"The Show Must Go On" is a song by the British rock band Queen, released as the final track on their fourteenth studio album, Innuendo (1991). It was the last single issued before the death of frontman Freddie Mercury. Although credited to Queen, the song was written mainly by guitarist Brian May. The lyrics convey Mercury's resolve to continue working despite his deteriorating health, at a time when his HIV/AIDS diagnosis had not yet been publicly confirmed and media speculation was widespread.
