Freddie Mercury Predicted Queen Comeback

Although "Wayne’s World" came out in 1992 after Freddie Mercury’s death, the British Queen singer saw the famous car headbanging scene before he died on November 24, 1991. The scene used "Bohemian Rhapsody," and Mercury loved how the film turned the song into a wild comedy moment. He also predicted that the scene would help spark a Queen comeback in the United States. After the movie’s release, "Bohemian Rhapsody" returned to American pop culture in a major way.
