted them to do...
and the problem was...
they did it.
No pushback from Roger.
None of your rewrites.
None of his funny looks.
I need you.
And you need me.
Let's face it.
We're not bad for four aging queens.
So, um, go ahead.
Name your terms.
Could you give us a moment, please, Fred?
Why'd you do that?
I just felt like it.
They'll be all right. They just need a bit of time.
What if I don't have time?
What do you mean, Fred?
You can come back in now, if you'd like.
We decided...
What did we decide?
From now on...
every song, no matter who wrote it, music, lyrics...
it's by Queen.
Not one of us, just Queen.
All the money, all the credits,
split four ways evenly.
Done.
We have a problem with the people around you.
Paul is out. I fired him.
- On what pretext? - Villainy.
What else?
Bob Geldof.
I called to convince him to squeeze you guys
into the lineup for the Live Aid concert...
but he wants an answer now.
You have to make a decision.
Every ticket's already sold.
100,000 people at Wembley...
100,000 people at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia...
a global TV audience around the world of 150 countries...
13 satellites.
The Olympics only had three.
We haven't played together in years.
It's kinda suicide to play again...
for the first time in front of millions.
Try over 1.5 billion.
"Who are these four dinosaurs?"
"Where's Madonna?"
It's a 20-minute set. Everyone gets the same.
Jagger, Bowie...
Elton...
McCartney, The Who...
Led Zeppelin...
Phil Collins, REO Speedwagon...
Bob Dylan.
Certainly good company.
Anybody who is anybody is doing this concert.
Look.
All I know...
is that if we wake up the day after this concert...
and we didn't do our part...
we're going to regret it till the day we die.
Please.
Every day, in San Francisco,
two more men hear the grim news...
"You have AIDS, there's no cure."
Since doctors in France and America
isolated the virus in 1983...
research has proceeded at a frantic pace.
The method used by the virus
to destroy the body's immune system...
has been discovered...
but a cure still seems many years away.
A major breakthrough has been a new blood test...
that should ensure that in future...
nobody contracts AIDS from a blood transfusion.
But it's only just been approved for use.
What is this thing that builds our dreams
Yet slips away from us?
Who wants to live forever?
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one
Sweet moment set aside for us
Do you understand?
The way we go from here is that treatments are available.
They're not particularly effective, Freddie.
Eh-oh!
Eh-oh.
Yep.
Mmm-hmm.
- Let's call it. Yeah? - Yeah, yeah.
Sorry.
I sound like shit.
You all are lovely, you sound good.
Been a while.
My throat feels like a vulture's crotch.
We still got a week.
We'll get there.
Yeah, we're in a good place, Fred.
You just need a bit of rest, that's all.
Yeah.
Get a drink, Rog?
Yeah, there's a nice little pub
- down the road, actually. - Can I come?
We're just an exclusive...
No, of course not. Invite-only.
Yeah, that's kind of you.
Before you leave...
Could I have a second?
Yeah. What's up?
I've got it.
Got what?
AIDS.
I wanted you to hear it from me.
Fred, I'm so sorry.
Brian, stop.
Don't.
For right now...
it's between us.
All right? Just us.
So, please...
if any of you...
fuss about it or frown about it, or, worst of all...
if you bore me with your sympathy...
that's just seconds wasted.
Seconds that could be used making music...
which is all I want to do with the time I have left.
I don't have time to be their victim...
their AIDS poster boy, their cautionary tale.
No, I decide who I am.
I'm going to be what I was born to be.
A performer...
who gives the people what they want.
Touch of the heavens.
Freddie fucking Mercury.
You're a legend, Fred.
You're bloody right I am.
We're all legends.
But you're right, I am a legend.
Now, you give me a chance
to get my bitchy little vocal cords in order...
and we'll go and punch a hole
through the roof of that stadium.
Actually, Wembley doesn't have a roof.
- All right. - No, he's right. It doesn't.
Then we'll punch a hole in the sky.
Now, even though you're crying like three little girls...
I still love you.
- All right, enough of this. - All right.
- Drink? - Yes!
Or ten?
What are you looking at?
You think you could do better?
Everyone's a critic.
It's 12:00 noon in London.
7:00 a.m. in Philadelphia.
And around the world, it's time for Live Aid.
If you have credit cards...
you can phone up with the number you want to give.
But you can also pledge cash, and it's very important.
There is not enough money coming in...
and all these people are not playing
for the good of their health.
They're playing for the good of other people's health.
So get your money out now!
And phone up and give us the money.
You've got plenty of it, or if you got none of it...
get it to people who are dying of starvation.
We want to get a million pounds out of this country.
On the telephone, before 10:00 tonight.
Do you have any idea...
how many Jim Huttons there are in London?
Well, I didn't want to make it too easy for you.
How have you been, Freddie?
I've been a bit lost, to be honest.
You were right.
I could do with a friend.
Would you like to have tea with me?
Tea?
So, Jim, how do you know Freddie?
Do you work together?
Jim's my friend.
Wonderful to have friends.
Mithai. Jer made it herself.
Thank you.
- Freddie? - Your favorite, Freddie.
We have to go, Mum.
But you just got here, beta.
What do you mean, "go"?
We've gotta get to Wembley.
Would you believe it?
Jim's never been to a rock concert.
That's true.
Queen are playing at Live Aid.
We're all doing our bit
for the starving children in Africa...
and nobody's taking any money.
Good thoughts, good words, good deeds.
Just like you taught me, Papa.
Love you, beta.
Bye, Kash. Love you, too, Mama.
In fact...
I'll blow you a kiss
when I'm on stage.
Kashi...
put on the telly.
- Hello, Mary! - Hi, Brian!
We just came to wish you good luck.
Hello, my love.
Hi.
Mary, David...
this is Jim.
Jim...
Mary and David.
It's nice to meet you.
- Hi. - Hi.
I'll see you after.
I don't think you're gonna be able to see
anything from here. Join them.
What do we think of David?
Nice chap.
I think he's gay.
We'll be on in about one minute.
One, two. One, two.
That's almost us.
We ready?
Feel good?
So we have had
a bit of a complaint about the noise.
From a woman in Belgium.
Anyway...
it gives us enormous pleasure to introduce the next combo...
who are...
Queen!
Her Majesty...
- Queen! - Check, two, check.
Nothing.
Mama
Just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama
Life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on
As if nothing really matters
Too late
My time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody
I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old-time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio
Everybody!
All we hear is
Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is
Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is
Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio
Someone still loves you
Loves
You
Eh-oh!
- All right! - All right!
Hey! Hammer to Fall!
Here we stand or here we fall
History don't care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight
You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
Yeah! And it's time for the hammer to fall
Every night, every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face the Western way
Toe your line and play their game
Then it's time for the hammer to fall
Rich or poor or famous
Hello? Live Aid.
Hello? This is Live Aid.
Oh, no
Lock your door
Hello, Live Aid.
- We just hit a million! - One million pounds!
One million pounds!
Thanks. Great.
For you who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
Just wanna scream it louder And louder and louder
What the hell we fighting for?
And it's time for the hammer to
Hammer to fall
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
One more time!
Waiting for the hammer to fall
Give it to me one more time!
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions
Of the world
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge Before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions
Of the world
So long and goodbye!
We love you!
