Brian May has defended the artistic licence used in 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. In an interview with MOJO magazine, he said: "It's an attempt to portray Freddie Mercury as a human being. So an argument about whether he should have a moustache at a particular time is a waste of breath. However May has argued that he and Fox bosses "took liberties" in order to best tell the singer's story without adding "another hour of screen time". So we took liberties.
