QUEEN: FREDDIE MERCURY TRIBUTE CONCERT (1992) - COMPLETO

The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness, also known as the Concert for Life, was a benefit concert by British rock band Queen and a number of supporting artists. It took place on 20 April 1992, at Wembley Stadium in London, England.

The concert was a posthumous tribute to Queen's lead vocalist, Freddie Mercury, who had died of an AIDS-related illness on 24 November 1991. It was broadcast live worldwide, and watched by an estimated one billion people.

Proceeds from the concert totalled £20 million, and were used to launch the Mercury Phoenix Trust.

The show lasted four and a half hours, exceeding the planned runtime by one hour, and ending at 22:30 BST.[10] The event opened with a video message from the surviving members of Queen in tribute to Freddie Mercury.

The concert then commenced with short sets from artists that were influenced by Queen, including Metallica, Extreme, Def Leppard and Guns N' Roses. Between bands, video clips honoring Mercury were shown, along with prerecorded performances from U2 and Mango Groove. Elizabeth Taylor then gave an AIDS prevention speech, which was followed by a montage of Mercury's call and response interactions with his live audiences.

The second half of the concert featured the surviving Queen members playing with guest singers and guitarists, including Joe Elliott, Slash, Roger Daltrey, Tony Iommi, Zucchero Fornaciari, Gary Cherone, James Hetfield, Robert Plant, Paul Young, Mike Moran, Seal, Lisa Stansfield, David Bowie, Annie Lennox, Phil Collen, Ian Hunter, Mick Ronson, George Michael, Elton John, Axl Rose, John Jones and Liza Minnelli.
