Freddie Mercury was so ill when the band recorded the song "The Show Must Go On" in 1990 that Brian May was concerned about whether he could sing it.
Recalling Freddie's performance, Brian says, "The melody called for some very demanding top notes, and I'd only been able to demo them in falsetto. I told Freddie, 'I don't want you to strain yourself—this stuff isn't going to be easy in full voice, even for you!'
"Freddie told me, 'Don't worry—I'll fucking nail it, darling!'
"I said, 'Fred, I don't know if this is going to be possible to sing.' And he went, 'I'll fucking do it, darling,' vodka down, and went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal.
"Freddie propped himself up against the mixing desk and... delivered one of the most extraordinary performances of his life. In the final mix of 'The Show Must Go On,' when you get to 'On with the show,' you are listening to a man who conquered everything to deliver his finest work."
—Brian May
