Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ movie will be released digitally on January 22 and on DVD and Blu-Ray on February 12 and will include the complete recreation of the Live Aid performance, only seen in part in the movie.
Bohemian Rhapsody was the 13th biggest movie of 2018 in the USA according to Box Office revenue.
While the movie is totally inaccurate in its telling of the Queen story, which in itself is amazing considering Brian May and Roger Taylor were executive producers, it does give an incredible overview of the legacy of Queen.
The movie makes out that Queen reformed for Live Aid which is totally untrue. They had been on a world tour for a year prior to Live Aid and were in peak shape for the performance. They even toured Australia a few months before Live Aid.
