Queen & Michael Jackson – There Must Be More To Life Than This (Radio Rip) [Stream]

Look what we got here! Chris Evans’s premiered the long awaited duet by legendary Rock Band Queen and Michael Jackson on his BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show earlier this morning. It is titled “There Must Be More To Life Than This” and will appear on Queen’s new album “Queen Forever”, releasing on November 10th.

A little background story on the track:

It began as a song written by Mercury during sessions for Queen’s 1981 album, Hot Space. The band recorded a backing track, but the song was never completed. Mercury visited Michael Jackson at his home studio in Los Angeles where he recorded Jackson singing the song for an unfinished version. Queen revived the track during sessions for 1984’s The Works, but again it was not finished. A year later, Freddie’s own version of the song surfaced on his debut solo album, 1985’s Mr Bad Guy. This new production of the powerful ballad fuses Queen’s original backing track and Mercury and Jackson’s distinctive vocals, and has been produced and remixed by celebrated Madonna/Robbie Williams producer William Orbit.
