It was Mercury's last official album with Queen, and when it was released, very few people knew he had the disease. He never moaned, he never said 'my life is s-t, this is terrible, I hate it,'" said May. "He had an incredible strength and peace try feeling upbeat and energetic on a dinky uncomfortable school bus at 3 am while everyone around you is sleeping lol.

The Show Must Go On is a song by Queen and it featured as the twelfth and final track on their 1991 album Innuendo. The song tells the effort of Freddie Mercury continuing to perform despite approaching the end of his life. The title is derived from the phrase "the show must go on", and may be in reaction to the numerous press speculations about lead singer Mercury's critically declining health since the late 1980s

Produced by: Queen and David Richards. Musicians: Freddie Mercury - lead vocals. Brian May - guitars, keyboards, backing vocals. John Deacon - bass guitar. Roger Taylor - drums, backing vocals. 1998 eYe Full Instrumental - Electronic Arts DDE05501 101S.

The song closes Queen’s final studio album-release during Freddie’s lifetime. While the 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 Mercury’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. 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.

Verse Verse Chorus - Solo 1 Bridge Chorus Solo 2 (Chorus I) - Chorus II' - Outro. This time we are going to analyse probably the last Queen song that reached the "anthem" status. The intro sequence is created by Deacon and Taylor, a really unusual contribution inside the band.

Show must go on. Inside my heart is breaking. My make-up may be flaking. The three remaining members of Queen performed it with Elton John, who sang lead vocals, and Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, who played rhythm guitar. This track was used in the film "Moulin Rouge" (2001). Céline Dion made a cover of this song released as a digital single on the 20th of May 2016. Lindsey Stirling is featured on the track on violin.
