Queen Performed Free Concert in Hyde Park
Queen played a massive free concert in Hyde Park, which guitarist Brian May described as one of the most important shows of the band's career.
Queen performed a free concert in Hyde Park, drawing an estimated crowd between 200,000 and 350,000 fans. Guitarist Brian May noted that it felt like almost a million people were present at the event. May described doing the free concert like old times as a dream and stated that the band would not hold back on their performance despite the event being free of charge. He also considered the Hyde Park show to be one of the most important concerts in Queen's career.
It was estimated that up to 90 percent of the audience was unable to see the stage. During the performance, Freddie Mercury asked the crowd not to throw cans and similar objects. Furthermore, because the concert ran late, Queen was forced to remove some songs from their planned setlist.
Queen's album A Night At the Opera became their first UK number-one album, and Bohemian Rhapsody became their first UK number-one single. May stated that the group wanted to be adventurous again with A Night At the Opera.
