Is it Queen or Led Zeppelin?

Rating: 2/10 (9 December 2018)

Great film! The Live Aid performance is carefully reproduced, it makes you feel really there! The problem is... the story around Live Aid is more Led Zeppelin's than Queen's. Queen was not disbanded in 1985, they were just finishing the year-long The Works Tour in which they played Bohemian Rhapsody and Radio Ga Ga back to back at the end of the main set list almost every night. Led Zeppelin were in fact separated since the dead of John Bonham and they did reunited for the Live Aid show, with Phil Collins on drums. And also... Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS in 1987, two years after Live Aid, so it is false that on that performance he or the band knew he was ill. So, is it OK to change the story that much to get a little more drama? I mean, imagine you make a film about The Beatles in which Lennon gets shot minutes after the 1969 rooftop concert, just to get tears from the audience.
