In the annals of rock and roll history, there stands a band that has transcended the bounds of time and genre - Queen. "Story of Queen: Mercury Rising" is a riveting exploration into the journey of this iconic group, whose legacy remains indomitable even 20 years post the demise of their charismatic frontman, Freddie Mercury. Since its inception in 1971, Queen's star has shone brightly, with their record-breaking tours, chart-dominating albums, and enduring global popularity. The band's discography, boasting over 300 million sales worldwide, is as diverse as it is successful, with their theatrical stage show enchanting audiences in nearly 20 cities across the globe. While their first two albums, 'Queen' (1973) and 'Queen II' (1974), paved their path to fame in the UK, it was the release of 'Sheer Heart Attack' (1974) and 'A Night at the Opera' (1975) that catapulted them to international stardom. The latter, featuring the timeless masterpiece, 'Bohemian Rhapsody', solidified their status in the rock pantheon. By the late 70's, Queen had gifted the world with anthems like 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are the Champions', further cementing their legend. However, the journey was not without its heartbreak, as the film poignantly captures the tragic end of Freddie Mercury in 1991. "Story of Queen: Mercury Rising" weaves this tale through a tapestry of classic archive footage, enthralling interviews with the likes of Brian May and Paul Gambaccini, and of course, a symphony of their greatest hits.
