    The band were literally waiting in the wings to come on, but when they heard what was happening, they just let it happen, all credit to them for that.

      To be fair, they always let the song play in full. They have a pre-show mix tape that plays in its entirety before the band comes out. Bohemian Rhapsody has been on that mix for decades. Blitzkrieg Bop too.

      Worth remembering this ISN'T a crowd that have come to see Queen. This is what all Brits can do. and no we couldn't sing the whole national anthem like this nor would we want to.

      That was the first time... (My daughter was there so she told me afterwards all about it) But at other concerts since then, the crowds have continued to sing Bohemian Rhapsody and bond as this crowd did. Whilst the events continue to occur, Freddie will live on...and I think he would've loved it. As Jess said, the technology we now have, and did even then, can be renewed, kept going and thus Freddie's spirit will never die. It gives a warm glow and a tear to the eye but that glow. It's indescribable!!❤🎵🖖

    Bohemian Rhapsody is almost an alternative National Anthem throughout the UK. Many "youngsters" who were not even born when Queen were performing can sing every line of the song flawlessly, and frequently do at many major events. All it essentially takes is for the music to start in the UK and you will often get one or two people, to a huge crowd at a concert or sporting venue singing the whole song with gusto and immense pride. Freddy is beloved, and Queen are a national treasure. You should look for other venues where the crowd sings along to Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm sure you will find quite a few :) Great reaction, and thank you!!

    I’ve seen another video of this from in the audience before too. Got to love every one singing this. I believe it’s now a tradition at their shows to play this song while the people are waiting for the band to come out and play. It’s just great!

    I saw Queen live in 1978 at Glasgow Apollo. Amazing. Seeing Freddie coming on stage on the shoulders of a huge body builder who was dressed as Superman is an image I'll never forget. And the huge gong at the back of the stage for the end of Bohrap and nothing else - priceless.

    In Britain we learn about Bohemian Rhapsody at a young age, everyone talks about it and it is ingrained in our culture. Freddie (real name Farrokh Bulsara born in Zanzibar, came to England met the rest of Queen whilst studying) and he included Ithe Islam word Bismillah, in the name of God in the lyrics) wrote a brilliant and legendary song. Outstanding musicianship by all of the band. Bohemian Rhapsody has been voted the greatest song of all time ❤

      Yes but I’m pretty sure he wasn’t the Queen front man from the start. Whoever it was moved on and Freddie was there to step in. I think the band doubted him at first.

    The fact that everyone singing and enjoying Freddie and Queens music was amazing. But, for Green Day to realise and engage their audience in another artists song before their set, was inspirational. Paying homage to an inspirational band like that just shows their integrity in the industry.

    I don't know if it happens anymore, but growing up singing was almost a daily occurrence in schools. My primary school had a morning assembly where we sung hymns and on Fridays a school vote on a selection of "age appropriate" modern songs to sing. I cannot hold a note to save my life to be clear, but I wonder if that's why us Brits are happy to sing songs during these sort of events. You see it on a more basic level in football chanting
