When Jugs Jugueta surveyed the studio where Queen had recorded one of their albums, he had a certain look of awe on his face. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: how did get there?

The chance was supposed to have slipped from his hand when the schedule for the recording coincided with a trip of his to Dubai.

But after the stars aligned, he was standing there, a month earlier than what was initially proposed, about to shoot a music video to promote the biopic about Freddie Mercury, "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Talking with ABS-CBN's Europe News Bureau, the Pinoy singer recalled how he got to be part of the amazing campaign that gathered around 15 artists from all over the world to perform Queen songs.

"Nakakatuwa lang na ang daming talented people na nagsama-sama para dito sa magandang movie na ito," he said, adding that he felt so "humbled" and "blessed" after the experience.

The Itchyworms frontman shared that Queen has always been one of his greatest musical influences, and that he was pinching himself when he got to act like Mercury, donning an outfit inspired by the late British superstar, for the video.

"Everything happened for a reason, everything conspired. Ang galing lang talaga na natuloy ako dito," he said.

He described the movie as a must-watch for Pinoys, considering that there's no doubt in his mind that everyone knows the lyrics to classics such as "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions."

The biopic is a way for fans of those songs to get to discover more of the band who composed it, he said.
