Troye Sivan released an intimate cover of "Somebody to Love" which originally appeared on Queen's 1976 album, A Day at the Races.
"I'm so beyond honored to have been asked to cover 'Somebody to Love' by Queen, a masterful song by the most legendary band," Sivan comments in a statement.
Sivan recorded the song to support the Mercury Phoenix Trust (MPT), set up in 1992 (the year following Mercury's death) to continue the fight against HIV/AIDs.
"Troye's version is a unique take on this Queen classic. It is both moving and totally original. Thank you from us all at the Mercury Phoenix Trust - fighting AIDS worldwide," said Queen's manager, Jim Beach, who co-founded MPT.
