The final album before Mercury’s tragic death, Innuendo truly is his goodbye to the world, and you can feel his time coming to an end across the album. “These Are The Days Of Our Lives” is his goodbye in song form, and it’s perfect as it is, the titular “Innuendo” revisits the earlier experimental era, with it’s longer runtime and extended flamenco solo featuring Steve Howe of progressive rock legends Yes, and “The Show Must Go On” is widely renowned as one of Mercury’s greatest vocal performances, showing his sheer strength and determination to push all the way to the end of one of the greatest vocalists to ever walk this world.
