The Sad Queen Song Roger Taylor Wrote after he found out Freddie Mercury was Dying

Roger Taylor wrote a heartfelt song for Queen after learning about Freddie Mercury's terminal illness. In the late 1980s, Freddie Mercury received an HIV-positive diagnosis, leading to the realization that he couldn't continue touring due to his battle with AIDS, which sadly ended his life at the age of 45.

Supported by his bandmates Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon, Queen spent the next few years recording new material in the studio.

One highlight of this period was Roger Taylor's These Are the Days of Our Lives, which featured on the band’s 1991 album Innuendo.

In a previous interview with Absolute Radio about the track reflective of Queen’s 30 year career, Roger said: “I was sitting at home in a rather reflective mood and I did know that Freddie was ill, and I think it came out of that slightly melancholic mood.

“I guess I was trying to put an optimistic slant on it in a way – those were the days then. And these are the days of our lives – today is more important than yesterday.”

Famously These Are The Days Of Our Lives’ 1991 music video featured Freddie’s final appearance in front of a camera before his death that November.

Director Rudi Dolezal told People: “He must have had terrible pain, but you don’t see that, you just see a man and his destiny. He didn’t want any special treatment. He was so brave.”
