This song was Freddie last chance saying goodbye to his fans, because Queen Band still there even he died. It's personal message from Freddie but the Band decided not to credited this song to an individual. Freddie messages was, he was very regretted and wished can turn back time, like the old times he was put a show on stages. He love to sing, wrote song's, he liked it very much more than anything, he can tell everything and anything trough a song. He was very very regrets about what his doing in social life (you all know what I'm saying). He was regrets and he just want to came back doing perform on stages, he was sorry for his death and he still love his fans. He wish could turn back time, but he knew he can't, he just can regret it. Goodbye Freddie....
The look on Freddie's face when he says "I still love you" at the end...Ugh It always pierces my soul! We were so Blessed to have Freddie!! He is Always Missed and Never Forgotten!! He'll always be a Legend. RIP Freddie!!
Freddie always gave his profession all he had. This last viideo he did was the same. He fought hard to complete it and put everything he had into it. And it is fantastic. We still love you Freddie!
Having seen Freddie at the band's peak, and seeing him still putting his heart into this song, is so heartbreaking. It's a great song on its own, but so moving with Freddie singing it. Freddie was the ultimate performer to the very end!
This song by the band Queen was released as a double A-side in the UK in December 1991, after the death of Freddie Mercury. It entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 1 and remained there for five weeks. It also received a Brit Award for Best Single in 1992. The accompanying video was the last to feature Freddie and was released in black and white to hide the full extent of his illness. With a knowing farewell look straight at the camera, Freddie whispers “I still love you” as the song ends, which were his last ever words on camera.
The video was filmed on May 30, 1991. It was Freddie Mercury's last filmed performance, as he died on November 24 of that year. Unreleased backstage footage of the shooting of the video appeared in the Days of our Lives documentary, showing Mercury's deteriorating physical condition (extremely skinny and pale) largely covered up by makeup and colorful attire. Brian May speculated in the documentary that Freddie was "saying his goodbye" in that video, knowing that he would likely not be healthy enough to perform anymore. The song was originally written by Roger Taylor about his children, and how parenthood made him look back on his own life. Inevitably, the song took on new meaning when it was announced that Freddie Mercury had AIDS and knew he was going to die soon when he recorded this. Mercury did not tell the public about his disease until shortly before he died. It's highly likely this was also on Taylor's mind when he wrote the lyrics - Mercury told the band and manager Jim Beach about his AIDS diagnosis in 1987, but ordered them to keep it secret. Brian May described it in the Days of our Lives documentary: "We hid everything. I guess we lied! Because we were trying to protect him." Freddie Mercury made sure the band worked on this song despite his illness. He wanted to make music until he was no longer physically capable, and with the band not touring due to Mercury's health, they spent a lot of their time in the studio working. Mercury insisted on the band giving him music and lyrics, and he would continue to record for as long as his health permitted. His bandmates speculated that recording helped Mercury deal with the illness. Queen drummer Roger Taylor wrote this. All four members of the band contributed songs individually, but in 1989 they began crediting any song to "Queen" instead of giving individual songwriting credit. In the UK, this was released as a double A-side single with the re-released "Bohemian Rhapsody." Profits from the single, which went to #1 in the UK, went to AIDS research as a tribute to Mercury. Although Roger Taylor mimes the Conga Percussion in the video, it was recorded by the producer David Richards. Roger played a regular drum kit (as in Freddie's Tribute concert), and the keyboard part was programmed by all four of them in the studio. George Michael and Lisa Stansfield sang this together at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Arena in 1992. In a 2018 Billboard interview Stansfield recalled the experience: "Everybody who did that show was just so famous at the time. It was like, legends all over the place, but nobody had an ego. The rehearsals were quite subdued. I remember at the rehearsals I was gonna do the thing with George, and I went and got myself a big bacon roll because I was starving. I had on one of Ian's [Devaney, her husband and bandmate] coats and a big hat on. I really did look like a homeless person, buried in a bacon sandwich. Then I had to go do this thing with George, and he said, 'F--king hell, how can you go eat bacon and [sing like] that?'" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H9rx_VVNaH8.html
He did not tell the band until 89' and that was only because he couldn't hide his health ..and the members were clearly speculating about his health. John even asked about the Kaposi Sarcoma patches...but was told they were liver spots. The only person who knew from 87 was Jim Beach. This was in the documentary and in interviews... He did however tell Montserrat in 88 because he did not want her to kiss him on the lips when greeting, she said she thought she had upset him because he told her they could not kiss anymore... and he told her why. Hence telling her he would not be here to sing Barcelona for the 1992 Olympics. Mary knew before anyone as the doctor called her because Freddie would not return his calls re the test results. Mary knew it had to be serious. So she knew first, right from the get go. Peter and Jim were told later, as Peter Freestone said he kept wo during what the quiet talk and whispering was about and felt quite left out. Even to the point he was talking of moving out!! To me just seems he felt a bit peeved that he was not being told something...
If you haven't seen the Home movies of Freddie giving a Christmas party at his house in 1989 its very good, and he was very sick. In one clip he says can you believe it this house has 5 bathrooms I can crap all over the place. And it shows the bed he would eventually die in and he knew it
