The airport was remodeled to celebrate the birthday of the late rock star on September 5.

The British rock star earned his living working as a baggage handler at the London airport long before he garnered fame as the lead singer of the British rock band formed in 1970.

They then go on to perform some iconic moves wearing white colored clothes teamed with a neon yellow Mercury-inspired jacket. They also have a suitcase in their hands during the performance.

The Daily Mail reported that the changes made at the airport were also done to promote the soon-to-be-released movie “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

The movie is a biographical film about the British rock band and its rise to fame, focusing on the lead singer's life.

It was also reported that the band's memorabilia would be displayed at the airport next month.

The airport also announced that any traveler named Freddie, Frederick, or the icon's real name, Farrokh, departing from Terminal 5 could use the British Airways lounge along with their companions.
