Bohemian Rhapsody was one of the most talked about films in December. For everyone that loved it, 20TH Century Fox has some good news this New Year.

The upcoming Blu-Ray release of the biopic will feature an extended version of the Live Aid Performance, giving fans a chance to re-watch star Rami Malek relive the rock star for an even longer amount of time.

In case you haven’t watched it, Bohemian Rhapsody is the title of English rock band Queen’s biopic. It stars Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury and mainly revolves around the rise of the famous rock group. The Live Aid performance was the last show Queen held. It was aimed at raising funds for an Ethiopian famine and was held in July 1985.

The event was star studded, featuring artists like David Bowie, Elton John, Paul McCarthy, Mick Jagger, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and The Who. The event was placed in the biopic as the last performance in part due to its historic significance in the rock scene.

Early this week, 20th Century Fox released news that the Blu-Ray release of the film will include the full Live Aid performance. It will be 22-minute long and will feature additional songs like “We Will Rock You” and “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”

Considering Bohemian Rhapsody was one of the best grossing films of the last month, its Blu-Ray release will probably have the same impact.
