NOTE: Today is the 25th anniversary of Freddie Mercury's death.
The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness was a concert
held on Easter Monday, 20 April 1992 at Wembley Stadium in London, England for
an audience of 72,000.
The concert opened with a message from the three remaining members of
Queen in tribute to Mercury. The music then commenced with short sets from
bands that were influenced by the music of Queen, including Metallica, Extreme
(playing a Queen medley), Def Leppard (who brought Brian May onstage for a
version of "Now I'm Here"), and Guns N' Roses. Between bands, several
video clips honouring Freddie Mercury were shown while roadies changed the
stage for the following act's performance.
The second half of the concert featured the three remaining Queen
members – John Deacon (on bass), Brian May (on guitar) and Roger Taylor (on
drums) – along with guest singers and guitarists, including Elton John, Roger
Daltrey (of The Who), Tony Iommi (of Black Sabbath), David Bowie, Mick Ronson
(of Spiders from Mars), James Hetfield (of Metallica), George Michael, Seal,
Paul Young, Annie Lennox, Lisa Stansfield, Robert Plant (of Led Zeppelin), Joe
Elliott and Phil Collen (of Def Leppard), Axl Rose and Slash (of Guns N'
Roses), Liza Minnelli, and others. This was the second high-profile project
with both Elton John and George Michael in as many years; the year before, they
did a live reworking of John's song "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on
Me". Via satellite from Sacramento, California, U2 dedicated a live
performance of "Until the End of the World" to Mercury. (from
