It takes some guts to stand on a stage in front of rock titans Queen and play their most iconic song at them, doesn’t it?

Well, this is exactly what Swedish metal behemoths Ghost have just gone and done!

At a star-studded celebration bash for the Polar Music Prize, Ghost were the stars of the night’s entertainment. The band bolstered their ranks with a hull choir and none other than guitarguitar’s friend Fredrik Åkesson from Opeth on lead guitar! This is a version of Bohemian Rhapsody that you have not seen before!

We think they pulled it off magnificently, and it’s hardly a song lacking in ambition! Check it out for yourself below, as if you need any further encouragement…
