This was Freddie's Goodbye Anthem. He was dying while this last Album was being made. They all worked..fast as they could to finish and Freddie refused to stop working. His last labor of love for his Best Friends. Every clip you see in the video..was their entire career on film to honor Freddie. The World misses him.
No actually, this song was written by Brian, it was Brian coming to terms with having to go on without his friend. Freddie's goodbye song is "was it all worth it?" on the Miracle album
Brian the lead guitarist wrote the song When Freddy was getting weaker and was barely able to stand for most of the recording he was worried that he wouldn't be able to sing it but Freddie downed a couple of shots of vodka and said I will f****** do it darling and killed it in one take
this song is so powerful especially when you know that the whole meaning behind this song is Freddy coming to terms with the fact that he was succumbing to his illness and was going to be gone soon and was a message to the band to keep playing when he is gone
This was a copulating of all there videos to there music I had great pleasure to see them live and so many other groups live and no band will ever come close to queen after a couple of cord's of one of there songs Freddie had the audience in the palm of his hands. RIP Freddie
This is the song i want to see reacted to aswel.. shes seen enough of queen that she can appreciate it.... im new here so if she did it sorry..if not...do it... it will be epic...
It wasn't the last song he made, it's "mother love", freddie didn't even had the chance to end it because he said he'll take a rest near the end of the song, but he didn't come back 😢 Sorry for my wrong and bad grammar
These are all snippets from earlier videos and concert footage. The expression on your face when you see them all in drag is priceless. That's from "I Want to Break Free," a delightful song.
Lady. Welcome to the Queen family. I cry at your reactions, as a newer generation ambassador discovering the legends that are Freddie, Roger, Brian and John. It makes my heart swell with pride. Thank you.
It was Written by Brian and this is what he said about it:..... I woke up one morning with this image of butterflies in my head, and I thought I would love to hear Freddie sing: 'My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies.' I thought: this is Freddie. And he's not going to write it for himself, because he wasn't going to thrust himself forward in that way, you know? But I can write it for him. I wanted to put those words in his mouth. And it was a gift from God. I don't even know where those lyrics came from. So I presented it all to him the next time he turned up in the studio, and by that time he was suffering a lot. He could hardly stand. I played him some of the demo, with me singing, which went incredibly high and was very difficult. In the past, Freddie was always shouting at me, like, 'It's too fucking high! You're making me ruin my beautiful voice!' So he downed a couple of vodkas, neat, then propped himself up on the desk and worked his way through singing all of that song. And it was amazing. I think he did three or four takes, and he absolutely smashed that vocal. It's like he reached into a place that even he'd never got to before. I remember saying to Freddie, 'I don't want you to hurt yourself. You know, don't force yourself to do this if it's not going to feel good.' But he said, 'I'll fucking do it, Brian!' And he did. And it was beautiful. I think it's one of his finest performances of all time. It's incredible. - Brian May, 2023
It's so sad during this video seeing Freddie being so full of life and healthy and know when he was recording this he was dying. He was so frail they didn't think he could do it. Love you, Freddie.
When the band is in drag it was a take off of a British Soap Opera, But the song I'm going slightly mad and video is my all time fav. My brother was a DJ in Macon, GA. He brought home all the Queen albums fron the 70s and 80;s I wore them out! Drew the artwork from I'ts a kind of magic and made postcard party invites then mailed them. Saw Queen twice and Brian May all shows in Atlanta. Brian sang : Love of my Life" The band stopped and the audience sang the whole song. There was not a dry eye in the small venue. Once you heardthe pin drop ( yes all quiet), Brian announced that Freddy would kill him if he didn't play this song..... Guitars blasting the intro of " Tie Your Mother Down"! Still silence, as all were in awe then applause, screams and whistles! The whole place was jamming and dancing! From tears to cheers!!!
An amazing song, Freddie sings the hell out of it. He was a strong person, who kept on going till the end. I suggest Who wants to live forever live at Budapest. Much bless❤
I love this song even though it almost always makes me cry. ❤️🙏❤️ Freddy died 30 years ago and Bohemian Rhapsody is over 45 years old. It's up to you, young people, to keep Freddy and Queen's music around for the future generations to enjoy. The Show Must Go On!
I just heard a newly released LIVE Version of The Show Must Go On!!!! I caught it on Nair Studios. PLEASE watch it. I watched it 3 times last night. Another top favorite of mine!!
Let's not forget this was taken shortly before his death and most importantly, he took this in one take and on the first take after downing a huge vodka glass. He never got to sing this song live... Unfortunately... R. I. P. LEGEND✊🏽
