In May 2020, Queen announced that they would be premiering the concert on YouTube to raise money for the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. It was available for 48 hours. In April 2022, Queen streamed the concert again to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the concert as well as the Mercury Phoenix Trust. The song was later released on Bob Geldof's 1993 album 'The Happy Club', but Freddie wasn't credited as a writer. The set was released in Japan on 21 August 2013, as either a standard DVD, standard Blu-ray, or as boxed sets which add a T-shirt in various colours or sizes. The show marked bassist John Deacon's final full-length concert with Queen (save a short live appearance with Brian May, Roger Taylor and Elton John in 1997). The profits from the concert were used to launch the Mercury Phoenix Trust, an AIDS charity organization.
