Queen - The Show Must Go On (Official Video) 

Mother Love is the voice of a man about to die but still strong as ever.

Thank you for this comment full of beauty and respect ♥️

You damn right.

Thank you so much. His voice will never become weak.

Очень сильная мысль

QUEEN, 100%FREEDI MERCURY!!!!!

Okay..

100% ur right u will

+ Respect

True the show must go on

Yes me, thank you, friend. This is one of their best songs. I think Breaktru, The Show Must go on and Innuendo are their best 3. Although, Under Pressure and Bohemian are very good as well. But especially the ending of this song is magical.

Yes we are here ❤️

Always here for Freddie ❤

@@mchoen186 Yes, I agree with you. without forgetting “we are the champions” and “another one bites the dust”. I could listen to these songs forever.

Until my last breath. Freddie is forever love

He was a true BADASS

He didn't record it in one take. One of the biggest misconceptions of Queen and Freddie ever

@@jacobpaulson23 Prove it.

@@ascentfevers I don't have to, Brian already has.

​@@jacobpaulson23 Well, thanks. I guess I'll stick to trying to search about it with the right word for a few hours.

you are wrong, the world win a legend .

A legend was born

He was a icon ,Legend he was everything!

Hi didn't die!! He went back to the stars where he came from!😉

mj also was good, but he probably broke his leg in 1996 and died 2009, but THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!!!

Absolutely

Это шедевр.

Yeeesssssiiiirrrr one of the best songs out there

Whatttttt

yeah! a real hero !

Yes darling Freddie, you certainly did it.❤😢❤😢❤

Вряд ли кто то восполнит потерю !! Это легенда!

I covered this song pls give it a listen ❤

You forgot the part where he slammed a shot of vodka. Absolute legend.

he is a legend!

He was a Vocalist And a Legend 😅👍

F :(

Happy birthday to a real performer and legend! Love you MR Mercury

happy birthday to freddie mercury u,w,u

Would have been good to see him grow old. Would have...

Would give anything to have seen Queen live

yes thats true 😊

Well that's because i suck lmao...

@@highdatalore2139 no. You dont

Freddie was onto something.

@@highdatalore2139 we all suck, that's what makes us worth it, cuz we don't give up despite our fears and insecurities and flaws, whether perceived or objective As a fascist once said, we descend from people who faced tremendous odds again and again

+james hartley then you will wait forever dude :)

No-one will ever top Queen!

+james hartley , No one will ever top them. that being said, MUSE comes pretty close in my opinion. their song "survival" , amongst others, sounds very Queen-like.

Didi Gomez muse! how strange i just had them on!

Paul Wesley Lewis felt? you mean WAS!

Best singer =\= Best voice He is the Best singer for his ability to transmit feelings

Meh do you now Joakim Broden? 😂

@@mjvybz Its okay to say Whitney Houston. Voices are just sounds and who prefers which sound depends on them. Just my opinion but I prefer Freddie.

Not even in the top 10.

@@ct0332 You didnt need to reply sucker.

This song got me through a tough time in the early 90s. It's amazing to see that I'm not the only one who knows it anymore..

I think you are the one that always commenting in lucid dream video right?

That’s why the show must go on its my favorite queen song ☺️☺️

It was the day before his death

@@ignitionbot9915 this song was definitely not recorded day before his death. The last song he recorded was Sweet Mother Love, where in the last part is Brian singing as Freddie never came back to studio to finish the song.

@@ignitionbot9915 Show Must Go On was recorded in 1990. However, it was released weeks before his passing (Oct 1991 vs. he died Nov 1991 ). "Mother Love" is actually the last song he recorded, he did the vocals for Brian May just mere months before his death, singing it May 1991, a few months before his passing.

It’s my favorite too and I’m only 13 😢😭

still the best singer, even after his death, I still adore him and love him

F

Robixino for me he is queen sorry but Adam Lambert will never equal queen to me had to be the original line up for me ! Have to thank my big brother for introducing me to them with radio Gaga when I was around ten ! My nieces love them to their fave song is we are the champions whilst mine is love of my life it’s just a lovely ballad .

Mrjhosue 19 I love Fred

I dont know but when its nov 24 last last week i worn yellow t shirt i dont know i just feel like it, i just noticed it when i played this song while playing games in my cellphone after our practice

Same

This song was not recorded in one take by Freddie

Me too 😭😭😭😭😭🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Freddie is legend. R.I.P.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@silviebemova3856 what da hell is this > 🤞

It is because Freddie knew his fate.

