FAQs
Between 1975 and 1978, Reid took on an additional high-profile client, British rock band Queen. In the film Bohemian Rhapsody, Reid is fired for suggesting Freddie Mercury embark on a solo career. The real-life split was far more amicable.
As Elton John's lover in the early 1970s, John Reid was witness to the arrival of one of the world's greatest entertainers. As John's manager for 28 years, Reid was also present for John's personal life hitting deep lows, as his career continued to hit stratospheric heights.
Reid and John no longer speak. Reid continued in the music business until reportedly retiring in 1999, a year after divesting himself of an art collection allegedly worth £2 million. He was a judge on the Australian version of The X Factor in 2005 and has since lived a quiet life out of the public eye.
However, what's not so clear is whether we're hearing Rami or Freddie's vocals in the film. Rami himself has revealed that he is lip-syncing, but it's not just Freddie's voice that we hear. It is an amalgamation of a few voices, he told the Metro US.
Paul encourages Reid to persuade Freddie to go solo, but when the idea offends Freddie, Paul feigns ignorance and Freddie fires Reid without consulting the band, increasing their strain. Jim Miami Beach, the band's lawyer, takes over management.
