Legendary Queen frontman Freddie Mercury died on November 24, 1991 from an AIDS-related illness. The following February, two of Mercury's bandmates, Brian May (guitar) and Roger Taylor (drums), announced plans for a tribute concert at Wembley Stadium in London.
All 72,000 tickets were sold in four hours before a lineup had been announced. Broadcast live in 76 countries, a concert that featured acts such as U2, Metallica, David Bowie, Elton John, and a slew of others, came to fruition on April 20, 1992 (Easter Monday). Here's one of the better performances. Enjoy.