I've been listening to queen for over thirty years now, since a little kid, but Freddie's voice still gets me, the power and the passion, it can never be matched, a legend in life an icon in death, queen are what true talent should sound like
Bro was fighting for his life at the time, battling AIDS. Nearly skeletal and barely able to sing more than a few lines at a time and he STILL sounded like a GOD
Freddie had a full 4 octave range, very rare in a singer. He held back in live performances because he didn't want to hurt his voice, but in the studio he went for it giving every ounce of his powerful voice. A funny thing happened, the sicker Freddie got the more powerful his voice became. Queen's last two official albums are The Miracle and Innuendo and on both albums you can hear this raw power in Freddie's voice that wasn't there before.
Prior to knowing this was sung before his passing, I sang this song but cannot for the life of me sing it without getting choked up. His emotions were in this song and I felt it.
6:42 good timing with that horn 😄 But yeah, what a great song. All thw tragedy behind it. And that vibe that song has is amazing. Perfect song. Queen was like nothing else. Poor Freddy R. I. P
This is the song that he wrote to say goodbye to the world he was ill he had eids, and he just wanna say his heart is breaking but the show must go on. You should watch Bohemian Rapsody movie about the Queen actor who plays Freedy Mercury get oscar for that role. In this vide you have compilation of scenes from other videos. And fun fact why Lady Gaga call herself Lady Gaga, because of Quins song Radio Gaga. Also listen Friends will be friends, great pretender, and many more.
Try earlier 70’s live songs first like Killer Queen on the BBC, You Take My Breath Away live in Hyde Park 1976. Then try Somebody to Love live in Montreal 1981 and also Love of My Life live in Wembley. Then of course their iconic performance on Live Aid 1986 where they blew all the other acts away and gained a huge fan base. They have so many kinds of songs you are bound to find some you already adore you just didn’t know they were from Queen!
Freddie is the greatest male vocalist ever. Brian May is one of the greatest guitarists ever. I think between Queen and Pink Floyd, they were the total package. Throw Skynyrd in there also.
This was probably the best reaction to The Show must go on I've ever seen. This is my favourite Queen song, just because you can literally feels his pain in the vocals. What I personally love is the small moment at 3:12 . When the background vocals stop for a second and you're able to hear Freddies vocals with an insane vibrato and soooo clear. And all of this was sung by a dying man. #RipFreddie Edit: If you can't find it, the vibrato is at the "on" of the "The Show must go on!" #Theshowmustgoon
I believe Queen guitarist Brian May wrote The Show Must Go On for Freddie...Freddie was very I'll by then and there was concern he might not be able finish recording...he supposedly downed a glass of vodka and belted it out on one take.
That was sadly Freddy’s last song he actually sang before he passed, the last song he wrote was released in the last album that his band mates released. Edit: He did sing the first two verses of Mother Love, but he died before finishing that song. This was one of his last songs talking about his illness.
To me this is kind of a swan song for Freddie... the makeup is flaking, his health is failing, but the show, the show must go on. At least for a few more songs. Dammit. This gets me in tears every time.
very beautiful song with an incredible emotional power, especially when you understand the lyrics and you know that he sang it when he was sick and aware that it was the end for him what courage!!!! RIP Freddie Mercury we miss you!! ps: I cried like a baby when I listened to this sound 😥❤️❤️❤️
This was the last song he ever recorded and he was almost too sick to stand. He took a shot of vodka and recorded this song in one take. Listening to this song, knowing the back story is heart breaking
You need to listen to Scandal , Princes of the universe ,take my breath away thats just another few great and underrated tracks by Queen these are the ones that make one realise how great Queen were and still are
so sorry u had to go through that whole hacking thing but glad to see u back!!! new subscriber and notifications are on for ya girl!!! u have only just BARELY scratched the surface of the most diverse and amazing band that is the almighty QUEEN!!! dive right on into the whole discography honey!!! we Queen fans wont let ya drown!!! stay safe and healthy
You should react queen these are the days of our lives. This was the last video Freddie recorded before he died. This was his goodbye to us. The song ended with his final message to us. You will see how weak he looked. ruclips.net/video/oB4K0scMysc/видео.html thats the link.
Freddie was the definition of a true musician, he gave everything he had until he couldn't. It was a truly horrible day when I heard he died of AIDS complications. He will always be missed, always loved.
Love you Freddie and the world misses you
😘
Yes we do!!!
Amen!
👍❤️The King
Yes👍😪
This was Freddie's Goodbye Anthem.
He was dying while this last Album was being made.

