"Keep writing me words, keep giving me things, I will sing, I will sing": A look back at Freddie Mercury's final Queen album, Made In Heaven

The Freddie Mercury statue at Lake Geneva, Montreux, Switzerland .

In terms of sales figures alone, there could be little doubt that the Queen hardcore – and more than a few fairweather fans – approved of this posthumous album that featured vocal and piano parts recorded by Freddie Mercury in the months before he died. 

Put together as a labour of love by Queen’s surviving members, Made In Heaven was released on November 6, 1995, and topped the UK album chart, marching towards multi-platinum sales and spitting out five Top 20 UK singles.
