About this product
The story includes Live Aid in 1985, the use of We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions at sporting events, and the renewed visibility of Bohemian Rhapsody through Wayne’s World. Greatest Hits, released in 1981, also forms part of the story.
The book also discusses the band’s legacy after the death of its singer, songwriter and producer, and its continuation around two founding members and a new singer. The 2018 film Bohemian Rhapsody, its success and awards despite criticism, form part of this context.
