This song was recorded when Freddie was so sick that he often couldn't stand, he would lean onto the mixing board and sing from there. This video is a mashup of several other videos, kind of in the spirit of the show must go on so you do what you can do to make it happen and also sort of as a recap as the band knew Freddie was running out of time. Freddie would come into the studio and beg his mates for things to sing saying they could do whatever they wanted to with it later. Brian wrote this excellent song, loosely about Freddie, saying that in his head he was envisioning a sad clown who paints on a smile to come out to entertain his audience. Freddie did not complain about his situation, he just kept pressing on, doing those things that he enjoyed until the end. Brian and Roger still perform as Queen+Adam Lambert. They will be touring the US starting in October of this year but I believe the tickets sold out within 2 days. Roger will be 74 this year and Brian 76 so the fact that they are still touring at all says a lot about their commitment to music and their fans. Their shows are more spectacular than ever and Adam does a great job on all the songs, able to perform them in the keys in which they were written. He doesn't try to imitate Freddie or take Freddie's place, he understands that nobody will ever be able to do that, he just is the frontman for the band. John Deacon retired from music a few years after Freddie's death. Thank you for your reaction.
Freddie passed Nov 1991. This song came out shortly before. As sick as he was he still has that amazing voice.
The greatest group on Earth and Freddie Mercury was an absolute genius as are all the band members who played live
💯 Agree Marion 😊
This is amasterpiece crazy vocals by freddie that was dying when he recorded this one unreal how can anyone can produce such genius vocals unique talent no one can do such a greatness no one can,be even similar to him legend in every way
Not only great performers but their work holds up amazingly well. Freddie was the master!
If you think what they showed was a big crowd, take this in"
The Queen concert at Rock in Rio was one of the most iconic performances in the history of the band. It was also one of the most attended concerts ever, with an estimated 1.5 million people in attendance.
He recorded this song not too long before he died. From the vocals, however, you would never know how sick he was.
It is an almost impossible task to name my three favourite Queen songs, depending on how I am feeling at any given moment I might be able to name twenty or thirty favourites. Right now, I would recommend A winter's Tale ( this was the last complete song that Freddie recorded weeks before he left us) The Miracle for it's sheer positivity and now I'm stumped for a third - I want it all, Innuendo, White Queen, The March of the Black Queen - any of those and more. Freddie was determined to keep singing until the very end and whilst his body began to show the ravages of his disease, his voice never lost any of its power, and he never succumbed to self pity or anger. I can only hope that if I was ever in the same position as Freddie, I could face my demise with the grace that Freddie showed
👏👏👏 Freddie was very sick at recording this song, but he didn't stop and singing and making music kept him alive a little longer. He gave up the fight against the illness when he couldn't sing anymore, after Mother Love which he left unfinished. Freddie was a musician and performer from top to toe. He received the diagnosis in 87, but he was able to make 4 more albums with this death sentence in his hands.
This song is one of my favourites, keeps me going day by day.
He was very sick and was in a wheelchair in the studio he didn't think he could hit those notes he took a shot of vodka and said let's do this he did it in 1 take . He was supposed to do another song but he could only do half which was finished by the rest of queen
Freddie Mercury was such a brave man,keep smiling and singing till the end😢
😮
😢
Live aid. Definitely worth a watch.
Queen was so amazing and I believe this is when Freddie was quite sick.
Oh that makes sense!!
Wow 🥰 beautiful sweet Freddie ❤️ knowing this was at the end of dear Freddie's life, this song always makes me cry 😭
Queen are still performing and the lead singer is Adam Lambert ( not a patch on Freddie ) this video is clips from lots of Queens videos edited together and their best performance was Queen at live aid concert.
Freddy dressed as a woman at the beginning is from the "I want to break free" videoclip, which is also a great song by Queen.
Queen still performs, it took a while to get the right man in freddie's place, but now they have Adam Lambert (from amercan idol 2008?) who does a great job performing the queen songs.
I can’t tell you how many covers there are of singers attempting th vocal mastery of this song.. talent competitions for sure! Even Celine Dion has covered this song! Anyway, Freddie’s vocals are unmatched with the writing skills of Brian & contributions by Freddie!! Btw - I’ve always wondered why there is a jar of mayonnaise positioned behind you! Is there a story?
One of my favorite song is a Liar from the debut Queen album, especially live version from The Queen Live at the Rainbow 1974 concert
LOVED your reaction, Hon, THANK YOU!
