Well, you’re wrong. Rami actually did some for the singing. In post they synced his singing voice with Freddie’s.

MrSurfer432 very true. I think they meant he didn’t go to a studio to record, but he did sing live. It was just edited out later. C8

[@angelicone181]

@@MrSurfer432 nope not true, when not taken from the actual album tracks, most of the singing in Bohemian Rhapsody relies on isolated master tracks of Mercury's voice from his studio recordings, mashed together with Canadian Christian rock singer Marc Martel, whose ability to copy Mercury's voice is so uncanny you really just have to hear it for yourself.

Looks like this film, its approach to Sir Elton's classic music and story telling meets actual events, will be so great!

He’s so well spoken.

That's because the Welsh speak better and more articulate English than most people in England.

I love this Film so much. I realy realy realy love Taron Egerton. His voice and his way to sing the Songs is kind of brillant ❤ I cried so bad, when his young self asked his adult seid "when are you going to hug me?" 😭 It's just a great, brilliant Film 🤩😍❤

My all time favorite scene in Rocketman was when Elton John realized that his life was out of control, and he decided to go to rehab. My second all time favorite scene is when his younger self and his adult self embraced each other signifying that he is now in sync and content within himself

He is so underrated but sooooo talented as an actor and a singer and he is so genuine
