[Spoken Word: Brian May]
I tell ya, this is a night we're never going to forget
[Audience Applause]

[Acoustic Guitar Intro]

[Verse 1: Freddie Mercury]
Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart, and now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see?

[Chorus: Freddie Mercury & Audience]
Bring it back, bring it back, don't take it away from me, because
You don't know what it means to me

[Applause break]

[Verse 2: Freddie Mercury]
Love of my life, don't leave me
You've stolen my love, you now desert me
Love of my life can't you see?

[Chorus: Freddie Mercury & Audience]
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me, because
You don't know what it means to me

[Bridge: Freddie Mercury & Audience]
You will remember, when this is blown over
And everything's all by the way
When I grow older, I will be there at your side, to remind you
How I still love you (I still love you)
You
I still love you

[Audience Cheering]

[Spoken Word: Freddie Mercury]
We're now done with the difficult bit

Formed in 1970, Queen was a British rock band whose classic line-up consisted of Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and piano, Brian May on lead guitar, Roger Taylor on drums, and John Deacon on bass. Although Mercury and May wrote the bulk of the band’s material, all four contributed to the songwriting, churning out huge hits. Initially a progressive rock band with strong metal influences, their sound evolved dramatically over time. The band went on to refine, if not define “stadium rock,” as they grew to become one of the most beloved rock bands of all time.

Their early progressive phase spawned epic tracks like “March of the Black Queen” and one international hit “Killer Queen.” But it was their 1975 track “Bohemian Rhapsody” which catapulted the group to super-stardom. The song reigned at #1 on the UK charts for nine weeks and has since been praised as one of the greatest songs of all time

Moving away from their album-orientated sound, the band only grew in popularity with such songs as November 1976’s “Somebody to Love,” October 1977’s “We Are the Champions,” January 1979’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” June 1980’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” January 1984’s “Radio Ga Ga,” and many more. These songs are so beloved that a musical based on the band’s discography, titled We Will Rock You, became one of West-End’s longest-running shows with a 12-year run through May 2014—and more events being featured internationally, as well.
