Bohemian Rhapsody will be arrive on DVD, Blu-ray and on 4K digital on March 4 via 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment – and to mark the home release, Queen have announced a global initiative to support the Mercury Phoenix Trust.

Queen want fans to recreate the ‘stomp, stomp, clap’ beat from We Will Rock You and share it on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #Stompforqueen. Text FREDDIE to 70085 to donate £3 to the trust.
