queen appreciation meme: [½] concerts ↳ Live Aid — 13 July 1985
Queen’s twenty-one minute performance was voted the greatest live performance in the history of rock. Freddie Mercury’s sustained note, “Aaaay-Oh!” during the a capella section came to be known as “The Note Heard Round The World.”
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.
“Mercury died on the evening of 24 November 1991 at the age of 45, at his home in Kensington. The official cause of death was bronchial pneumonia resulting from AIDS.”
