Queen had already mentioned the song in the summer of 2022 in a radio interview on the occasion of Queen Elizabeth II’s 70th jubilee. “We found a little Freddie gem that we kind of forgot about,” drummer Roger Taylor said in the interview. “It is wonderful. It was an actual discovery.”
The Miracle was the band’s 13th album and the penultimate to be released during Freddie Mercury’s lifetime. Two years later, in the same year that “Innuendo” was released, Mercury died of complications from AIDS.
