This year has been the 30th Death Anniversary of Freddie Mercury, another Pioneer of Music.
One was the engagingly versatile frontman of one of the greatest rock bands of all time. The other became known as the King of Pop, releasing one of the best-selling albums in history. And together, they had plans to work together on a project that had the potential to become the ultimate collaboration in music history.
Queen’s Freddie Mercury had been soaring on an extreme level of success since the band released its first album in 1973. Known for his penchant to transcend genres - ranging from rock and pop to opera and disco - he had the utmost respect for Michael Jackson, who was at the height of his own reign with 1982’s Thriller.
The two also shared a mastery of showmanship, along with unapologetic confidence, as shown in their music videos, like Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” and Jackson’s “Thriller,” and their stage performances, like Mercury’s historic showing at 1985’s Live Aid and MJ’s 1993 Super Bowl halftime show.
But the brewing anticipation of a joint collaboration never came to fruition during their lifetimes, as Mercury died of complications from AIDS in 1991 and Jackson from cardiac arrest from a lethal overdose of prescription drugs in 2009.
"There Must Be More to Life Than This" is the eighth track on Queen singer Freddie Mercury's debut solo album Mr. Bad Guy, released on 29 April 1985 by Columbia Records.
The song was originally recorded by Queen for 1982's Hot Space, but failed to make the final version of the album. It was previously recorded as a duet between Mercury and Michael Jackson, along with two other songs: "State of Shock" (later reworked with Mick Jagger for a version by the Jacksons) and "Victory" (which remains unreleased).
After Michael Jackson's death in 2009, Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor took steps to secure all three Mercury/Jackson duets, with a view to releasing them in 2012. However, Taylor likened dealing with the Michael Jackson Estate to "wading through glue". Eventually, the parties agreed for "There Must Be More to Life Than This" alone to be released. "I was very pleased we had three new tracks to put on Queen Forever," said Taylor. "As well as the Michael Jackson track 'There Must Be More to Life than This', there is another song Freddie did with him, called 'State of Shock', with a massive rock sound. But we could only have one track with Michael, which is a great shame."
A contributing factor to the delay from the time it was recorded was Mercury's frustration over Jackson's insistence that his pet llama be allowed to attend recording sessions. According to manager Jim Beach Freddie told him "Can you get me out of here. I'm recording with a llama." Michael wasn't keen on Freddie's recreational drug use during their recording sessions. Mercury returned to London soon after and the track remained unfinished.
The version on Queen Forever was produced and mixed by William Orbit, containing the original backing track from the Hot Space sessions with May on guitar, Taylor on drums and John Deacon on bass. An alternative mix by May was rejected in favour of Orbit's.
