Trivia
The song chronicles the effort of 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. Mercury was so ill when the band recorded the song in 1990 that May had concerns as to whether he was physically capable of singing it.

Outstanding Finale

The perfect send-off to the one of the greatest rock bands of all time, the video for "The Show Must Go On" is a massive compilation of all Queen music videos from the 1980's and early 1990's that it's perfectly edited to match with the song's movements and rhythm. Mercury, Deacon, May and Taylor in all of their glory through countless memorable and iconic moments from the band through the years, some outtakes from many videos and also some concert clips as well. Honestly, despite its hard rock tones this is the group at their saddest (musically speaking) and I only get the full appreciation of it due to the clip, outside of it it's a little hard to hear it - but it's great anyway. Groups usually get typical collection of clips when there's some news clip or some tribute to them, and they wished to reach something near this. Queen made it of this idea a spectacular final video, and one of their greatest moments of all time. 10/10.
