    As in the movie, Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara and remains the only known rock star of Parsidescent. As one character explains, Parsis trace their ancestry to members of the Zoroastrian religion who fled Persia to India to escape persecution more than a millennium ago. However, Mercury was actually born in what was then the British prote...

    Before flashing back to young Freddie, the movie opens with Mercury at home in 1985 preparing for Queen’s performance at Live Aid. At least six cats are shown having the run of Freddie’s lavish London townhouse, and at one point he mentions that each one has its own bedroom. He’s also shown asking for one to be put on the phone when he calls home f...

    After the flash forward to Live Aid, the movie shows Freddie starting to explore the London music scene as a fresh-faced 18-year-old, a ’70s androgyne in the Marc Bolan mode, given to long scarves and sparkly jackets. During this period, he meets sympathetic shop girl Mary Austin, and the two soon become lovers. They live together for six years unt...

    In the film version, the youthful Mercury is working as a baggage handler at Heathrow Airport while spending his evenings checking out London’s music scene. He is particularly taken with a band called Smile, and hanging out in an alley at one of their gigs, he overhears Tim Staffell, Smile’s lead singer, tell fellow band members Roger Taylor and Br...

    As far as the film is concerned, the villain of Mercury’s story is Paul Prenter (who died in 1991 so is no longer around to sue), who started as deputy to the band’s then-manager John Reid (Aidan Gillen) before taking over managing Mercury himself. The film shows Prenter betraying Reid by encouraging him to pitch Mercury on a solo deal with CBS Rec...

    It’s true that the band’s label, EMI, blushed at the idea of releasing the nearly six-minute “Bohemian Rhapsody” as a single and that they only gave the selection their blessing after the gay DJ Kenny Everett, a friend of Mercury’s, began to go rogue and play the suite on the radio. However, the character of Ray Foster seems to have been invented f...

    The film shows Mercury getting increasingly sickly in Munich. Returning to London in 1985, he receives his diagnosis and tells his bandmates the news shortly before the concert. They, along with Austin and Hutton, watch him give the performance of his life knowing there is a death sentence hanging over him. This is perhaps the movie’s biggest depar...

    In the movie version of events, Mercury, misled into a solo deal by the deceitful Prenter, quits the band to do his own thing, creating some acrimony. When Bob Geldof offers the Live Aid slot in spring 1985, Mercury wants to do it, but it will mean making up with his bandmates. He calls a meeting and after some groveling and mea culpas, they take h...

    In the film, Mercury first meets Hutton when the latter is a cater-waiter cleaning up the townhouse after one of the singer’s wild parties. The relationship doesn’t develop until 1985 just before Live Aid, when Mercury tracks Hutton down, having worked his way through the phone book. In fact, Mercury first approached Hutton, who was then a barber i...
