Despite mixed reviews, it has already become the second highest-grossing biopic of all time, ahead of the Johnny Cash story I Walk the Line and just behind Straight Outta Compton, about the seminal rap group N.W.A.Įldredge has a handful of dates on his calendar, including a pair of holiday-themed shows at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, where he’ll reprise songs from his Christmas album Glow.

Brett Eldredge has released his version of Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” which arrives in the midst of widespread discussion about the band thanks to the biographical film Bohemian Rhapsody.
