Freddie Mercury saw that Wayne’s World scene before he died | Films | Entertainment

Brian was sure that Freddie didn’t just enjoy the humour and the tribute, he also knew it was a kind of rebirth for the band in America.

He added: “(Freddie) had been known to say, ‘Look, you know, I suppose I have to die before we get America back.'”

Brian told the Wayne’s World team: “But you guys did it. You got us back to a new American public. And Freddie was very aware of that. You guys should know that. He went to the next place knowing what had happened and enjoying it…

“One, we found it hilarious and two, we found it rewarding. We released an album and that sketch, I think, was responsible for the album being such a big hit. I have to say we loved the movie, as well.”