SUGGESTION:
"THE GREAT PRETENDER" from Freddie's solo material.
Since you mentioned how much editing work must've gone into this video that you just reacted to... The video for "The Great Pretender" is GENIUS: They actually re-created scenes from many many many previous music videos. (And, I've often wondered how LONG it must've taken to do, and how MUCH it must've cost!!)
The Greatest Band this universe will EVER have .
Facts
Michael , thank you for your reaction to one of the greatest rock bands ever. Freddie was very ill from Aids when this came out in 1991 if I remember correctly and he passed not long after. I know that you are an Angelina Jordan fan and she did a very touching version of this song as a Tribute to Freddie Mercury when she was 13 . I recommend you checking out her version . Freddie would have loved it .
Reaction brilliant as usual. One Vision Wembley 1986 next please. Freddie Mercury past away in 1991 r.i.p
Watch Freddy work the crowd in Live 8. He was a showman with phenomenal pipes and Brian May is a guitar god and an actual astrophysicist.
⬆️Typo - performance is LIVE AID, a charity benefit for African Hunger/Starvation organized by Bob Geldoff. Major bands/singers of that time performed in 2 stages: Wembley in England and another in United States. ALL had an absolute time limit of 20 minutes, and it was broadcast globally to I believe a billion people. Queen, mainly Freddie, stole the show. Queen’s performance that day is still regarded as the greatest live rock performance. No specisl effects or lighting for anyone, and Queen outperforms everyone!!
@@barbaramendoza2202 Thanks for the correction. I got it confused with the 2005 Hyde Park, Live 8 concert, "To End Poverty". It was the last time the 70's Pink Floyd members performed together.
The large crowd you were impressed with was the Live Aid concert in 1985 in Wembley. Please react to it. You’ll see Freddie playing guitar on the song “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”. Of course, the whole concert is fantastic. 😊😊😊💕💜💕💜💕💜
❤❤❤QUEEN ❤❤❤
Well your right about Queen. Great band.
This was the last song on their last album and you nailed the message (they released one more after this but it was repurposed b-sides). Damn right he knew what the message was. 🥲
I needed this message right now, both from the song and from your commentary. Thank you.
Queen and Freddie Mercury were the best. Love them
He plays piano to.
4:48 Whenever I hear that high note, I will always think to Freddie’s immortal line when Brian May said he wasn’t sure he’d be able to hit it in his condition:
‘I’ll fucking do it, darling!’.
Outstanding song. One of my favourite Queen songs, released when Freddie knew he was dying.
You would enjoy the official video of “Bicycle Race” an early Queen song. ✌️
This is a visual montages of videos with Freddie. Proving his point that the show must go on no matter what. Even in his end of last, Freddie kept on singing😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤
Who Wants to Live Forever, live in Budapest is a magnificent song. Freddie at his best.
Yes, Queen was the epitome of "rockness." Now different artist, different song, same title; Leo Sayer - The Show Must Go On. A tragically overlooked performer. Leo wrote it, but it was a pretty good hit for Three Dog Night.
Michael have you been living on planet Mars ..
This is a complalation of all Queens' previous videos. Songs through the years. Best band ever ❤️
I didn't know he was ill at this moment. I'll listen to this song completely differently now, that's quite logical. Congratulations for your work, my friend 👍👍🔥🔥
You should check out Queen + Adam Lambert Who Wants to Live Forever Isle of Wight 2014. While Adam isn't Freddie, he does the music justice. There are also some great videos of Queen/Adam performing The Show Must Go On. There are also many wonderful videos of Brian singing Love of My Life as a tribute to Freddie (the one in Rio 2015 is particularly poignant because it was exactly 30 years since Queen had performed at the same festival).
Depends on what day it is, but today my 3 favorites are:
White Queen at Hammersmith Odeon '75
You Take My Breath Away Hyde Park
Black Queen lyric video
Liar at the Rainbow '74
(OK today I had 4 songs 😋)
It was after his diagnosis. He died in 1991.
As someone else said, Freddie was literally dying when this was recorded. He was barely able to stand. Thile there's a lot of additional engineering and such, his vocal was done in ONE TAKE. It was all he could do.
You'd never know it to hear this song, though.
Fue un crack, un icono musical. Es el mejor del planeta, sin discusión
Agree Queen were amazing 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
To place this in some form of historical context, this video was released just 24 hours after Freddie Mercury died from AIDS-related pneumonia. It was a mix of Queen’s past videos and concert performances (including Live Aid). It was the fifth video made in support of Queen’s Innuendo album. It premiered on MTV within a few days after his death.
