Queen and Paul Rodgers: Return of the Champions

See TV listings for this programme

Queen prove that they are still 'a kind of magic', as ex-Free singer Paul Rodgers 'rhapsodies' into the role of lead singer for the band's comeback world tour...

Director
David Mallet

Performers
Brian May
Roger Taylor
Paul Rodgers


Despite taking a break from the music industry after the death of flamboyant frontman Freddy Mercury, Queen returned in 2005 with a new vocalist taking the place of the seemingly irreplaceable Mercury. Ex-Free and Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers was assigned the daunting task of stepping into the irreplaceable and legendary Freddie Mercury's shoes alongside Brian May and Roger Taylor. The fans however quickly embraced him as the band performed a greatest hits tour, and buoyed by the success of the West End musical We Will Rock You, Queen's spectacular comeback saw them rise once again.

This spectacular show was recorded in Sheffield in front of a rapturous audience of 12,000, and includes all the Queen classics such as I Want it All, We Will Rock You, Under Pressure, Bohemian Rhapsody and We are the Champions as well as Rodger's classic anthem All Right Now.
