Ещё в начале 90-х легендарная группа потеряла своего вокалиста и лидера Фредди Меркьюри, который скончался вследствие заболевания СПИДом. Однако оставшиеся товарищи не захотели закрывать славную историю коллектива и продолжили работу, перепробовав на посту вокалиста звёзд разной величины, начиная от Робби Вильямса и заканчивая целиком опробованной группой Five. При этом ничего сколь-либо путного из этого не выходило. Довольно быстро бесконечные концерты с кем ни попадя и вечера воспоминаний надоели Джону Дикону, который покинул состав, заявив, что без Фредди существования группы не имеет смысла. Оставшиеся двое продолжили свою деятельность. Апофеозом стало знаменитое приглашение на роль вокалиста Пола Роджерса, известного прежде всего как участник довольно известной команды Bad Company. Слушайте что из этого получилось!

Barcelona is the second solo album recorded by Freddie Mercury, frontman of popular British rock band Queen, and operatic soprano Montserrat Caballé. Released in 1988. It is the second and final solo album recorded by Mercury.
After Barcelona was selected to host the 1992 Summer Olympics, Mercury was approached to write a song as a theme for the forthcoming games. The idea was to create a duet with Caballé, as she is from the city. He had been a long-standing admirer of her and she in turn grew to respect his talents very highly. They decided to work on an album together, with Mercury and Mike Moran taking the creative lead as songwriters. Mercury and Moran made and sent her tapes of the music with Mercury singing in falsetto as a guide vocal for Montserrat's parts. As they rarely had an opening in their schedule to meet, her parts were recorded at another location.

The Freddie Mercury Album is a posthumous solo project with material from Queen frontman and vocalist Freddie Mercury released in 1992, to observe the anniversary of his death. The album is mainly made up of remixes from his past releases, as well as the original versions of "Barcelona", "Love Kills", "Exercises in Free Love", and "The Great Pretender". A week later, The Great Pretender, its US counterpart, was released.

There were numerous producers who had permission from Jim Beach to use the original master tapes. Reinhold Mack, who is not credited as being involved, was hired to oversee the project. The album was released by Hollywood Records on 24 November 1992. The US album differs from its UK counterpart (aside from a slightly different running order) by replacing the original versions of "The Great Pretender" and "Love Kills" with remixes, featuring a slightly altered ending of the "Mr. Bad Guy" remix, and replacing "Barcelona" with a remix of "My Love Is Dangerous".
