Hey, just an FYI/clarification on that "just one take": Fred didn't actually do the WHOLE song in one take (I know, most people think that he did, based on Brian's story in an interview). The story Brian shared was regarding the section of the song near the end that's full of REALLY HIGH notes... Brian was afraid the high notes would hurt Fred's throat. Fred replied "I'll F_____g do it, Darling!" ...He downed some vodka, and sang that really high section all-in-one-go.😇

As some one who suffers with two chronic illnesses that cause pain, nausea and extreme exhaustion, every time I think I can’t do something, I think of Freddie, literally dying of AIDS and barely able to walk, slamming back a glass of vodka and telling Brian “ok I’m gonna f*cking do it.” And recording this song in one single take. Then I get up pull myself together and do what I need to do. I have the word “darling” tattooed on my wrist in his handwriting from a letter he wrote to his fan club the year I was born. Looking at it in my hardest moments or before the multiple surgeries I have to undergo for my illnesses gives me strength and makes me feel that he is with me always in my fight.❤

How Freddie made it through this final recording is amazing. Knows he will soon be gone but still has the fight in him for one more go.

Freddie gave it 100% to the very end. While his vocal got a bit thinner during his final days, Freddie never lost his power, spirit or passion as he goes out with a spine-tingling "I'm never giving in, on with the show!"

7:00 - Scientists actually did a study a few years ago, looking at Freddie's voice and what made it so iconic and unique that so many people consider him one of the greatest singers ever. There's more to it than this, but the general reason is that Freddie's voice always retained a baritone vocal quality, even when singing near the top of his range. Freddie had a wide vocal range that went from low baritone all the way up to high tenor. That isn't all *_that_* uncommon in and of itself; many talented singers have ranges that are equally big or even bigger. However, most men with similarly wide ranges naturally sound more baritone/bass-like as they get lower, and more tenor-like as they get higher. Freddie didn't. He always sounded like a baritone, even when singing way up in the tenor range. But not like he was straining to hit the notes... it's just that the timbre of his voice stayed the same. You can see it in sound wave illustrations in the study. It's wild, and really pretty unusual.

Yeah it's a masterclass. It's like Freddie knew he was gonna die so gave his fans some of the very best he could produce at the time. Chills & heartbreaking.

The last video he did was "These are the Days of our Lives". He was barely able to stand and is horribly thin and fragile looking, but his voice is still magnificent. His final song was Mother Love, but he was only able to record the first verse before he died; Brian May finished recording the second half of the song.

Freddie's farewell song written by Brian may. Freddie did it in one take while dying.

This song is so full of heart ache and pain, so beautifully sung by Freddie, ( Queen) 😢

A great song! This is Freddie Mercury and Queen at their theatrical and bombastic best!! Even while in his final days the voice never quit! R.I.P. Freddie Mercury.

One of Freddie Mercury’s last gifts to the world was Queen’s “The Show Must Go On.” Written by Brian May in 1991, the song was the final track on Queen’s Innuendo. May feared his bandmate would be too ill to record the vocals, but Mercury downed a shot of vodka and declared, “I’ll f***ing do it, Darling.” It took him only one take. Legend.

HEY GUYS, Just a suggestion about your problems with having Queen videos blocked: Avoid the Official Queen Channel... If you do a YT search for ANY Queen/Freddie Mercury song/official music video/live performance, you can find the VERY SAME VIDEO... with remastered/upgraded HIGHER HD/BETTER video quality, posted from OTHER channels, because there are individual Queen fans out there (who are really talented and might remaster videos in their professional lives, IDK) who take the original videos, remaster/upgrade them, and post them on their own individually-owned channels. These videos are usually further down the YT search algorithm results, because they're newer/have lesser views than the originals from Queen's official channel... but they're actually BETTER quality, and they WON'T be blocked.

And they put the Rock into Disco movie Saturday Night Fever. Freddie RIP.

While it's a rocking song, it is also so very emotional. It's such a beautiful song. There is power, pleading, pain, and purpose in this song. It's an anthem for never giving up, but it also leaves you with an inherent recognition of how little time Freddie had. The band also pulled out all the stops and filled the song with equal passion, power and celebration of their own music and of Freddie's genius.

We All miss you Freddie Mercury 💔 You live in Our hearts Forever!!

Guitarist Brian May wrote this while lead singer Freddie Mercury was dying of AIDS. It was Mercury's last official album with Queen, and when it was released, very few people knew he had the disease. The lyrics are about the need to press on and make the most out of life while you can still enjoy it. It is inevitably a comment on Mercury's worsening condition, and his attitude towards life - May noted his incredible courage in the Days of our Lives documentary. "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."

I absolutely love this song, it's one of my favorites from Queen, and no matter how many times I listen to it, I cry every single time. I am crying typing this. Damn, I miss him. What a special guy.

I like how Queen dealt with the fact Freddie was not well enough to film a video for this song, by putting a montage of their different videos together and it actually became a very symbolic video as it showcased Freddie’s journey

Hi Jay & Amber. A suggestion to watch is their 15 min at Live Aid. They'd been off touring for a few yrs at the time & with that appearance, which was when the band knew of Freddie's condition, they showed why they were QUEEN!

