We’ve all had “Bohemian Rhapsody” on repeat after Freddie Mercury biopic of the same name put it back on the map. Queen’s signature song finally reached a billion views on YouTube, and the band is celebrating this achievement in the best way possible.

After “Bohemian Rhapsody” reached this monumental number, Brian May and Roger Taylor released an official statement saying how honored they are and announced a special surprise.

“We want to thank you all and celebrate with our amazing fans all around the world by creating three new music videos to our songs, all featuring you! Whether you are a musician, singer, dancer, visual artist or you just want to have some fun,” said May and Taylor in a statement.
