He was very sick when he recorded this that he could barely stand up. The others weren't sure if he even would be able to do it. Freddie said "I'll fucking do it, darling.", downed some vodka and, as you can hear, killed it 🥰 Brian May, the guitarist, wrote the song about what Freddie was going through. It's my absolute favorite Queen song and imo the best he ever did vocally. Amazing how he could sound like that when he was so sick. ❤❤❤

Breaks my heart every time I hear this song considering the state he was in while recording this song. The man was a global treasure who will never be replaced. Period.

Freddy... I think this man had the biggest heart and liveliness than anyone ever!! Absolutely the best of all time! "Does anybody really know what their living fir".. for freddy... right on that stage with his band and fans.. he lived for that

"I have to find the will to carry on" and Freddie has found it, he sang, sang and sang until he could. It is almost unbelievable what Freddie was capable of with his voice when he was already very ill. He was a musician and performer from top to toe.

This is such a great song written by Brian. Freddie was very ill but still wanted to sing so the guys kept bringing him songs. Freddie nailed it even though it was difficult for him to even stand.

Words can't express enough how sad this song actually is and so poignant he was dying 😢

Love this song. Never can go wrong with Freddie. Everyone knows a Queen song.

Queen and Freddie were simply masters of their art. No one and I mean no one come near them. As a lead man and vocalist, no one compares to Freddie.

Queen & Freddie mercury will always live forever.

Freddie was too sick by this time to film a video...so yes, a montage of their past videos

If I feel really down I play this and remember how brave Freddie was...so ill when he recorded this. If he could go on, being so desperately ill, then I can!

This is my favourite song. Deep, meaningful words. Quite inspirational not just the words but his battle and seeing that he left us this masterpiece

👍 yes. Queen 🙏

He was too sick to be in a video .. need to watch “These are the days” as this was his last video & both theses songs are like his epitaph.. RIP .. one of the best 😢

by the time this came out Freddie was sick, but there is one more video that he did called These Are The Days of our Lives. This video is sad leaves a lump in my throat. Yes, Queen still performed Adam Lambert was with them at one time. But there's just no replacement for Freddie

Freddie was literally dying when he recorded this track in 1990... it was the final track of the 'Innuendo' album in '91 which was the last Queen record before Freddie's death. He was too ill from AIDS to film music videos at the time... so this video was released for the single. The sentiment of the song was that life has to go on even after Freddie was gone😪 The members of Queen couldn't carry on without Freddie... but they honored him w/a Freddie Mercury tribute concert in early 1992... then they completed songs that Freddie had recorded in the studio for Queen's final album 'Made in Heaven' in 1995. Bassist John Deacon quit music after that... It wasnt until 2004 when guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor opted to tour w/ Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers as Queen+Paul Rodgers until 2009. Then, they teamed up w/ singer Adam Lambert, a huge Queen fan, to tour globally as Queen+Adam Lambert til today.

How time has flown. At 63 I grew up with queen. Amazing band who can beat freddies voice. They are all legends together. Yes I have tears rolling down my face.

Probably greatest frontman period

Legend and never ever will be forgotten

Such a GREAT voice, ... oh, yeah, Freddie's was too😉✌️🤘🖖

In case you do not know this song was composed knowing that Freddie had a few months to live, it is a memory of how great it was. Goodbye Freddie, Farewell.

The BEST singer ever. Why? He lived his life without social media. But you guys are very kind.

This song was written by Brian May for Freddie Mercury as this was how Freddie was feeling, it's from Freddie's heart to the world. Freddie was dying and was so ill that he couldn't stand for long periods of time but he sang this song in one take. This showed the strength and determination of this legend to do this song and finish his last Album before he died. He still is an inspiration, a legend and is still loved throughout the world. His music, his voice and his legendary status will live forever and will never die. RIP Freddie ❤💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

What you said is wonderful, “Freddie Mercury changed the world”. He really did, Freddie is deeply missed but he’ll live on forever through his music

To give some historical context, this video premiered on MTV within a few days after Mercury died from AIDS in November of 1991; almost 30 years ago.

Brian May penned this beauty with contributions made by Freddie!! Inspired by Freddie’s determination that “the show must go on” and finding the courage to carry on! It’s a very emotional connection to the Queenies!! The vocals are heartfelt and that’s why I don’t listen to any artists’ cover of this song! There can be only one Freddie Mercury!!! 👑🏆🥇

You really need to listen to the rest of his songs, esp the unknowns. I love Freddie, and did not start to understand what he was saying until he got ill. Then I bought a three pack of cd's of Queens Greatest/Best of, and some of his songs seemed to predict his demise, and we did not even know it. "Death on two legs", etc.... "Who wants to live forever", "Too much love will kill you".....

Rest in Peace Freddy 💔 You are an immortal Legend! Always been and always will be a Queen fan !

