Since 1992 the Mercury Phoenix Trust has been responsible for the donation of more than $15 million in the fight against AIDS making over 750 grants to charities worldwide.
In association with the Trust, the Freddie Mercury Photographic Exhibition opened at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 22nd November 1996 offering an insight into the life of a small boy who rose to rock glory and died before his time. Since then the exhibition has travelled the globe raising AIDS awareness.
In May 2002 the long awaited Queen and Ben Elton musical ‘We Will Rock You’ opened in London. The Trust has benefited from various nights at WWRY performances around the world.
