[@aricp9173]

They got to see a rough screener of the film from what I remember (that's been years ago so the memory's blur over time) and then there's this from wiki: Brian May was inspired to write "Who Wants to Live Forever" after watching the love scenes between Connor and his wife Heather, which the song ultimately accompanied on the film. Most of the songs for Highlander ended up on Queen's It's a Kind of Magic album.

Freddie was amazing. Crazy when you think he had no formal training. That my friends, is real talent!! R.I.P. Freddie! We miss you and love you!

[@suede7799]

Love Forever ..

[@guirosasilva]

Voice gift from God himself, don't need be trained.

[@juttapopp1869]

At this point, Freddie already knew or suspected he had AIDS, having first Symptome. He knew HE wouldn't be living forever. Raw Emotion indeed.

[@FeaturingRob]

The scene in the film 'Highlander', which this song comes from, is especially moving. Connor Macleod, a Scots Highlander warrior, who nearly died on a battlefield but miraculously recovered, is married and living happily with his wife, Heather. After the death of his mentor, Ramirez (played by Sean Connery), Macleod fully realizes what he is...an Immortal. That he is destined to stay young and virile as his beautiful wife ages and finally dies. After she dies, he buries her at their run-down castle, and her headstone is his sword, emblazoned with his last name, his Clan name...Macleod. He moves on, and in America, lives for hundreds of years...battling other Immortals who can only die if their heads are struck off of their bodies. Waiting for the time of The Gathering...when the few of the Immortals who remain will battle to the last, because in the end...there can be only one.

[@lkw6640]

FeaturingRob Ramirez proves to him that he is immortal by taking him out to the middle of a lake and then throws him out of the boat. He couldn't swim so he sank to the bottom thinking that he's going to drown. After he realizes that he isn't drowning, he walks back to shore on the bottom of the lake and attempts to sneak up on Ramirez. It doesn't work. That's when he truly starts to learn about what it means to be immortal. Ramirez teaches him everything he knows about fighting and being an immortal. Ramirez dies trying to protect bonnie Heather but she is raped. She takes that burden to her grave after living a long life. He watched her grow old before his eyes and, when she died, buried his bonnie Heather next to his mentor Ramirez.

[@michaelrushsr2629]

He already knew he was infected by the point of Highlander..

[@TEverettReynolds]

@@michaelrushsr2629 I believe, as much as he wrote this for the movie, he also wrote it about himself. As he knew his days were coming to an end. Who Wants To Live Forever, combined with "the show must go on" are just too eerily similar to his own life struggles. That's why he was a genius.

[@RealAaron317]

favorite movie of all time

[@NevynAtAll42]

He was sterile, not virile. They could only have children after The Gathering, only The One could have children, if he/she chose to. Though they only brought in female immortals in the abomination that is the tv show. I think. There were only male immortals in the first movie which is really the only one worth watching.

[@johnnieangel99]

That "catch" in his voice when he sings "forever" the second time, brings tears every time. Freddie will live Forever as long as we have his music. And there are people like yourself who keep discovering his talent.

[@szqsk8]

Freddie was epic. No flashy costumes, great stage presence and real talent. RIP 🌹

[@dusty3913]

I can't hear this without thinking about what's going to happen to Freddie soon, and tearing up.

[@kevinflidge6623]

What is going to happen to Freddie soon? I genuinely don't know what it is you refer to.

[@juttapopp1869]

He found out he had AIDS soon after and had years of sickness and pain, then died, making beautiful music almost until his last days.

[@andrewmiller2429]

I Love how Brian May’s guitar is crying during his solo. Tears from us all

[@andrewmiller2429]

Quite possibly my favorite guitar solo of all time.

These Are The Days Of Our Lives and the video are heart wrenching because he was dying and I think that's the last video they did. The Innuendo album is great.

[@darkangel_1978]

@@aricp9173 you're right, it was the last video they ever did. They were afraid that he wouldn't be able to get through it, with how frail he was. He said, "I'll fucking do it, darling !" Downed a shot of vodka and went out and did the video.