He went out like the Prince of the Universe he was.
Freddie ABSOLUTELY "lacerated it" (Brian's words) there is a vocal only version, that is truly heartbreaking to hear
We didn't deserve him, he was honestly a gift
False, it wasn't recorded in one take... that would be really stupid to do anyway
@@RoverWaters calm down ..lol.. You need to borrow a tampon?
Just remember that the man who is singing wasn't even able to walk. Freddie's voice was from another world
And most of the song was done in one take.
@@anibaldk and bottle of vodka on top
Yes👍😪
In my top 3 vocalist
He was fucking half dead
I love her reaction 😆😆😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😊😇
The day Freddie died i was on my first Ward placement as a student nurse. The whole ward was crying. It was a moment.
this song is so powerful especially when you know that the whole meaning behind this song is Freddy coming to terms with the fact that he was succumbing to his illness and was going to be gone soon and was a message to the band to keep playing when he is gone
This was a copulating of all there videos to there music I had great pleasure to see them live and so many other groups live and no band will ever come close to queen after a couple of cord's of one of there songs Freddie had the audience in the palm of his hands. RIP Freddie
Oh our precious Freddie! Your voice is hauntingly beautiful! We love and miss you so! This is just one of your many vocal masterpieces! QUEEN FOREVER!
I'm in tears right now.
❤️ U Freddie, wherever u are!!!
There is no such thing as a "Bad" Queen song... Your reaction was priceless... You need to listen to "Who Wants to live forever" and "Mother Love"
Mother love is sooooo carchy indeed😭😭😭
Mother Love leaves me a blubbering wreck every time!
Would anything from the Hot Space album be considered "bad"?
This is the song i want to see reacted to aswel.. shes seen enough of queen that she can appreciate it.... im new here so if she did it sorry..if not...do it... it will be epic...
@Ricardo DeMatteo agreed, it is haunting...
Freddie is legendary. What an epic song!❤
It's another one of their iconic hits.
It was the last song he ever recorded. And they were worried he wouldn’t be healthy enough to finish it so he recorded it in ONE TAKE.
It wasn't the last song he made, it's "mother love", freddie didn't even had the chance to end it because he said he'll take a rest near the end of the song, but he didn't come back 😢
Sorry for my wrong and bad grammar
That doesn’t matter dude, all that matters is what u erote is true and beautiful 😍
👍
R.I.P Freddie Mercury 💔💔💔 We All miss you ..
Queen are PHENOMENAL. There’s no other word.
It's the power of his voice and the impact of the lyrics that hit your soul like nothing else, legends
These are all snippets from earlier videos and concert footage. The expression on your face when you see them all in drag is priceless. That's from "I Want to Break Free," a delightful song.
4:31...Never has a dying man sounded more alive.
In this Time he say goodbye,he died so young.......... he sit on the Rainbow and looks for us...
When Freddie winks at the camera kills it.
Lady. Welcome to the Queen family. I cry at your reactions, as a newer generation ambassador discovering the legends that are Freddie, Roger, Brian and John. It makes my heart swell with pride. Thank you.

