Would love it if you started reacting to David Bowie, so many incredible songs Ashes to ashes, Life on Mars, Let's dance, Starman, there's so many. Something very enigmatic about him and his music.
The video was official but it was a reissue. There was no original video with them when it was a hit the first time. By the time it was reissued Freddie had passed some years before so they edited two separate performances and cut them together. Queen and Bowie never preformed it live irl. Bowie has a phenomenol 50 year career, is regarded as one of the greatest and most respected singer/songwriters. He, was a fashion icon too and has around 60 hits around the world. And if you don't know was, knowing for constantly changing his musical styles and appearance from record to record with great effect. Rock, Soul/R&B, Electronica, Drum n bass, industrial rock, jazz and so on. As you hear more of his songs you'll be '' Wait, I know this! '' 😀👨🎤
I was so very fortunate to have been there the evening this song started. Out for an evening in Montreux with friends (sound engineer and wife), who worked for the recording studio (which Queen bought) and an impromptu jam session started up....... resulting in Under Pressure. I feel so lucky to have met them all during my days of living in Montreux. To the best of my knowledge they never performed this on stage together so it's very artistically edited. Two great legends RIP
Back in the day, I was a massive Bowie fan and my neighbour a huge Queen fan - we spent many hours arguing who was the best, Bowie or Queen - and then they brought this out and we were forced to concede to each other. My neighbour has passed now and I wish I could have that argument just one more time - RIP Nige.
I am 74 and my sister is 72, and we love Queen, Plus David Bowie, but hearing them together Man!!! Wonderful. I have watched all of your videos, all I can say you have grown so much in your love and optional on this music. They will both be so sorely missed in this world, along with so many other famous singer, songwriters. Will keep listening to you and your words pity you missed these legends. But YOU will make your own in your life time. Take care, come again to the UK in our Summer, we have a lot of Festival in the open, just bring your Wet weather gear!!!
Bowie had such a unique voice and was a great song writer. Space Oddity, Starman, Rebel Rebel, Jean Genie, Life on Mars, Ziggy Stardust, Let's Dance, China Girl - its a long list. Plus the music he wrote and performed for films too, like Labyrinth.

I can pretty much guarantee you will recognise a lot of David Bowies work when you here it. A legendary music artist known the world over. Starman, Oh you pretty things, Ashes to Ashes, Space Oddity, Let's Dance to name but a few. Another music legend.
Sadly, Freddie and David never got to perform this live together- hence this video being a bit of a compilation. They recorded it together of course, but David first performed it live at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert after his death. A lot of people hear the bass line from this and realise it was used on Vanilla Ice's 'Ice Ice Baby' - a lot of younger people know that better than this original.
David Bowie was a great artist. I felt honoured to have worked on a time capsule that honoured his life and works after he died..it was a glass and brass circular time capsule with the lyrics from his most prominent songs engraved around the brass frame so a real pice of rock history memorial memorabilia You have to check out his last song that he released it w As David Bowie's message to his fans basically saying he was dying and goodbye to the world
Whoever spliced this together did it really well. They actually NEVER performed on stage together so this video is 2 separate performances spliced together ❤️ . As they both wrote this song together, they agreed that both Freddie Mercury and David Bowie would put the song on BOTH of their albums, with credits going to both of them. I think (correct me if im wrong), that this song was written in a pub on a beer mat. It's such a shame they never got to perform on stage together. RIP to both of them. Both giants in their crafts.❤❤
Wow!! you have never seen this. This was a major hit in Australia!! Both Queen and David Bowie were absolute legends in a large part of the world including Australia!!
