UKRAINIAN RHAPSODY: QUEEN SCREENS ’08 SHOW FOR HUMANITARIAN RELIEF

YouTube will screen a special premiere of Queen and Paul Rodgers’ 2008 concert in Ukraine to raise funds for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees relief efforts.

Queen + Paul Rodgers: Live in Ukraine was originally called Life Must Go On; mounted in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, it was a benefit for the Elena Pinchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation. The classic-rock standard bearers performed 28 tracks, including “The Show Must Go On,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “I Want to Break Free,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “We Will Rock You,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “We Are the Champions” in Freedom Square to a crowd of more than 350k and a televised audience of 10m+.

The repurposed concert will screen on YouTube 3/19 at 10am PT/1pm PT. Donations can be made to UNHCR.