I haven’t read many comments so others have probably mentioned that when this was recorded Freddie was pretty much dying. He would come in to the studio when he could and record what he could. They weren’t sure that he’d be able to do this song but apparently he would swig a little vodka and tell Brian “Fuck it, I’ll do it darling” and so he did. They never performed it live with him and there was no video except this compilation of excerpts from previous work. It wasn’t the very last thing he did but it was very near the end. I LOVE this song. Probably my 3 favorite Queen songs, in no real order, are “The Show Must Go On”, “Who Wants To Live Forever” and “Under Pressure” (recorded with David Bowie).
This was among Freddie's last recordings. He was terminally ill and still managed to sound this incredible.
We miss you, Freddie.
This video is a mix of other Queen vids; released after his death in November 1991.
Thanks, Duffy.. what Sherry Heim said..
Yes - Adam Lambert is their vocalist
Freddie was dying when he recorded this they never made an official video due to his health he couldn’t even stand when recording the vocals he had to sit he was extremely weak the fact he managed to do such a great performance is truly amazing
Freddie recorded and sung it in the last few months of his life, the only person who sang it live in concert was Queen's new frontman Adam Lambert.
I think he wrote this for the fans after his diagnosis. Expressing how much pain he was in - but still wanted to put on amazing shows for them. This IS one of my top favourites - along with Somebody to Love and We Will Rock You. Adam Lambert from American Idol fronts the band now. The guys got to perform with Adam on Idol - and the loved him so much - that afterwards they asked him to join the band. They have been touring for several years now. I've seen them live in Toronto - and they are just phenomenal together. Would love for you to check them out.
Brian May actually wrote this but for Freddie. The rumor is Freddie was so sick that Brian didnt know if he could do it. Freddie took a swig of vodka and said "I'll fucking do it, darling" and he sure did.
@@egk2584 He absolutely did - and with such amazing grace, heart, and passion.
This Queen song recorded while Freddie was battling his symptoms from HIV/AIDS, “The Show Must Go On” is a compellingly powerful final coda to Freddie’s legacy. The song closes Queen’s final studio album released during Freddie’s lifetime.
While “The Show Must Go On” was mainly written by lead guitarist Brian May, the song’s theme is driven by the probability it would be Freddie's “finale”. His severe symptoms made recording Innuendo difficult.
Freddie’s struggles with HIV/AIDS were kept secret from the public at large until his official 1991, November 23rd, press release divulging that he was, in fact, dying from AIDS-related complications.
Previously the British paparazzi had speculated, cruelly, and reported, that Freddie was diagnosed with the disease and proceeded to stalk him, making his life even more miserable.
Intentionally or not, Freddie’s announcing his illness on November 23rd was prescient:
Approximately 24 hours after the press release, Freddie Mercury died.
The “Innuendo” recording sessions were completed by November 1990; the album was released in February 1991. After those sessions, Freddie continued to record studio vocals as much as his health would allow. He loved his work; or rather, he passionately loved making music, and had always tried to keep his personal life private.
During these last recording sessions sometimes Freddie was so ill he could barely walk, making the recording process erratic, emotionally wrought, and logistically difficult for the band, especially for guitarist Brian May, a studio perfectionist.
Brian told a feeble Freddie not to over-exert himself during a session for the final track’s vocals, intimating he wasn’t up to the challenge. According to Queen lore, a frustrated Freddie responded by slamming a shot, or two, of vodka, saying, “I’ll fucking do it, darling”. May recalled Mercury’s performance:
He went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal"
And the show has very much gone on …
After Freddie passed away, Queen's bass guitarist. John Deacon (who was extremely close to Freddie) retired from music but Brian May (Lead Guitarist) and Roger Taylor (Drummer) still perform as Queen. They performed with Paul Rodgers singing the lead vocals from 2004 to 2009.
Since 2009, Adam Lambert has sung the lead vocal with the remaining members of Queen. They will be touring the US in October 2023.