If you're interested in other Freddie duets i can highly recommend Barcelona with Montserrat Caballé. 2 voices which on paper should sound totally incompatible, but they blend together perfectly. I get goosebumps everytime i hear it
David Bowie has dueted with many different people as well as having a solo career, has appeared in films and TV series . Growing up one of my favourite films was Labyrinth which stars David Bowie which he did a number of songs for.
i love the love performance as Freddie does an amazing crowd interaction in it. also at his tribute concert, Annie Lennox and Bowie sang this and the crowd spontaneously filled in Freddie’s scatting
You’re right. It’s not an official video. They never performed this song together live. They sang together on the recording in the studio. What you’re looking at is Queen doing the song without David in concert, and David is singing the song at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1991, I believe, and Annie Lennox was singing Freddie’s part. The entire Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert is incredible! It’s almost like Live Aid all over again, with the fucking unbelievable lineup of artists! As you can imagine, when Queen call you up and ask you to come and sing with them to honour Freddie Mercury, well… Check it out! One of the greatest concerts ever!
David Bowie was and is one of my fav. singers. When I heard he passed away I had his song 'We can be Heroes' on loop on by work computer for over 7 hrs whilst I worked. He was a very Versatile and Talented singer. May he R.I.P
Produced and written by David Bowie and Queen 👸. Great 👍 duet. This song is a pivot for the late David Bowie. 2 years later, he recorded and released Let's Dance 💃. RIP David Bowie and Freddie Mercury. Suggested videos 📹: 1 David Bowie sings Let's Dance 💃 2 Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson sing There Must Be More to life than This.
HEROES IS A REALLY GREAT DAVID BOWIE SONG 🎵 AND CHECK OUT HIM SINGING HEROES AT LIVE AID 1985 ITS AN AWESOME PERFORMANCE BY BOWIE WHO IS AN ICONIC BRITISH SINGER.
Queen and Adam Lambert are going to be touring America in October and November. It's the Rhapsody tour. I saw them in Birmingham UK last year and they were phenomenal. It's well worth going to see them if you can get tickets. I know that Freddie is greatly missed, but Adam doesn't try to be him, he just does it his way to keep the music alive. I loved it 😍
If I'm not mistaken, the way they individually sang their parts was completely improvised. I could also be wrong but Jon Bon Jovi spoke of how he worked at the studio where they recorded this and he saw them but couldn't speak to them because staff weren't allowed to talk to the artists. This is a masterpiece, and you should really check out more David Bowie. He's been around since the 60s and just like queen, his music is timeless.
Sorry Amy but you've got it all wrong. This video was a compilation from two separate Concerts: Queens 1986 concert at Wembley plus Bowie's tribute to Freddy at his funeral concert in 1991. In the tribute Bowie did it as a duo with Annie Lenox from Eurythmics. The other Queen members were the backing band on both occasions but you can see they were wearing different clothing. NOTE: I had watched BOTH Concerts so knew immediately what had happened. The person who had fused the two together did an excellent job. To check, you should do a search for Freddy's tribute Concert and Bowie/Lenox singing "Under Pressure". You'll recognise where Annie gets cut from the performance. So, Freddy and David NEVER sung the song in public together. Their one huge chance might have been at Live Aid in 1985 but it didn't happen. Cheers.
@John Wilson Sorry, you've mistaken what I've said. I'm not talking about the video, which is very well put together :) I know where the footage is from. I'm talking about when they recorded the song in the studio.
Singularly, Bowie was among, if not the most, influential artist of the past 100 years. It's kinds cool to know that I was young enough to see him perform, multiple times live!
They both have great voices and what I love is the diction and harmony, such a powerful combination. It brings tears to my eyes the thought of all those great talents we have lost. It really would be a great video if somebody did a compilation of some of the greats we have lost. Thank you so much Joel!
David Bowie did his bit first, and then he was supposed to leave the building and let Freddie do his bit but David Bowie went up into the recording studio without Freddie knowing watched him and said to the producer he is better than that he can do more than what he was doing and this is the final product one of the best songs ever recorded by two legends
David Bowie has so many good tunes, check out Dancing In The Street, with Mick Jagger, also Space Oddity, Sound & Vision, China Girl, and so many more.
Two absolute giants. Both are very sorely missed. Hard to believe this track is now forty two years old. Maybe a reaction to Bowie's "Life on Mars" next? That's a mere fifty years old...