Amblemi değiştir

🤩🤩🤩

I think Brian may wrote it. He said to Fred not to worry about performing it as he was in so poor health . I belive Fred necked a vodka and said let's do it. Then came up with this on deaths door. So impressive

@@thenorthernvoice3713 Brian has said in a lot of interviews even on tv that they wrote it together

@@bluebell3720 I didn't know that Freddie also wrote this song, I thought it was just Brian for Freddie. If you have any of those interviews please share it I want to see it!!. Thanks

@@thenorthernvoice3713 I dont understand why Brian explained it this way. It was for the Innuendo album it would have been a huge waste of their time if it wasn't used. If Freddie couldnt do it all they had to do was lower it its not as if anyone else could do it. Brian did the demo and explained he wasn't able to sing it in chest voice only falsetto To sing words in high range is a challenge for a good singer nevermind one who's very ill. On different articles it says roger and john were jamming on others it includes Freddie which seems more likely Their rhythm chord is what he used in the song as well as pachelbels canon which seems more like Freddie than Brian and richards suggssted a key change Itv 2014 Brian said it was about a sad clown whos smile is painted on and they he and Freddie hammered out the words Brian does tend to contradict himself a lot though About this song he has said both that they did and didnt discuss the lyrics as in the meaning But he has said a lot they wrote it together Express that they spent the afternoon together and solidified the first verse and had enough to finish the last two verses and later added wings of a butterfly The theme of the clown probably came from Freddie as the intro to hard life is from Vesti la giubba about a heart broken clown painted smile as the show must go on! And its very much Freddie attitude in life especially when he was very ill keep smiling and on with the show! Edit Sing (words)High range 'In chest voice'

Nothing can describe the genius behind the creation of this song. Nothing comes close today.

Great movie, won't be surprised if Rami Malek isn't nominated for best actor.

I loved it. ❤️😍 It was so worth going to see just hear the music through the theaters speakers. 🔊🎶

@@TheSeancassady They're going to win an Oscar for the reproduction of the Live Aid show alone.

You're making me cry more

Saw it last night! My husband was ready to leave the theatre but when I heard the strings I told him sit back down! Lols. this is one of my fave queen songs, I wasnt gonna miss it. Got misty eyed as the credits were rolling :(:(:(

🤩🤩🤩

Lone Star he can show you how brave to handled his disease

His dead on the song mother love

The thing is it did kill him in their last song mother love he was basically half dead making and one day before it was done he said "I'll finish the song tomorrow" but he never woke up and thats why brian sang the last verse and you can hear the sadness in his voice

Lone Star couldn’t have put it better myself . Another line that stands out : whatever happens I’ll leave it all to chance meaning he’s prepared to take whatever life is throwing at him and live on .

He still lost 😔

That's not an opinion. That's a fact

I'm sure it's one of the best songs of the history.

@@ilmappatoresarnese7653 of corse 😂

True

Il Mappatore Sarnese Definitely!

oh, you from Greece? I have aunt in Edessa and i from Czech Republic

Freddie died of AIDs, or did he commit suicide? I feel like it's a mandela effect thing..

it's awesome

Αγγελος Ταγουζης singing for god.

Outside the dawn is breaking but inside in the dark I'm aching to be free.

Buy he's not dead bicause legend never die and god want best singer his band❤❤❤😭 but he is rock-Legend. Big L❤😭

And also in one take, true fucking legend dear

27 years since his death today. Not sure if there has ever been a greater statement of sheer defiance in music than this gut wrenching song right here. Makes me cry even more than These are the days of our lives does!

GlutenFreeGabe a true legend indeed 🥇

That's why this is my favorite song

Hope she's listening to Freddie's concert right now.

Mine too

Sorry for ur loss

Sorry

😑

Hi the last one was Mother Love

More so that he apparently did it in one take.

How the fuck do you think a song so complex was done with only one vocal take??? One take was the hard bit at the end of the song... Complex song are made in bits and pieces.

Rover Waters It was actually in 3 takes. Brian said Freddie nearly couldn't stand up and told Freddie he thought it would not be possible for him to do it which Freddie answered "I'll fucking do it, Darling" then he took a shot of vodka and went for it. "He'd sing it, sing again and one last time and that was it, he went in and killed it, completely lacerated those vocals" - Brian may

so that climatic bit was tried 3 times...

Oh you're so right, another spiritual existence I hope I get to🙂

fuck that's cringe

Prince on lead.

exactly, Ms Jen.

how to get ticket?

Do whatever you want with my music, just don’t make it boring.

@@roverwaters3875 Mybe he wrote the lyrics in one take, I don't know. Still he was a fucking legend

@@roverwaters3875 nope. He was sick and so they played it in one take. Edit:Wait I'm dumb. But he did it in one sitting

@@bigwheelfromspidamahn1037 I'm stating a fact not an opinion. Freddie did not record the vocal track in one take

brian had doubts freddie could handle the vocal but freddie nailed it...wasnt in one take though

+ebud1980 god just wanted a live performance of under pressure.

