The group wanted to release ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, written by Freddie, as a single but they were told that at 5 minutes and 55 seconds no radio station would play it and it would be a flop. Freddie Mercury gave a copy of the single to his friend, DJ Kenny Everett, telling him he was not to play it but Everett did play it and other radio stations followed suit.