As far as I know Freddie and David only ever did this song once and that was in a recording studio. They never had the chance to preform this live. I'm sure it would have been even more epic if they had gotten to do it live in front of an crowd. As for other songs to listen to from David, you might check out "Space Oddity". That is the only one that I know off the top of my head. I'm sure there are others that I know but can't think of them right now.
Hi Joel, what a great way to start the day!!! My term paper is 99% done (you have the draft), so this video is really uplifting! Good luck on your midterm today. John in Canada
Joel, some Bowie you should check out; Ashes To Ashes, Space Oddity, Life on Mars, Starman, Let's Dance, Jump! They say, Heart's Filthy Lesson. Bowie can be difficult to get to grips with, particularly in his Ziggy Stardust persona but he's one of the greatest artists ever to come out of our great nation.
Great video as always!! You should check out more David Bowie❤… His most popular album is probably The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…. My personal favourite is Station to Station!!
David Bowie sang 'Heroes' at Live Aid in 1985. One of his best songs and a stunning performance on such a special day. If you haven't seen it Joel you won't be disappointed.
Totally, Heroes is wonderful and at Live Aid gave me goosebumps because of the occasion. Saw him sing it live the following year and it was a concert highlight.
Hi Joel, thank you for watching this and letting it play first before you give feedback. I’ve seen other reaction videos and they talk or pause the whole way through it & this is not one of those songs where you can do that and still enjoy the meaning behind the song. I’m glad you appreciate the two legends singing it.❤
David sang this song in his last tour, the Reality Tour, with his bassit Gail Ann Dorsey doing Freddie's part. its a thing to be seen. That woman is another thing!!!
Check out All the Young Dudes at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert is a must. A song written by Bowie and gifted to Mott the Hoople, which saved their career. Note how Bowie is happy to take a back seat and play the saxophone and sing back up vocals on his own song. Class act.
Check out all three songs from Ian Hunter's upcoming album Defiance part 1 : Bed of Roses, I Hate Hate, Pavlov's Dog. Three bangers. It seems album will be classic
What a lovely surprise this morning Joel, David Bowie wrote some great songs. Add Freddie with his incredible vocal range, and this is something special. It was good to see a few clips of the old Wembley Stadium too.
Great reaction Joel David’s bit was from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert which he sang with Annie Lennox amazing concert give it a go take care love from England x x
Love Freddie and Queen, but Bowie is my fav! Britain voted Bowie as the Most Iconic Entertainer of the 20th Century in a BBC show called Icons in 2019, so you should deffo check out more of his stuff!
Hi Joel,in my eyes two of the greatest performer's ever. Both sadly missed,gone but definitely never forgotten. Another great video,thanks again Joel x
Check out Bowies' The man who sold the world. There is a posteomus official video for it somewhere. By the way, Glasgow, Scotland is an amazing city. I live here, and apart from the weather, it is quite unique with history to scramble your brains, enjoy your videos, peace ✌️ out
As a child I only heard Davis Bowie on the radio, it wasn't until I saw Labyrinth, and him playing the Goblin King, and him singing in the movie, that I started to listen to certain tracks. As for this song, I'd heard Queen on the radio, and liked some of their songs as they were coming out in the 80's, but it wasn't until the mid 90's when I first saw the movie Highlander, and heard the soundtrack, that led me to Queen, and eventually to this song, and then onto David Bowie.
There are a number of very good David Bowie songs, including Starman, Life on Mars - this guy clearly had a theme with his titles! - and Ashes to Ashes and Let’s Dance. For pure entertaining value, check out the official video to Dancing In The Streets, the song he did with Mick Jagger. It’s a good song and the video is iconic.
I dont know how you could have never heard this. That seems insane to me. This music is not from my genre but I knew it was better than what they play now and even when I was young. I’m glad you’re hearing good music!! And enjoying it!
One of the best songs ever made. Queen, Bowie and Morrissey/The Smiths are my top 3 of all time, and it brings me joy that you’re diving into this British goldmine of music. Bowie for beginners: ”Heroes” Space Oddity Life on Mars?
You really should check out David Bowie. No the official video was different. Check out Life in Mars, all the Ziggy Stardust stuff, Sufffragete City; Absolute Beginners, Let's Dance Everything!! Was so lucky to see him live twice.
