Today marks the twentieth anniversary of the death
of the iconic Freddie Mercury.
These Are the Days of Our Lives was his final filmed performance, with the track being released on his 45th birthday and remaining at #1 up to just a few weeks prior to his death. The video ends with Mercury facing the lens, whispering 'I still love you', which were to be his last words on camera.
It gets me every time, even more so in recent years, where nostalgia registers all the more poignantly.
