On this edition of Queen The Greatest, the band invites viewers to enjoy the iconic classic via an exciting new 360 degree experience.
Whether using a smartphone, tablet, desktop or laptop computer or a VR headset, visitors can now explore a wide range of visuals to celebrate Queen's masterpiece - including an exclusively produced video and a wealth of rare photos.
The new 360 video is set in a white void reminiscent of the color of the cover “A Night At The Opera.” Inside it, viewers will be able to hear "Bohemian Rhapsody" accompanied by a brand new video celebrating 50 years of the iconic song with classic moving images of Queen performing it live. The new 360 experience also includes the song's original promotional video, on screen lyrics and the single covers from around the world.
To access the 360 degree experience using a laptop or desktop computer, viewers can hold their mouse down and drag the cursor around to look around the white space and see a little silhouetto of a man. On a smartphone, you can turn it sideways to see a landscape ratio filling the screen and then move your phone to look around. Alternatively, if you are using a VR headset or viewer, you just need to place your phone into the viewer to explore the world of "Bohemian Rhapsody."
As a result, the new 'Bohemian Rhapsody 360 Experience' invites viewers to open their eyes, look up to the skies and see...though if further help is needed in accessing it, an instructional video is available here.
Initially released as the lead single from Queen's fourth studio album, “A Night At The Opera,” "Bohemian Rhapsody" first reached No.1 in the UK on November 29, 1975, remaining atop the chart for an unprecedented nine consecutive weeks.
