damn good song

[jig-sore]

heard this on the radio today an i was nearly in tears (not a good thing at work )

an old favorite that I'd not heard for a while

perfect for anyone who's at that age when the years start to fly by and you realise your life is actually very short....

i give you.... Queen, these are the day of our lives...

Fab track indeed.

I have always thought that Freddie looks rough on that video, thin, gaunt, lifeless and I don't think he moves his feet at all, much the same as the videos for the other tracks on the album, even I'm Going Slightly Mad, which is one of my top Queen tracks. I can't figure out if he really does look rough or I'm ascribing him with the symptoms of a disease which he didn't admit to having at the time.

Superb entertainer, though, who still brings pleasure to millions, Innuendo was a classic swan song album, from the title track to The Show Must Go On.

yes he certainly looks ill in the vids for this album, how long after this did he pass away?

a good album but "these are the days" was always my favorite track with "I'm going slightly mad" a close second, although for different reasons as they are totally different styles of song.

... how long after this did he pass away?

Not sure when the videos were filmed. The single Innuendo was released in January '91 and Freddie died towards the end of November. I don't think that they made a video for "The Show Must Go On", presumably Freddie was already too ill by that stage as it only came out as a single in October.

queen

Think these are the days was filmed in July, ie 4 months before he died
Slightly mad was filmed in the spring

The show must go on is one of the finest songs ever
