Everything in [the movie] Bohemian Rhapsody happens less with the thrust of life than the rapid-fire recounting of a biographical history, sometimes rigorously in step with Wikipedia, sometimes taking shortcuts to avoid anything that strays outside a neatly contrived narrative.{{cite news}}: |archive-date= / |archive-url= timestamp mismatch; 2018-10-30 suggested (help)

Just curious why Paul Prenter isn't mentioned ANYWHERE within this article, even though he was Freddie's manager for nine years?
I just saw the Bohemian Rhapsody biopic again on Netflix, and he was a HUGE part of that story, so did that movie overstate his influence substantially?
level-5 vital article is rated GA-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
