FREDDIE MERCURY TRIBUTE CONCERT

The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness was an open-air concert held on Easter Monday, 20 April 1992 at London's Wembley Stadium, televised live worldwide to an estimated audience of 1.2 billion viewers.

The concert was a tribute to the life of the late Queen frontman, Freddie Mercury, with all proceeds going to AIDS research.

The show marked bassist John Deacon's final concert with Queen (save one live appearance with Brian May, Roger Taylor and Elton John in 1997). The profits from the concert were used to launch The Mercury Phoenix Trust AIDS charity organisation.
