  In September 2008, Queen + Paul Rodgers performed a live recording in Kharkiv, Ukraine, during a concert aimed at raising funds for the Elena Pinchuk AntiAids Foundation. At this time, Queen was navigating their post-Freddie Mercury era, having released "The Cosmos Rocks" in 2008, which was their first full studio album with Paul Rodgers as the lead vocalist. This live performance reflected the band's ongoing evolution, demonstrating their ability to adapt while keeping their legacy alive through new collaborations. An interesting aspect of this concert is its charitable foundation, showcasing Queen's commitment to social causes, which resonates with their history of philanthropy, particularly notable during their iconic Live Aid performance in 1985. Their willingness to support Ukraine during this turbulent time further underscored their role not just as musicians but as advocates for global issues.
