In an unexpected turn, lead singer Freddie Mercury, surrounded by darker influences, shuns the band in pursuit of a solo career. Suffering greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid. Facing a life-threatening illness, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music.
