Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

The 'Galileo' section required over 180 vocal overdubs — Freddie, Brian, and Roger sang every line nine times for that massive choir effect.

Cultural

The documentary aired just three years before the biopic boom, making it a fascinating time capsule of how Queen controlled their own narrative before Hollywood got involved.