As good as this song is, it is probably not the best showcase for David's true talent. Take a listen to Moodage Daydream, Suffragette City, Starman, Space Oddity, Rebel Rebel, The Jean Genie or Ashes to Ashes these will all give you a great insight into the genius of Davied Bowie.
The weird thing is I was so young when that duo happened that it's as if it's been with me my entire life. You're so lucky, listening to it for the first as a young adult. Look after yourself and stay safe.
Great performers, great talent and a great song. RIP to them both.
Couldn't agree more!
Excellent. Please show the full screen!
Would love it if you started reacting to David Bowie, so many incredible songs Ashes to ashes, Life on Mars, Let's dance, Starman, there's so many. Something very enigmatic about him and his music.
Don't forget the classic 'Laughing Gnome'
Young American
Bowie and Freddie were similar in that they are both instantly recognisable when they sing , much missed 😢
Two legendary artists that are no longer with us 😢 love them both Good one Joel ❤

Yes check out David Bowie songs “Hero’s” “Space Oddity” “Starman” and “Life on Mars”
Yes! All of these!
I wish he were still here. The world is the poorer for his passing. (Same for Freddie)
David Bowie & Mick Jagger ..dancing in the street was another good duo ❤
David Bowie was and is one of my fav. singers. When I heard he passed away I had his song 'We can be Heroes' on loop on by work computer for over 7 hrs whilst I worked. He was a very Versatile and Talented singer. May he R.I.P
My 2 favourite heroes from my teenage years, no one EVER will replace these guys, iconic to say the least ❤️
Produced and written by David Bowie and Queen 👸. Great 👍 duet.
This song is a pivot for the late David Bowie. 2 years later, he recorded and released Let's Dance 💃.

Agree with you Joel, Somebody to Love has always been my favourite Queen song xx
At Freddie's tribute concert David sang this with Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics. It was outstanding and very emotional
David Bowie has so many songs,but my favorite is Heroes and Ashes to Ashes.
DAVID BOWIE WAS AN ABSOLUTE GIANT OF BRITISH MUSIC 🎶 AND IF YOU WANT TO SEE HIM AT HIS BEST THEN WATCH HIM SINGING HEROES LIVE AID 1985 ITS AWESOME!!!
DAVID BOWIE SINGING HEROES AT LIVE AID 1985 IS AN ABSOLUTE AWEDOME PERFORMANCE!!!
David Bowie has so many good tunes, check out Dancing In The Street, with Mick Jagger, also Space Oddity, Sound & Vision, China Girl, and so many more.
I have a cat called Freddie Mercury ❤ the talent from that one man just boggles my mind.
Two absolute giants. Both are very sorely missed. Hard to believe this track is now forty two years old. Maybe a reaction to Bowie's "Life on Mars" next? That's a mere fifty years old...
Bowie was a genius! So many incredible and great songs. Changes, Life on Mars, Space Oddity, and Heroes just to name a few.
One of my all time fave songs. Very powerful message beautifully delivered.

Bowie can be difficult to get to grips with, particularly in his Ziggy Stardust persona but he's one of the greatest artists ever to come out of our great nation.

This still gives me goosebumps even after all these years. Thanks for this reaction Joel
Uk 🇬🇧 we are just the best!
Two of the best! If not the best!❤
We had the best music in the 80's
Check out All the Young Dudes at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert is a must. A song written by Bowie and gifted to Mott the Hoople, which saved their career. Note how Bowie is happy to take a back seat and play the saxophone and sing back up vocals on his own song. Class act.

Yet another great artist both brilliant in their own right and bloody amazing together sad loss
DAVID BOWIE SINGING HEROES AT LIVE AID 1985 IS SUCH AN AWESOME PERFORMANCE DAVID BOWIE WHO IS TRULY THE KING OF COOL.
