Queen performs at 2012 Olympics closing ceremony

Queen's performance at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London marked a notable event in the history of the Olympics and the band's legacy. The ceremony took place at London's Olympic Stadium and featured a unique opening that included a remastered video clip of Freddie Mercury performing his iconic call and response routine during a concert at Wembley Stadium in 1986. This nostalgic element set the tone for the performance, connecting the past with the present and celebrating the band's enduring influence on music and culture. Following the video, guitarist Brian May showcased his skills with a segment of the 'Brighton Rock' solo, which was a highlight for many fans. He was later joined by drummer Roger Taylor and solo artist Jessie J to perform the anthem 'We Will Rock You', a song that has become synonymous with sporting events and celebrations worldwide. The combination of these performances not only entertained the audience but also reinforced Queen's status as one of the most iconic rock bands in history.