I woke up one morning with this image of butterflies in my head, and I thought I would love to hear Freddie sing: 'My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies.' I thought: this is Freddie.

And it was beautiful. I think it's one of his finest performances of all time. It's incredible.
- Brian May, 2023
no one can touch Freddie Mercury's vocals. R.I.P.
Watching people react to freddie and get impressed and even cry about it makes my faith in humanity come back
It's so sad during this video seeing Freddie being so full of life and healthy and know when he was recording this he was dying. He was so frail they didn't think he could do it. Love you, Freddie.

That was Freddie saying he was gonna go out with a bang! God bless Freddie! We miss you! There will never be another like you!
The IMPACT That queen had is phennomenal!
This song always makes me cry. It was Freddy's last song before he died of AIDS.
technically mother love was, but he died halfway through the song.
@@dogrestgd350 Yes, you are right
@@Anisabell2 yes, i know.
If by last song you mean the last single ever released during Freddie's life time (six weeks before he died), then yes this is the last song.
Yes ❤️The King Freddie 👍
No video was made for this song, as Freddie was on his last legs (Hence the mashup of earlier videos)
Freddie Mercury will never be topped, he will always be a legend and his music will be loved for years to come. He died a legend
Dead man walking...and singing....I love him so much, he changed my world...hope to see him in heaven.
Freddy's voice was amazing. The world suffered a tremendous loss when we lost him. RIP Freddy...we love you.
This song and his voice always give me hope. He was such a strong man till the very end.
An amazing song, Freddie sings the hell out of it. He was a strong person, who kept on going till the end. I suggest Who wants to live forever live at Budapest. Much bless❤
I love this song even though it almost always makes me cry.
❤️🙏❤️
Freddy died 30 years ago and Bohemian Rhapsody is over 45 years old. It's up to you, young people, to keep Freddy and Queen's music around for the future generations to enjoy.
The Show Must Go On!
May I recommend These are the days of our lives by Queen. It's a beautiful song, it's kinda like Freddie's goodbye.
I know what you mean. I still miss him. 🦌⛤⛧🤘🇬🇧
That is such a beautiful song!
Heartbreakingly beautiful - but keep tissues close by
with the closing line looking into the camera saying I still look and i find i still love you head down i still love you. A direct goodbye to everyone
@@RK-zf1jm Yep - every time - it's why I have tissues nearby *sniff*
Close ur eyes an listen. Beautifull song one of the top 5 ever
Freddy was dying even as they made this video.
I just heard a newly released LIVE Version of The Show Must Go On!!!! I caught it on Nair Studios. PLEASE watch it. I watched it 3 times last night. Another top favorite of mine!!

What gets me every time, is that he sings " i'll soon be turning round the corner now"
Freddie had a full 4 octave range, very rare in a singer.

OMG, the look on your face just about sums up Queen. You gotta watch I Want to Break Free, it'll explain the dresses.
This is the very last song Freddie was able to finish. He finished his career in the biggest way he could
what a phenomenal voice freddie
A genuine, beautiful reaction, to a genuinely beautiful song! Well done for getting through it.
Probably one of Queen's most iconic songs now.
Prior to knowing this was sung before his passing, I sang this song but cannot for the life of me sing it without getting choked up. His emotions were in this song and I felt it.
i cried buckets when i heard this after he died. its self biographical and so sad.
6:42 good timing with that horn 😄
But yeah, what a great song. All thw tragedy behind it. And that vibe that song has is amazing. Perfect song. Queen was like nothing else. Poor Freddy R. I. P
This song still gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it!

“The Show Must Go On” aint a song sang in vain.
Probably some of the greatest vocals of his career, and when he recorded it he was dying and could barely walk, that sums up how legendary the man was
Yet another amazing performance by Freddie. He put everything he had into every song he ever sang!

