Reconciling with the Band
In the film, when Freddie reconciles with the rest of the band before performing at Live Aid in 1985, John Deacon states that from that point on, all future credit for the songwriting will go to the band collectively instead of just one member.

But in reality, Queen’s 1986 album A Kind of Magic still had individual songwriting credits and only in the 1989 album The Miracle and 1991’s Innuendo that all songs were credited to the band as a whole. Another discrepancy in the film was how Paul Prenter wasn’t fired as Freddie’s manager until after the Live Aid concert, not like how it was shown as before in the film.
