I agree, they should either play or not play it.

Actually, on the first tour I realy hoped they would not play it. (And OF COURSE they did, and they will do it again in september!) But this time I feel I am actually looking forward to it.
I dunno. It just all feels a bit different now.

It would be a grave mistake for them to leave Bohemian Rhapsody out of the set list this upcoming tour. Many people expect it when they come to see them; could you imagine all the people who might be dissapointed? I don't care if they didn't show a video of Freddie singing it though. It might get old after a while.
if they play it, no more Freddie on screen please

Wish they play it as part of a meddley! No Freddie! (It was great, i cried, but it's enought)
If they want to play it, they'll play it. I imagine they'll want to play it, but I hope they'll do so without Freddie's video going, as that would really ruin the feeling of "this is what we're all about now" that I expect they'll be going for.
They may well let Paul do the entire song (although that would admittedly sound weird, I could see it working with his voice if reworked slightly), but I've always wondered what an Innuendo/BoRhap medley would sound like, with Innuendo being performed up until the end of the second verse, with everything from the flamenco guitars on being replaced by the operatic tape, rock section, and closing ballad of BoRhap.

yer the inuendo boh rhap meledy has crossed my mind a few times, its seems to fit....
id love to hear paul singing it, i think its right, i read an interview were he said he wanted to. befor the tour last time.
id love paul to come trough the floor playing bad co like last time and then do bohrhap with him on the piano? i think that would be nice.. because they would play the video of pauls carear then when he did boh rhap they would do the same for freddie.
i think that would be nice, because its still luking to the future and acknowlegein whats hapend with freedie, i duno i like it!
any opinions?

I know this is going to be regarded as blasphemy by some (most?) on this board:
Leave the Freddie tributes at home this time around. The last tour was about acknowledging the past and preparing for the future. Freddie was the king of Queen for two decades. It took them a third decade (and then some!) to figure out how to make the band work without him. They seem to have done so to their satisfaction, and now it's time to move on. That means no video retrospective of Freddie's career, no operatic section music video collage, no empty stool and dedication of LOML (since I can't imagine they'd leave LOML off of the setlist). The band said before the last tour even ended that if another one was to happen, it would be to support a new album and show the world what the band is about now, instead of remembering what they were about in the past. Making a big deal out of Freddie's absence seems to undermine that goal.
Adventure seeker, please don't take this the wrong way, but if I were Paul Rodgers and I were given the opportunity to sing BoRhap on tour, I would be insulted if there was a video of Freddie behind me as I was doing it. Here I am, trying to tackle the most difficult song in virtually any band's live repertoire, and you're taking all the attention away from my vocals by showing old home movies of the previous lead singer who's been dead for seventeen years? While I know that your heart was in the right place when you made the suggestion, that seems horribly disrespectful to Paul.

I agree with you Thunderbolt. Its time to leave the Freddie retrospective in the past and move on. I also think that it is time to remove the extra stool during LOML - maybe paul could do vocal duties on that one?
