On April 20th, 1992 — Easter Monday — Wembley Stadium was filled not with quiet prayers but with roaring guitars and powerful voices. Over 70,000 fans gathered for The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness, a legendary event honoring Queen’s iconic frontman while supporting a vital cause. One of the night’s standout moments was Robert Plant, the legendary voice of Led Zeppelin, teaming up with Queen’s surviving members for an unforgettable performance of “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”
Plant’s raw, bluesy voice brought a new edge to Freddie’s playful 1979 rockabilly hit, turning it into a passionate and spirited tribute. His vocals soared alongside Brian May’s fiery guitar and Roger Taylor’s pounding drums, blending reverence with rebellion. Together, they brought Freddie’s spirit back to life, transforming Wembley into a cathedral of rock and remembrance.
Written by Mercury in just ten minutes while soaking in a bathtub, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” was a fun detour from Queen’s usual style, capturing the energy of 1950s rock ’n’ roll. That night, the song became much more — a symbol of love, freedom, and a tribute to a man who lived and performed with fearless passion.
The concert also launched The Mercury Phoenix Trust, an AIDS charity that has since helped thousands of projects around the world. With millions of views online, the spirit of that night and Freddie’s legacy continue to shine — bold, brilliant, and forever alive.
