Sky Arte dedicates evening to Freddie Mercury and Queen with documentaries
On Friday, January 25, Sky Arte will air two documentaries about Freddie Mercury and Queen. 'Freddie Mercury ‒ The Great Pretender', directed and produced by Rhys Thomas, uses the band's private archive to show rare footage from 1976, interviews, concerts, and solo projects, with collaboration from Brian May, Roger Taylor, and manager Jim Beach. The film portrays a complementary side of Mercury beyond his stage persona. 'Queen – Rock Montreal live' features the band's full 1981 concert in Montreal, Canada, including hits like 'We Will Rock You', 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love', and 'We Are The Champions'. Sky Arte's site is powered by Artribune, which manages its content and digital interface.