Great reaction Joel David’s bit was from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert which he sang with Annie Lennox amazing concert give it a go take care love from England x x
It’s actually Queen and David Bowie. Brilliant song. ❤
Love Freddie and Queen, but Bowie is my fav! Britain voted Bowie as the Most Iconic Entertainer of the 20th Century in a BBC show called Icons in 2019, so you should deffo check out more of his stuff!
The recommendations I could give you for Bowie are endless. A true British icon and legend. Maybe start with ‘Space Oddity’ or ‘Starman’
Hi Joel,in my eyes two of the greatest performer's ever. Both sadly missed,gone but definitely never forgotten. Another great video,thanks again Joel x
Check out Bowies' The man who sold the world. There is a posteomus official video for it somewhere. By the way, Glasgow, Scotland is an amazing city. I live here, and apart from the weather, it is quite unique with history to scramble your brains, enjoy your videos, peace ✌️ out
Awesome song! Two different styles mixing perfectly!
I've been watching your channel for a while now and it's great. Much love my American friend ❤
A David Bowie song I always loved was "Major Tom" a futuristic and mysterious song.👍👍🔥🔥
As a child I only heard Davis Bowie on the radio, it wasn't until I saw Labyrinth, and him playing the Goblin King, and him singing in the movie, that I started to listen to certain tracks.
As for this song, I'd heard Queen on the radio, and liked some of their songs as they were coming out in the 80's, but it wasn't until the mid 90's when I first saw the movie Highlander, and heard the soundtrack, that led me to Queen, and eventually to this song, and then onto David Bowie.
If you're going to listen to David Bowie, you must do 'Space Oddity'.
I think what you need is to time travel to the ‘80s when World Aid Concert was happening. I’m sure you’d love it.
Thank you for this reaction ❤
I have this song on two cds, great to see the video, love it! Thanks Joel! .. Starman! 👍🥰
This is a song to put on your playlist. It will grow on you, and you will find yourself waking up having this song on your mind.
I don't usually like collaborations, but this one worked really well.
There are a number of very good David Bowie songs, including Starman, Life on Mars - this guy clearly had a theme with his titles! - and Ashes to Ashes and Let’s Dance.
For pure entertaining value, check out the official video to Dancing In The Streets, the song he did with Mick Jagger. It’s a good song and the video is iconic.
Plenty of Bowie would blow your mind! Also Queens Who wants to live Forever!
I dont know how you could have never heard this. That seems insane to me. This music is not from my genre but I knew it was better than what they play now and even when I was young. I’m glad you’re hearing good music!! And enjoying it!
One of the best songs ever made.
Queen, Bowie and Morrissey/The Smiths are my top 3 of all time, and it brings me joy that you’re diving into this British goldmine of music.
Bowie for beginners:
”Heroes”
Space Oddity
Life on Mars?
DAVID BOWIE SINGING HEROES AT LIVE AID 1985 IS AN AWESOME PERFORMANCE FROM BOWIE.
You really should check out David Bowie. No the official video was different. Check out Life in Mars, all the Ziggy Stardust stuff, Sufffragete City; Absolute Beginners, Let's Dance
Everything!! Was so lucky to see him live twice.
Thought you'd like it.And I'm with you about the Somebody to Love song
Fantastic, two wonderful singers and super people, thankyou .
Fantastic fabulous brilliant and genius, just about sums up Queen & Bowie. 😎
HEROES BY DAVID BOWIE AT LIVE AID 1985 IS ONE BOWIES BEST SONGS AT THIS IS AN AWESOME PERFORMANCR BY BOWIE.
As good as this song is, it is probably not the best showcase for David's true talent. Take a listen to Moodage Daydream, Suffragette City, Starman, Space Oddity, Rebel Rebel, The Jean Genie or Ashes to Ashes these will all give you a great insight into the genius of Davied Bowie.
You've probably heard plenty of Bowie songs, but just haven't realised.
There's so many classics
The weird thing is I was so young when that duo happened that it's as if it's been with me my entire life. You're so lucky, listening to it for the first as a young adult. Look after yourself and stay safe.
Never seen that performance and wow that was awesome
Not a fan of Queen but adored Bowie loved his music RIP both of them😢
Two of the very best.