Hey I’ve literally just discovered your reaction videos and I love watching you discover these songs for the first time, I get a little jealous I wish I could go back to all my favourites to experience the first initial falling in love and goosebumps. I’m not sure if you have ever explained before I haven’t got through all the vids yet, but I am so interested in the reason behind why you haven’t heard or seen any of these songs and artists before? If it’s private then please excuse my intrusion. Maybe I just was brought up with all genres of music and it was a huge part of my family’s life and that’s perhaps why I’m lucky to have a wide variety of love and knowledge of all different kinds of music. If it is ok with you, could you give me a little insight into how you didn’t get to see some of the classics such as queen, Abba, and Whitney Houston until now? Maybe I’m assuming but I genuinely thought everyone had heard or seen these over the years? I’m from Scotland to give you a little info about where I grew up. Not sure if it makes a difference. Thanks. Alana
Who Wants To Live Forever
These Are The Days Of Our Lives
Princes Of The Universe
These are some of my favorites with the first being my all time favorite.
Legend
Freddie was very sick at this time and Literally dying
The hammer must fall, somebody to love we are the champions
the fact brian was the one who made the song for freddy about the strength he's shown throughout his illness...
It was after his diagnosis. He’s amazing
Queen still performs with new front man Adam Lambert
Please do. In my defense died in 1991. Brian May the guitarist and Roger Taylor still perform. But John Decon the bass player, retired after Freddie’s passing.
the huge crowd was Live Aid 985 ...you should react to their performance
Got to check out Brighton Rock. Consistently listed in the top 100 guitar solos of all time.
I'm just here for the mayonnaise jar in the back 😅😅😅😅 jk. I love this song. I just discovered it and i am obsessed
Top 3??!! 😂😂😂 Too many “favorites”!! Here’s some that are worth watching:
-WHITE QUEEN live Hammersmith Odeon
-LIAR live at the Rainbow
-SOMEBODY TO LOVE both Official video and live at Montreal
-WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER both Official video and live at Budapest
-YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY live at Hyde Park. Just Freddie’s beautiful voice and his piano
- LIVE AID (Queen performance)
-DRAGON ATTACK live Montral
-LOVE OF MY LIFE live Wembley (also Rio, where thousands of non-English speaking fans practically sang for him!)
-EXERCISES IN FREE LOVE Freddie singing demo of melody he wrote for Opera singer Monserrat Caballet. He wrote the song Barcelona for the Olympics, and recorded an album with Monserrat. This was a first time collab for a rock + opera genre!
I could go on…but that’s a good start!! 😊😊😊👑👑👑
Yes, they are sill preforming. Favorite 3: White Queen; In My Defense; Who Wants to Live Forever.
The reason there are so many cuts is that this is a mixture of previous videos for songs and live performance as Freddie was too sick by this point to appear in a new one.
You MUST watch the live aid concert..I was there..Best 20mins of my life ❤
This was Freddie’s last song! It’s one of my favorite and it’s heart breaking!
Actually this after his diagnosis, Brain May the lead guitarist mentioned in an interview that he apparently approached Freddie saying I’ve written a new song (The Show Must Go On) do you think you’re well enough to sing as Freddie some days didn’t have the energy to stand for long periods, Freddie replied Fuck yes darling then he took a large vodka and did the song in one take, Brian also mentioned that he thought this song was one of Freddie best vocals, I actually attended many live Queen concerts in the 80s and I also attended Freddie’s last live concert ever at Knebworth Stevenage in 1986 where the crowd was 120,000-140,000 people, great reaction thanks 🙏
Tie your mother down. Great song.
This is February 1991, before his death that came months later.
LOL!! Put the mayo back in the fridge.
Freddie was in the last stages of AIDS when he recorded this, the fact that he gave it his all, with some help from vodka, allegedly, just seals his legendary status
This song was well after his diagnosis. He was super ill during it. It's why the video is made up of a mashup of all the older videos and clips
This is near the end ...
Haven't heard from you in a while Michael. Hoping you're doing well. Put the mayonnaise back in the fridge and let us know you're okay.
So...nobody is gonna ask about the Hellman's Mayo? That's fridge stuff my guy. Lol.
this video was made using clips from all their video clips, it was the final period of Freddy's life
Just a stupid question but why is there a Helmans Mayonnaise jar behind your head?
AICI ESTE VB.DESPRE TALENTUL LUI ,NU DESPRE VIAȚA LUI PERSONALĂ. FIECARE ARE DREPTUL SA ȘI TRĂIASCĂ VIAȚA CUM VREA.

Enjoyed the reaction, but am I the only one wondering why there is a jar of mayonnaise behind your right shoulder?
Think it’s a prop to be memorized easy to remember the mayo guy😅
