Queen Manager's Freddie Mercury Movie Joke Taken Seriously
. (Classic Rock) Reports that Queen's Freddie Mercury biopic was back on track with Sacha Baron Cohen leading the production are the result of a joke, guitarist Brian May has reported.

"I'm afraid some folks might have taken it seriously." Read more here. Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