Wow,Julie you are so right ithink the same live this man he was so unic gave all for the fans it's abig list for us who loved him great personality I adore him ❤️ ❤️

Love this song. He showed the world. Great reaction guys

Queen and Freddie Mercury United in Heaven.

Such an amazing song

On with the Show....Forever Freddy! 🔥💝🔥

If you listen to the words he is actually singing about his impending death as he knew his time was up

Please please do Somebody To Love Montreal 81 it I think is one of the most AMAZING live performance EVER! He was Inspired by Aretha Franklin to write that song who he was a huge fan of and that live performance he takes it to CHURCH!!!!!!!

Another GREAT one that Freddie sang, not written by Queen, is The Great Pretender

When they recorded this, Freddie and the band knew he was dying . Please react to the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. Elton John performed this song with tears in his eyes.

You must take a look at Celine Dions redention, Show Must Go On! 2016! Love Freddie Mercury ❤

The best voice in the world 4ever 😪.....

It’s sad that Freddie was dying when this was recorded & his final video was “These Are The Days Of Our Lives”, which y’all should react to as well. Freddie looked bad when this was released so Queen opted to use footage of past videos and concerts. Freddie Mercury was the best pure singer and performer of all time. The man was dying and he still sang his ass off. If you listen to this, the words are saying he’s dying but “the show must go on”. Great reaction!

This is so sad because we all knew that he was dying, but there was no admission that it was down to AIDS . He died 24th November 1991 aged 45. Lots of folks don't realise that he was not only a singer, but a composer, lyricist, artist and fashion designer. Super, super talented bloke.

This was one of the last songs he recorded. The video is a compilation of previous videos. One of my favorite queen songs.

Freddie is my hero 👑 my first love-😇

This song is so powerful. They used bits from other shows and videos because he was very weak at this point of his life. After Freddie died they released a album with un heard songs and went on stage with a host of other artists for a Freddie tribute concert.

another fun video for you guys to check out by Queen would be "I'm Going Slightly Mad". Very fun. This is the last FULL Queen song that Freddie sang on. He did sing on one more, but guitarist Brian May had to sing the last chorus in "Mother Love" because Freddie had passed before it could be completed by him

Legends never die they only get bigger.

Mel my dear if you like the female Freddie, you should check out Freddie's version of The Great Pretender and see his stunning red haired backing singer 😍

Great reaction...Freddie is true talent

He knew he was dying, but gave us his best,

Check out I want it all official video, and Now I'm here live at Wembley so great!

Queen still lives on! Although John the bassist left the group when Freddie died, Brian and Roger now tour with Adam Lambert.

He was dying when he sang this.

MORE QUEEN!!!

he said after live aid it was like gargling with glass but no one would ever have guessed he just kept smiling and gave it everything he had he had damaged his leg and aggrivated it when he fell on stage but he quickly changed the set sat at the piano got through a few songs to finish the concert then went to hospital! many times he was going through difficult times but kept the show going!

This was from the last album that Queen recorded together before Freddie died.

You love everything Freddie does. Did you know 😂😂😂😂At one ehhh friends get together😉 where they had little people with trays strapped to their head filled with nose beers. He took a young gentleman into another room because the music was to loud. After 4 hours pasted the door opened with fred escorting the guy out the room and proclaimed, "listen my darlings I seem to have broke this one, be a dear and fetch another".😂😂😂😂

It’s a testament to how well they all knew & understood each other. Brian wrote this for Freddie, as well as for himself, John & Roger. It was how they confronted what they were facing. Freddie’s death & the demise of the band itself. Roger & Brian eventually continued on. John couldn’t do it & retired. Looking forward to you discovering their catalogue. 👍

2 years after Freddy passed....Made in heaven...came out ! i guess it s my favorite album ! you must hear some songs from ..Made in Heaven! ... please...i m getting emotional just writing it !

Awesome talent‼‼‼👍

Great reaction. Queen still tours (with the exception of the pandemic interruption).

One of Queens best album's!

as a kid, the girl version of freddie gave me nightmares^^ a woman with a mustache??? JEEEESUS 😱🤣

These songs were his swan song !

This song was about his impending death which he knew was coming. The world lost a great one when we lost Freddie... These are the days of our lives was actually Freddie's last video, he loved his fans.

Great reaction guys ❤Freddie was already in so bad health condition and he still didn't give up! How many people would do it if they we in this state of health. Never give up 💗 keep trying. React please to INNUENDO ❤ it's amazing phenomenal song. ❤🌹🤴 It's from same album called INNUENDO

He recorded this song pretty much on his deathbed. Such a legend and he will be in my heart forever

Moulin Rouge did a great version of this song❣️

You guys nailed it

One Vision (official video) and One Vision (live) both excellent! Also Dragon attack (live) and Now I’m Here (live) all amazing!

A bitter pill,hard too swallow. What a legend.

This song was recorded when Freddy was dying of AIDS. He did this song in one take. The rumor is Freddy walked into the recording studio very ill. When asked if he was up to the recording he slammed a vodka and said," Let's do this darling " He then went on to record the track. True legend!

