Jul 16, 2020 by apost team

Multi-talented musician P!nk is a well-known rock music fan, with her music often merging pop and rock genres. In what must be an ode to her love of the genre, the singer honored legendary rock band Queen and its frontman Freddie Mercury with a cover of their iconic song Bohemian Rhapsody, during the Sydney, Australia stop in her 2009 Funhouse tour.

From the moment the music starts and P!nk's backup singers begin singing, the crowd erupts in loud cheers. P!nk, who is a successful singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actress, did the song justice in her rendition. 

Starting off as a ballad, the song moves into a dramatic section in which P!nk, with her talented vocal skills, is able to hit all of the difficult high notes, while her stage presence would have made Freddie Mercury proud.

The latter hard rock section of the song then brings particularly high energy from all of the musicians on the stage, before a finale that brings the house down. Dressing up in a nod to the Queen frontman, P!nk wore a yellow jacket, sailor's hat, and a black-and-white leotard as references to some of Mercury's famous outfits. 

Bohemian Rhapsody is an absolute classic in the rock canon and needs no introduction. Written by Freddie Mercury over a period of years and released in 1975, the song was a success at the time it was released but has since grown in stature and is often considered by music critics to be one of the greatest rock songs of all time.

P!nk, who got her name from Quentin Tarantino's movie Reservoir Dogs, has been singing since she was 14 years old, and is no stranger to putting on exceptional performances.

Her live shows are known for having extravagant sets, while the singer often incorporates acrobatic theatrics into her concerts. However, despite the showmanship, the singer has won three Grammys, proving that her vocal talents are what's made her the successful pop star that she is.
