Legendary band Queen will live-stream its 1992 tribute concert to Freddie Mercury on YouTube on 15 May to help the World Health Organisation (WHO) get funds for its COVID-19 relief efforts.
Every dollar donated by viewers of the life-stream concert will be matched with $2 donated by Google and will benefit the World Health Organisation.
Queen guitarist Brian May has repeatedly expressed support for the NHS workers, who are working on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness” was held at Wembley Arena in London on 20 April 1992 with some 72,000 people attending the event.
The concert featured performances of such musicians as David Bowie, George Michael, Axl Rose, Liza Minnelli, Metallica, etc. and helped raise funds to launch The Mercury Phoenix Trust.