I thought god didn't like the gays tho

+Micheal Jackson god also doesn't like druggies tbh

+Micheal Jackson Probably he does, both gays and druggies, why else 'd he give them the best voices? (and some other music too, of course, also some too other people, if he exist, he seem to like everyone. but seriously, why did he put on free will???? Stupis as f*** :,D

+Micheal Jackson I thought god didn't like pedophiles tho

Always the show must go on

Freddie always with us , people go , but music lives forever .

You right!😭

After Freddie died, THIS song, to me, was THE Queen song. A song of poignant beauty.

@@VauxhallViva1975 this song was the coup de grace of Freddie Mercury and he gave it he all

Amazingly strong

I really wish he was here to today because he was an amazing person.

"I'll fucking do it, darling"

Justin Bieber: I have a cold, I can't perform tonight. Lemmy and Freddie: that's cute kid.

I don't think this is recorded in the studio I think they brought the studio to him in the hospital I could be wrong

Der größte mega Star aller Zeiten!!!

In only one take

Why is this song hard to sing?

pure love i don’t know maybe the powerful high notes....... but that’s just a thought...

Martin incredible isn’t it? I did read somewhere that the guys were worried about sick Freddy was. But he said he would take a couple shots of vodka and be fine.

@@yehhshhs a talented singer could pull it off, but it's not about the technical performance of the song: Freddie's soul went into this performance. I get chills every time, knowing this is the goodbye letter of a dying man giving an emotional performance untouchable by mortals. This song is a refection of the courage Freddie faced his final days with. It's a difficult song because of the emotion behind it.

almost like he really could see the end coming, and this was just his way of telling everyone adios, don't worry me and keep on enjoying life

It was the last song on the last album they released before Freddy died. They knew! The band wasn’t sure if he could sing. Brian May thinks it’s one of his best performances.

Skippy Meer yeah they didn’t think he could sing anymore due to having AIDS but Freddie chugged some vodka and said, “I’ll fucking do it.” I heard he aced it on the first go

Skippy Meer ik so inspirational

Freddie Mercury, the greatest singer ever discovered.

In some respects you're right too. Mother Love was recorded about 5 months before he died, in June.

Freddie**

In some respects you're right too, but I believe it was 10 days before he died.

CRIMSON KID

Actually, Freddie recorded "Mother Love" in (between?) 13-16 May. In June, he must have returned to his home in Kensington where he spent the rest of his life.

The show must go on forever!

That it does.

Yeahhhhhhhhhh

Freddie wouldn't have wanted to see us cry on his songs. He wanted all of us to be happy and belong. So let's be happy and love his courage

I will in my future generations, I'm going to tell my kids to pass Freddie's Music through the generations

Was It All Worth It is more emotional... This is the band's goodbye to Freddie... Was It All Worth It is his goodbye to us :(

Heartbreaking! Freddie Mercury will always live in our hearts. Show is Going on.

So very true Maria. . .

love u fred u helped me through rough times but its time too say goodbye...

Maria B I can’t I hate watching videos of Freddie close to his death it makes me cry

The climax was performed in one take,still crazy ,because the vocal line is insanely hard

Makes the meaning of the song so much more real! The greatest showman in history

My uncle who passed in the mid 90s from HIV complications admired Freddie. Looking at his old pictures, he looked just like young Freddy Mercury with his slick hair and mustache. I wish I would've had more time with him on the earth, I can't help but think of him every time I hear Queen. Truly Freddy Mercury meant so much to so many people.

Youre right. This song breaks my heart but at the same time it is a masterpiece and heaven to my ears

You hit the nail on the head with a sledge hammer!

Brian May said Freddie was so weak at this time he could barely stand and he was amazed he could preform despite how weak he was at that time

I actually cried the first time I listened to this song 😭

@@benpezzot8805 did you mean when he's making this song? if so, that's freaking impressive that he can perfectly sing this song at that time with his conditions.

Probably only after Freddie died, no one knew he had AIDS until the day before he died. Only then would this song becoming "trending"

toootaaalyy

I’d wager it’d be in the trillions

Lol at bohemian tapsody it has billions of views time doesn't matter

I totally agree

Beer* i love you freddieee

Clerence Manansala before recording The Show Must go on, he was close to death, he could barely stand on his feet, but he drank some vodka and he said “fuck, I will do it”, and he recorded this masterpiece. This is why vodka and not beer!

@@4esposito the exact quote was "I'll fucking do it, darling" when Brian May expressed doubt that he could reach the top notes of the chorus. Then he drank a measure of vodka and recorded this entire song in one take.

innuendo was released in february 1991, and the show must go on was recorded in 1990

Xaleez he was already in AIDS, very sick and not able to speak perfectly or stand up :)

Wouldn’t even live 2 months after it’s release

I always thought how sad that he wrote it when he was so I'll, then I found out Brian wrote it and it was even more heartbreaking

he wasnt in the death bed yet, he was when it was november 1991
