Paul Jack Griffiths is playing the show must go on ... @Ill soon be turning round the corner now .... xx Queen with 1991s The Show Must Go On in the remember remix .... dedicated to & made to celebrate the memory of dear Freddie Mercury ... written by Queen produced by Queen and David Richards released on the 14th of October in 1991 made by ... Freddie on lead vocals Brian on electric guitar, keyboards and backing vocals Roger on drums and backing vocals John on bass guitar The Show Must Go On is a song by Queen, it 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 Freddie continuing to perform despite approaching the end of his life, although his illness had not yet been made public in spite of ongoing media speculation claiming that he was seriously ill. Fred was so ill and could barely walk when the band recorded the song in 1990 that Brian had concerns as to whether he was physically capable of singing it. Recalling Freds performance Brian states that he went in and killed it completely lacerated that vocal..It was released as a single in the United Kingdom on the 14th of October in 1991 in promotion for the Greatest Hits II album just six weeks before fred died. Following Mercurys death on 24 November 1991, the song re-entered the British charts and spent as many weeks in the top 75 as it did upon its original release initially reaching a peak of no:16. The song was first played live on the 20th of April 1992 during The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert performed by the three remaining members of Queen with Elton John singing lead vocals and Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi playing rhythm guitar. Since its release the song has appeared on television film and has been covered by a number of artists. The Show Must Go On came from Roger and John playing the sequence and I started to put things down. At the beginning it was just this chord sequence but I had this strange feeling that it could be somehow important, and I got very impassioned and went and beavered away at it. I sat down with Freddie and we decided what the theme should be and wrote the first verse. Its a long story that song but I always felt it would be important because we were dealing with things that were hard to talk about at the time, but in the world of music, you could do it...... Brian May in 1994 .... whatever happens Ill leave it all to chance another heartache another failed romance on and on, does anybody know what we are living for I guess Im learning I must be warmer now Ill soon be turning round the corner now outside the dawn is breaking but inside in the dark Im aching to be free the show must go on the show must go on Inside my heart is breaking my make up may be flaking but my smile still stays on my soul is painted like the wings of butterflies fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die I can fly my friends the show must go on the show must go on Ill face it with a grin Im never giving in on with the show Ill top the bill Ill overkill I have to find the will to carry on on with the, on with the show the show must go on... go on... go on ....
