Queen + Paul Rodgers - Bohemian Rhapsody live in Japan 2005

Taken from the DVD "Super Live In Japan" (2006)

Fun fact: Freddie was a Paul Rodgers fan.

[@tieukhavu8832]

Then they did the right thing (To replace Freddie with Paul, Whether for a short time).

@DEVIL KING No, it's not. Freddie was a big fan of Paul as was Paul of Freddies. I had a long chat with Paul and his wife about this.

Two legendary rock singers. The respect that Paul shows for Freddie by simply stepping aside at the begining is very telling.

[@PatriciaWalton]

Paul did Freddie some justice with this song I must say. The fan's got to hear Freddie, and Paul never once stepped on Freddie but merely highlighted the talent most would never experience in their life time again! Love this version!

[@chetlake3204]

FINALLY, SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME!!! Sorry for the All-Caps but I have been saying this for years and no one seemed to agree with me. Queen fans don't even seem to care that Paul was man Freddie said he would love to stand-in for him. Freddie was a huge Paul Rodgers fan and said he had one of the most distinctive voices of all time. Freddie and Paul were friends. Most Queen fans do not know that.

No one in the world said that! The only thing you've come close to being right about is that Freddie Mercury wanted 'the show to go on'.. and Paul Rodgers was his friend and his choice to be the front man. Brian and Roger spent years trying to get Paul Rodgers to lead.