Freddie hit notes, and sang lyrics, even during a late stage of HIV in ways nobody on this earth ever could…. This song is amazing, and he was going through hell physically, more than mentally at all, recording the last songs of his life in the last year (1990-1991) of his life

Just as a side note: when Jay and Amber pause the video, the image they stop on, the rings around the woman's head, this is a clip from Fritz Lang's masterpiece movie "Metropolis", made in 1927 and is considered a science fiction masterpiece. The original masters were cut into pieces and parts of the movie subsequently lost, but as footage has been found the movie can now be bought largely complete. How sad it is to think of Freddie's final months, sick and growing weaker as he knew he wasn't long on this earth anymore. But I like to think that he and his bandmates gave the gift of music to so many millions. He lived an incredible life, one that few will ever know.

"I'll face it with a grin, I'm never giving in, On with the show." That verse was as powerful as anything he ever did, especially considering the circumstances. R.I.P. Freddie.

this song is such the groove..it builds an atmosphere around the melodies structure. top shelf upper level song.

So beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time 😢

Knowing the story about this song, it just brings chills.

This song was released as a single from the Innuendo album on October 14, 1991. Freddie Mercury died November 24, 1991. Freddie was so sick when they recorded this song that guitarist Brian May, who did most of the writing on this song, doubted he could sing it. He told Brian, "I'll fucking do it," put down his glass of vodka, and went in the studio and flat out nailed it.

It's such an amazing performance from a man who knew he didn't have long to live. Beautiful. Heartbreaking.

I was a HUGE Queen fan, and when I heard of Freddie's diagnoses and his passing within hours of him acknowledging that he had AIDS, I felt like I had lost a close friend or an admired/loved family member. My oldest son got his love of Queen from me, so, years later when he was killed instantly in a workplace accident, I had 3 Queen songs (as well as a few other artist's we both liked) played at his funeral. They were this one (which one of his cousins insisted upon) and the two I knew he loved: "My Bijou" and "Who Wants to Live Forever". Both were from their very last album together, "Innuendo". For me, that album was just a masterpiece, made even more so because Freddie was SO sick and yet he struggled to perform as he did when he was young and healthy. I'm so happy that some of the younger generations are becoming more and more aware of Queen and Freddie.

This song is very telling of what Freddie was thinking and feeling. He knew he was running out of time and was still able to unleash insane vocals for the "Innuendo" album (plus any other songs that were finished posthumously).

When he mentioned this to him, Freddie Mercury took a shot of vodka and said, "I'll fucking do it, darling" and lacerated the vocals. Also, Freddie Mercury did the song in one take. Basically, Freddie Mercury sings from his soul. His voice is powerful and elicits emotion no matter the song.

Looking at Amber there at the end I could see in her eyes she was feeling it too! Powerful stuff. The other tearjerker from this album is The Days of Our Lives, written as a goodbye to all his fans, knowing he wasn't going to live much longer. 😭 It's a crime that Freddie had to leave this world when he did, how he did. This video is made up of many of their other music vids and as you can see you have a lot of songs to go! I Want To Break Free, I'm Going Slightly Mad, Headlong, Invisible Man, I Want It All, Hammer to Fall, One Vision, the Miracle, etc etc etc. If you ever do Who Wants To Live Forever, please make sure you get the extended cut, not the radio edit, there is some real beauty at the end that gets cut in the short version for no good reason.

This song is why I have "I'll fu____g do it, darling!" tattooed on my arm. If Freddie, so soon before his death, could give us /this/ masterpiece, what could I be able to do if I just didn't give up?

The Show Must Go On" is a song by British rock band Queen, featured as the twelfth and final track on their 1991 album, Innuendo. It is credited to Queen, but written mainly by Brian May. The song chronicles the effort of frontman Freddie Mercury continuing to perform despite approaching the end of his life, although his diagnosis with HIV/AIDS had not yet been made public in spite of ongoing media speculation claiming that he was seriously ill. When the band recorded the song in 1990, Mercury's condition had deteriorated to the point that May had concerns as to whether he was physically capable of singing it. May recalls; "I said, 'Fred, I don't know if this is going to be possible to sing.' And he went, 'I'll fucking do it, darling'-vodka down-and went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal". (wiki)

This song makes me tear up every time. We lost him and so many others way too soon. Talk about an absolute showman.

"These are the days of our lives" is one of the last songs and music videos that Freddie Mercury did. Some people say that it was a song for the love of his fans and a goodbye. Amazing talent gone to soon. Absolutely love Freddie Mercury and Queen!

If you've reacted to it and I just missed it, I apologize. If not, PLEASE put it at the top of your list, I promise you won't be disappointed!!

My heart aches whenever I see Freddie the last months of his life. He was a real trooper. I've lost family members and friends around the same time Freddie died. There were no meds to prolong their lives like today.

fred could apply rasp or smoothness on every spot he wanted. also his fast vibrato and tone were diverse. he was so dynamic, versatile and powerful. where are such vocalists today?

If you have not seen queens performance at live aid. It was his last show before he died. You seen the command of the crowd he has and his love to perform. It is a must watch!!

I feel this song by far is Freddie's best vocal performance. And the more you listen to the song, the more astonished you become by his voice.

My favorite song! It's such a beautiful, emotional, sad and at the same time inspiring song, it's makes me cry everytime.

And this, my friends, is why Freddie is everything. RIP angel 💔

These Are The Days Of Our Lives is now a must just weeks before the great Freddie passed Amber you will need tissues for this one RIP Freddie and thank you x

Still miss Freddie to this day 🥲 The ultimate performer ! Excellent track as always with Queen 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧

Queen is my favorite band of all times!! I'm glad you chose this song to react to! This was basically Freddie's goodbye song!
