Proceeds from the song will support The Mercury Phoenix Trust, an organization fighting against HIV and AIDS. The charity was set up by Queen members Brian May, Roger Taylor, and manager Jim Beach in honor of frontman Freddie Mercury, who passed away in 1991 from complications associated with HIV/AIDS.
