This weekend only, our good friends at Queen are streaming the Freddie Mercury tribute concert for free on YouTube to raise money for the WHO’s work against the coronavirus pandemic.
Exactly 28 years ago today, Def Leppard joined Queen, Brian May, and many great musicians to honor Freddie Mercury at Wembley Stadium in 1992.

Joe’s personal highlight: “contributing backing vocals (along with Phil Collen) on “All The Young Dudes”. The remaining members of Queen, David Bowie, Ian Hunter & Mick Ronson all playing on the same song !!! outside of anything I’ve done with D.L., it’s absolutely my most favourite on stage musical moment EVER !!! ….. and for that & everything else you ever did, Freddie Mercury, I thank you !!”
