Videoclip
The song's music video is footage of the artists' miming performance at the open air "La Nit" festival in Barcelona on 8 October 1988 (Mercury's last live performance before his illness got worse[2]), where the song was performed along with "Barcelona" and "How Can I Go On". The video was first released as part of a 5" CD video single.
