Queen has released a live video of Crazy Little Thing Called Love recorded two weeks before Freddie Mercury's final concert with the band. The clip is taken from a 4K version of the 1987 concert film Queen Live In Budapest, restored from 35mm footage at Peter Jackson's Park Road Post Production facility.

Retitled Queen: Budapest, the film is showing in cinemas and will be released on October 30 as a double CD, DVD, Blu-ray, and triple vinyl. The performance was filmed at the Népstadion in Budapest in July 1986, marking the first stadium concert by a Western rock band behind the Iron Curtain.

The band played three concerts in France and Spain over the following two weeks. Roger Taylor stated that the Knebworth concert was their last show with Freddie Mercury. An interview with Brian May and Roger Taylor regarding Budapest and Knebworth is featured in the new issue of Classic Rock magazine.