Freddie/ Queen .. LEGENDS !!
I believe Queen guitarist Brian May wrote The Show Must Go On for Freddie...Freddie was very I'll by then and there was concern he might not be able finish recording...he supposedly downed a glass of vodka and belted it out on one take.
FALSE it wasn't one take... internet kids tale
@@RoverWaters Not according to two different biographies of Mr. Mercury.
Remarkable he managed to sing like this he was so ill
That was sadly Freddy’s last song he actually sang before he passed, the last song he wrote was released in the last album that his band mates released.
Edit: He did sing the first two verses of Mother Love, but he died before finishing that song. This was one of his last songs talking about his illness.
There is only one Freddie but what a legacy he's left US!
Girl let the years flow. I know you were holding it in. I still cry listening to this song 30 years later.
One of the last hit singles they made, before Freddie's passing. This was him kinda saying he was ready to go.
This was Freddy talking about after he was gone. Freddy and Brian wrote the lyrics and music by Brian. The past almost 30 years hasn't been the same.
To me this is kind of a swan song for Freddie... the makeup is flaking, his health is failing, but the show, the show must go on. At least for a few more songs. Dammit. This gets me in tears every time.
For myself this is the most beautiful and powerful song that Queen produced and that is from a long list of great songs.
I always saw this song as knowing what was coming but basically Freddie is giving death the middle finger.
very beautiful song with an incredible emotional power, especially when you understand the lyrics and you know that he sang it when he was sick and aware that it was the end for him what courage!!!!
RIP Freddie Mercury we miss you!!
ps: I cried like a baby when I listened to this sound 😥❤️❤️❤️
February 1991 - Freddy Mercury and Queen record the The show must go on . 24th of November 1991 ... Freddy ... no more !
Rip freddie. Best voice best band best concerts. The Best is QUEEN
This was the last song he ever recorded and he was almost too sick to stand. He took a shot of vodka and recorded this song in one take. Listening to this song, knowing the back story is heart breaking
Babe, you summed it up for all of us, Freddie and Queen were too good for all of us ❤️
I was luck enough to grow up listening to Queen, Freddie was the best showman, RIP Freddie 29 years today you left us, gone but never forgotten ❤️🌹
Freddie wrote this masterpiece knowing that he was dying! What can you say? Moves me every time I hear it!
You need to listen to Scandal , Princes of the universe ,take my breath away thats just another few great and underrated tracks by Queen these are the ones that make one realise how great Queen were and still are
it's his best.
Ahhhh the farewell song 😭😭😭
I love your reactions! As much as I love Queen, this was not a song I knew. Thanks for making me love Queen even more!
Freddy had an amazing voice 😍🥰🎙🔊
I believe this was the last Song Freddie made before he Past away, bless him 🙏
In tears literally miss you so much Freddie😢❤
There will never be another Mr. Mercury

Love him he was too ill to sing it live he fought to the bitter end rip freddie 💙💙💙
Freddie’s voice will always touch your soul, miss you Freddie.
You should react queen these are the days of our lives. This was the last video Freddie recorded before he died. This was his goodbye to us. The song ended with his final message to us. You will see how weak he looked. ruclips.net/video/oB4K0scMysc/видео.html thats the link.
I LOVE my KING!
Every time I hear this song , I just tear up. Rest In Peace Freddie , you are missed .
This album came out in early 1991 and by November 24,1991, we lost Freddie.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. No question. Painful, true and most important, relatable.
Freddie was the definition of a true musician, he gave everything he had until he couldn't. It was a truly horrible day when I heard he died of AIDS complications. He will always be missed, always loved.
They were awesome live
Freddie! Dying very ill nearing his\the end yet still telling the world that the show must go on!!!!!
I as well as many many others shed many tears when you passed Freddy wish you still with us😪
i grew up with this music,i love it, I enjoy your reaction a lot, greetings from Germany
