You gotta respect Rick’s performance here. This is the year after his breakthrough I believe. And then he just have to walk out on not only a huge stage with big audience but also a band which is some of the biggest legends in music and who was many years of experience.

[@Sean-me4fv]

Back when pop and rock stars could play together on one stage.

[@frk75]

because pop stars were raw talent back then, didnt need autotune shit, so they would be allowed to have such rock legends as a back up band for a charity event

[@meineomafahrtimhuhnerstall1064]

[@Robin270]

Oh my goodness, I'm shocked, I did not expect Brian to pop up when I was about to rickroll myself 😂😂😂 I'm a huge Queen lover and this is one of the few songs from a different artist I kinda like, but Brian is always everywhere 🤪😁

[@vijanrama]

Finally - real brass, drums, guitars and bass the song deserves... Too bad no live strings.... Plus with Rick’s live vocals which sounds very country like Elvis... Rick has left the building...

[@nickmesogianes4638]

This is by far my favorite live rendition of the song. Its filled with so much soul plus we have Brain May AND phil collins apart of the rick roll

[@billmulvey1465]

Thanks so much for sharing this!! I did very detailed research on this & came up with the following for every musician onstage here (yes, I had too much time on my hands!!): Rick Astley - vox Midge Ure All Star Band (Prince's Trust All Star Band)- Howard Jones - keys Brian May - lead guitar Midge Ure - rhythm guitar, md Mick Karn - bass Phil Collins - drums Mark "the Octopus" Brzezicki - drums Gillian O'Donovan - b.vox Suzie O'List - b.vox Gary Barnacle - tenor saxophone Barry Gardner - flugelhorn John Thirkell - trumpet Luke Tunney - trumpet Pete Thoms - trombone

[@deshaunx776]

I finally figured his voice out. He sounds just like this today. I’m thinking the producers on that album made him add more weight to his voice to give him a distinctive sound. It wasn’t natural for him, which is why he would lip-sync so much back then. This video shows his natural voice, which he uses today.