Tremendously sad but so perfect an ending to the last album.

The reason he shows his arse to the audience is because two brothers named Sheffield swindled them out of a lot of money, early on in their career....so every time he does that it’s to remind the Sheffield’s of what they missed...Freddie..one of a kind..no one like him🤩

Freddie was no longer able to write songs and he begged Brian to write him songs to sing...so Brian wrote a song about what Freddie must have been feeling near the end of his life. He sang until a few months before the end of his life. He pretty well did this song in ONE take. He was amazing. Do not watch THES ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES (there is a 10 minute doc on the song too) until the end of your Queen journey ...too sad but Freddie had decided to do the video because he wanted to say goodbye to his fans and tell them he loved. He looked terrible - tons of makeup to hide his cancerous sores which were all over his body and layers of clothing to hide how emaciated he was but he was a strong person and never complained. He even lot most of one foot and you can see his gait when he walks...go back to happier times...do: NOW I'M HERE and LOVE OF MY LIFE, both live at Wembley...both totally amazing for different reasons: one mad, mad energy and the other mad control over the audience

Innuendo video is the best, in my opinion only. 🇬🇧

To be clear. .. I've heard too many opinions or interpretations about who did what, how and when, and not only about that particular song. This was not a message from Freddie to the other members of the band. It was exclusively written and composed by doctor Brian May for Freddie. And Brian was "under pressure" because he was not sure that Freddie was still strong enough to deliver such a powerful song. I let you check what the rest of the story is all about.✌

Balls on the man. I’ll face it with a grin Iam never giving in…

You must see "the show much go on " cover by Cakra Khan ..👍👍👍..

Not sure if you've done these are the days of our lives but if you haven't please do it was to me his goodbye to the one he loved and it will bring treats to your eyes love the channel ty

Pensar que no llegó a cantarla en vivo😢 Freddie 🌠💫✨

They are still playing but it’s only 2 of them that’s doing it. When Freddie Mercury passed away the bass player (with the red hair) retire, because when Freddie Mercury passed away he got really really depressed. They are still doing the old school’s that Freddie Mercury did, that’s all I know

Love you from Great Britain x x x

The video is a montage of Queen clips thru the years as Freddie was too ill to do a video when the song was released...The song was released one month before Freddie's death...

Freddie is how you spell his name.

While Queen did eventually put out a final album like four years later, using the remaining vocals of Freddie plus "Queenifying" a couple of great Freddie solo tunes, they did also release one last song completely without and pointedly ABOUT Freddie: "No One But You." Worth checking out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbJ7rMSAsciWdqc.html

Check out "Barcelona" by Freddie and Monsaratt Caballe

Give a listen to Freddie singing A Winter's Tale 🎶🎵

Brian did the main composition,using Roger and Johns chord sequence and also inspiration from pachelbels canon which may have been suggested by Freddie as that was more his style of music but it doesn't say,their producer Richards suggested the key change in the second verse in a few interviews brian clearly implies he was writting it with freddie but did most of the work to finish it up and demo it we worked out the theme..thrashed out the lyrics,we knew what we were writting but didn't talk about it...theme was about a broken hearted clown but carries on with the show.. which is the theme of vesti la guibba which Freddie used as inspiration musically for the begining of his song it's a hard life and that was very much Freddies attitude many times through his career but especially when he was ill Brian said they solidified the first verse but had enough material to complete the two last verses and brian added butterfly wings after their session

The best song everytime

To think 6months later he was gone. He was to ill to do a video. A dying freddie can sing his heart and soul out. Brian may wrote this for freddie as a good bye song to his fans. It was the last song on his last album. Yes queen are still going but although amazing as they are. Brian and Roger are the only 2 original members. The bass player never returned to queen after Freddie died. But to be honest their music is never boring they have so many styles and freddie brought that with songs such as Barcelona and living on my own. The variety in their music is unparalleled by any other bands. There's just no one out there that can touch queen which is why after all these years their music is still so popular. The last video freddie did by the way was these are the days of our lives. It was filmed in black and white to try and hide how ill looking he was. I always choke up at the end with his final line. He looks you in the eye and says i love you. And you know he means the fans gets me every time.

👍👍

In the early 2000s Queen toured with Paul Rogers from BadCompany they have a live dvd check out Queen w/Paul Rogers. Driving my car. And Say it ain't so. Beautiful song. S&M SQUAD ROCKS. ✌🤘❤

Try Barcelona and/or How can I go on. Or a tribute song "No-one but you (only the good die young)". Pliizz

Brilliant But Very Sad At The Same Time Makes Me Reflect A Lot. Loved Your Review😊👍

Bro imagine knowing your dying and singing like this

Queen only the good die young

Queen did continue after Freddie with Adam Lambert :)

you need to watch the official " innuendo " video. like this song better than bohemian rhapsody.

Great Reaction. 😀👍❤️✌️🌼
