With just a couple of weeks to go before the opening of the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, some artists are paying tribute to Freddie Mercury, releasing cover versions of Queen songs.  Shawn Mendes and Teddy Geiger have shared their cover of the iconic Queen song ‘Under Pressure’. “I am so honored to be able to support the amazing legacy of Freddie and Queen by doing a cover of one of my favorite songs, ‘Under Pressure,'” Mendes said in a statement. “It was so exciting to me to be able to do this with my close collaborator and one of my best friends, Teddy Geiger, for a cause that is very close to our hearts.” A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Mercury Phoenix Trust, which was founded by Queen’s  Brian May and Roger Taylor, along with the group’s manager Jim Beach, after Mercury’s death to help fight AIDS around the world.  Bohemian Rhapsody hits theaters on November 2nd.
