Queen
Live Performance of The Show Must Go On by Queen and Elton John in Paris
In late 1996, when Queen performed "The Show Must Go On" live with Elton John in Paris, they were navigating a poignant chapter in their storied career. This performance took place shortly before the release of "Made in Heaven," the band's final studio album that came out in 1995, featuring tracks recorded post-Freddie Mercury’s passing. Interestingly, this collaboration with Elton John showcased not just their enduring musical chemistry but also the deep respect flowing between iconic artists amid Mercury's absence. It's a testament to their ability to continually deliver powerful performances, capturing the raw emotion that defined their sound. Even in the wake of such personal loss, Queen still managed to ignite a crowd with their trademark theatricality, proving that the show must, indeed, go on.
