The radio DJ who played Bohemian Rhapsody "for the first time ever" on his radio show is Kenny Everett (portrayed by Dickie Beau in the movie). Upon playing it, reportedly without the consent of the radio station, he instantly believed that it would become a massive hit, and began incessantly hyping it up and putting it on a heavy rotation on his show, thus playing a substantial role in popularizing the song, which was not considered radio-friendly at the time. One of Freddie Mercury's closest friends, Everett would spend his time enjoying London's night life together and sharing drugs with him throughout the 1970s. They had a falling out by 1985 over drug sharing issue and other personal problems, but reconciled later in 1989 when their health began to deteriorate due to AIDS (Everett tested positive for HIV in 1987). Everett died in 1995 from AIDS-related complications.
