Getting the Band Together
In Bohemian Rhapsody, a young Farrokh Bulsara (who would later change his name to Freddie Mercury) approaches guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor in a car park after a gig and impresses them with his vocal talents. In reality, the three were sharing an apartment when a vacancy arose in the band and Mercury was the natural choice to step in.
