If there was anyone whose voice was also enormous, it was George Michael's! However, nobody can stand in Freddy's footsteps, but George was the best choice to perform this song. It is such a shame we lost both George and Freddy. They were so good!!! Oh, and this song... it is so full of rythm, it's like a heartbeat! Absolutely great!

Freddie always said that the finest voice in British music belonged to George. They admired one anoter greatly and the band so appreciated this performance. The joy on their faces was palpable. With George they found some sense of the magic that had been Queen with Freddie out front. I wish he'd joined them tbh.

[@SK22520]

In George Michaels documentary I’ve learned that during this performance, George knew his partner had aids and would die of it. He sung this song for him. Knowing that makes this performance even more chilling and powerful!

[@lottesundstrom908]

His partner was backstage. A decade or so later, George said it in an interview. No one knew his partner had AIDS, but George said in the interview he had only found out days earlier Alsemo was dying, and he angry, which was why his performance was so powerful. He wanted everyone to know Alsemo name, and was his partner. He loved him very much.

[@LeeThrough]

And, Anselmo was in the audience. GM said it was his loudest prayer. So heartbreaking as no one knew.

[@PFCD]

This is such a difficult song to sing. No wonder Queen asked him to do it. Like Brian said in an interview, "I knew he could do it".... And do it he did! There is no way to overstate this man's musical brilliance. RIP George... we will always be listening❤.

[@miazga3]

Queen didnt ask him to sing this song. It was him, who wanted to sing this song and the band agreed.
