The film makes its U.S. premiere Wednesday, April 20 @ 8:00PM ET\/PT on the 30th anniversary of the landmark concert. An extended cut of the special featuring additional footage will be available to stream on The CW App and cwtv.com the next day.<\/p>\n<p>FREDDIE MERCURY: THE FINAL ACT showcases the extraordinary final chapter of Freddie Mercury&#8217;s life and how, after his death from AIDS, Queen staged one of the biggest concerts in history &#8211; the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium &#8211; to celebrate his life and challenge the prejudices around HIV\/AIDS. Featuring new interviews with Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen, the documentary features extensive footage from the concert and behind-the-scenes rehearsals, including performances by Elton John, George Michael, David Bowie, Annie Lennox, and more. The film also hears directly from those who performed at the epic gig, including Roger Daltrey (The Who), Joe Elliott (Def Leppard), Lisa Stansfield, and Paul Young, as well as the concert&#8217;s promoter, Harvey Goldsmith.<\/p><div id=\"morty-251610745\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>For the first time, Freddie&#8217;s story is told alongside the experiences of those who tested positive for HIV and lost loved ones during the same period.
