Queen's Freddie Mercury died in 1991, but in 2013 he can still get 60,000 people singing along to "Bohemian Rhapsody."
As fans waited for Green Day to take the stage at London's Emirates Stadium earlier this month, a video shot from the upper deck captures the crowd's enthusiastic sing-along of the 1975 hit.

"So you think you can stone me and spit in my eyeSo you think you can love me and leave me to dieOh baby -- can't do this to me babyJust gotta get out -- just gotta get right outta here"
Commenters on the YouTube page where the video is posted were caught up in the moment as well.
"This makes me cry and smile so big at the same time. I love rock fans. Long live Queen!" wrote highlyillogical.
"Humans are so cool," said becauseimabigdork.