[@Rid3thetig3r]

All natural, and no singing lessons or coaches. Incredible talent.

[@fredking9076]

Never be another like Freddie Mercury,he had the voice of an angel. A true legend.

This made Seal (the singer) cry when he first heard it. He also chose to sing it when Freddie died and they had a concert for him.

[@fiddlesticks9887]

Does my heart good to see someone else be touched by Freddie's amazing voice. I grew up with Queen, yes I'm old. They have stood the test of time and always will.

[@theautumnalcyclist7629]

"Trillion"

[@ReptileNexus]

"Who wants to live forever, when love must die?" One of the best verses in my mind.

[@ll7868]

Highlander and Flash Gordon soundtracks by Queen are excellent albums even if you haven't seen the movies.

[@sadfaery]

One might even argue that the Flash Gordon soundtrack is better than the movie. :p

[@ll7868]

B.C. It's good old campy fun but could definitely use an updated remake. Chris Pratt (Starlord) and Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman) as Flash and Dale Arden and Daniel Dae Kim (Johnny Gat) as Ming The Merciless would be my choices for the 3 main characters.

[@BobFresno]

ᕼᑌᗰᗩᑎ ᖴᗴᒪᒪᗩ not a bad cast choice I’d watch it just for Gal in spandex 😃

[@NevynAtAll42]

I have never really like the Flash Gordon film and so I don't like that album of Queen's, just because it is cut with bunches of lines from the movie, ruining the music for me. That is only my opinion, of course.

[@calebclunie4001]

Timothy Dalton was in the original. They should bring him back, for a Flash Gordon Redemption, but as Ming this time.

[@darrenjones5885]

Queen were approached to do a song for Highlander. They did so, then asked if they could do more. The producers were really happy as they couldn’t afford to have asked. Ultimately the band asked if they could do all the music. There are some interesting things in the director’s commentary track on the DVD. The spoken commentary being recorded over the phone with Sean Connery using his bathroom as a sound booth, and the titles being pre-production titles they couldn’t afford to replace are mentioned.

[@suzanneh.3822]

When love must die. My favorite line ever. Seal sang this at the Freddy Tribute Concert. It was phenomenal.

[@aricp9173]

I think Seal was the best choice and the only one because I don't think anybody could have given it the gravity it deserved in that moment.

[@blueeyes1110]

this song always gets me emotional it makes me think of the movies emotional parts .Queen's soundtrack helped make Highlander better definitely just like all great soundtracks probably why the movie Bohemian Rhapsody is one of my favorites

[@mercuryangel9223]

The only thing better than watching a live video of Queen is being there. I had the opportunity to see Queen with Freddie three times! It was like listening to their albums! It is one of my biggest thrill to tell people that I got to see Freddie from the front row AND he actually sweat on me! Got a cool shot of the King as well! Long live Queen!

How about some love for Brian? He not only wrote the song (in just 20 minutes) but he actually sings the first verse and backup on the album. Freddie was brilliant but it took ALL four of them to make Queen magic! Stay safe everyone! Much love, J!

[@MrTech226]

During that scene in Highlander when Connor saying goodbye to his beloved wife, Heather as she lay dying in his arms as this song is playing in the background gotten me teary eyed....powerful scene.

[@TheCanuck1962]

If you jump in the WABAC machine with Professor Peabody, a Queen song, PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE, was used as the theme song in both the the 1st movie HIGHLANDER and then the TV series, HIGHLANDER, starring Adrian Paul. And Who Wants To Live Forever was played whenever someone close to the Highlander died. Just old memory flashbacks. Good tune.

[@Crimsonams]

Yes! Most definitely check out Princes of the Universe.

[@ehcmier]

They scored the Highlander movie, Brian May wrote most of it. Same with the Flash Gordon soundtrack.

[@TheCanuck1962]

@ShariSez1 You are correct. And from that point forward in the TV series, which is one of my top 3 of all time, whenever someone close to Adrian Paul died/lost their head, it was played again. Like it was the theme song of dying for him.
