With its vulnerable vocal, tender keys, understated acoustic guitar solo and indelible melody, “Too Much Love Will Kill You” is a standout from Brian May’s 1992 solo album, Back to the Light.
Ushering in the remastered re-release of the album on August 6, the track is made available on July 30.
Originally emerging as a single on August 24, 1992, it earned Brian a solo hit when it reached No 5 in the UK Singles Chart. Ahead of that release, a visibly moved and note-perfect May previewed it before some 72,000 fans at Wembley Stadium’s Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in April 1992, perhaps cementing a misunderstanding about its origins.
“My excuse for singing it is, I think, it’s just the best thing I have to offer”, said May, by way of his on-stage introduction to the song.
His reason for singing it was not, as was often thought, that he wrote the song about the legendary Queen singer, who had died in 1991. The song has its origins back in 1986-7, when Brian wrote it with the help of a friend, eminent songwriter Frank Musker. May was in Los Angeles at the time, “far away from home” and in a “tangled state of mind”, trying to find some release from a period of profound personal upheaval.
