By Queen. By Brian May, Freddie Mercury, John Deacon, and Roger Taylor. Arranged by Chris Gorman. Pop,Rock. Brass Band. 57 pages. Chris Gorman #903387. Published by Chris Gorman (A0.1314635)."The Show Must Go On" is a song by British rock band Queen, featured as the twelfth and final track on their 1991 album, "Innuendo". It is credited to Queen, but written mainly by Brian May. The song chronicles the effort of frontman Freddie Mercury continuing to perform despite approaching the end of his life, although his diagnosis with HIV/AIDS had not yet been made public in spite of ongoing media speculation claiming that he was seriously ill. When the band recorded the song in 1990, Mercury's condition had deteriorated to the point that May had concerns as to whether he was physically capable of singing it. May recalls; "I said, 'Fred, I don't know if this is going to be possible to sing.' And he went, 'I'll f***ing do it, darling"—vodka down—and went in and killed it. This arrangement is a must for any Brass Band Library wanting a powerful Rock rhytmn driving from start to finish.
