"The Show Must Go On" is a song by the English rock band Queen, featured as the twelfth and final track on their 1991 album Innuendo. It is credited to Queen, but written primarily by Brian May. The song chronicles the effort of Freddie Mercury continuing to perform despite approaching the end of his life; he was dying from complications due to AIDS, although his illness had not yet been made public in spite of ongoing media speculation claiming that he was seriously ill. Mercury was so ill, and could barely walk, when the band recorded the song in 1990, that May had concerns as to whether he was physically capable of singing it. Recalling Mercury's performance, May states; "he went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal".

It was released as a single in the United Kingdom on 14 October 1991 in promotion for the Greatest Hits II album, just six weeks before Mercury died. Following Mercury's death on 24 November 1991, the song re-entered the British charts and spent as many weeks in the top 75 (five) as it did upon its original release, initially reaching a peak of 16. A live version with Elton John on vocals appeared on Queen's Greatest Hits III album.
The song was first played live on April 20, 1992, during The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, performed by the three remaining members of Queen, with Elton John singing lead vocals and Tony Iommi playing rhythm guitar. It has since been played live by Queen + Paul Rodgers with Rodgers citing one of the performances as the best of his career. Since its release, the song has appeared on television, film, and has been covered by a number of artists.

In the team were gathered young and promising singers with a varied taste in music. From the first performance given the jury of the project and many of the audience recognized the "Indigo" as favorite show. At various times during the project being on the leading position, the choir of "Indigo" finished second out of seven choirs participating, second only to the choir of Kaunas (in the final of the commission did not have the right to vote, voted only viewers, and city Panevežys, who represented the "Indigo" had to give way to much bigger population of Kaunas.) However, many experts have recognized that the quality and variety of arrangements, in choral sound and vocal data soloists, choir of "Indigo" should rightly be called the true winner of the project. To date, the chorus of "Indigo" - one of the few teams that continue to work at the end of the "Choir Wars". We successfully performed in various cities of Lithuania, the choir are invited to participate in television programs. The team is preparing to release a CD recording new songs for the radio, in parallel preparing a new program for the recital.
