“We pillaged a few things from Freddie’s solo work and refashioned them. It was a great labour love”: Brian May recalls how a Queen album was created after the loss of Freddie Mercury

Queen.

It was in 1995, four years after the death of Freddie Mercury, that Queen’s final album was released – and as guitarist Brian May said, it was a project that was both challenging and rewarding.

The album was named Made In Heaven, and it was created using some of the final vocal and piano recordings made in Mercury’s lifetime.
