皇后搖滾樂團將推出與傑克森合作的歌曲
Roger Taylor says they are working on unreleased MJ / Mercury songs
上世紀80年代初期，皇后搖滾樂團（Queen）的主唱Freddie Mercury和Michael Jackson一起錄了三首歌。據皇后樂團的鼓手羅傑·泰勒（Roger Taylor）說，是麥可建議他們把《Another One Bites the Dust》發行單曲，而這首歌成為了皇后樂團在美國最熱門的歌曲。
佛萊迪曾在麥可合作過幾首歌，分別是《勝利》（Victory）、《休克》（State of Shock）和《生命不僅如此》（There Must Be More to Life than This）。可惜歌曲一直沒有完成，這兩個人都忙著自己的巡演和專輯。然而兩人的歌迷卻一直期盼歌曲的發行，希望可以有機會聽到。
後來，《休克》發行了，可惜裡面的合唱者是米克·傑格（Mick Jaggar），而不是佛萊迪；《生命不僅如此》也出現在了佛萊迪的《壞人先生》（Mr. Bad Guy）專輯裡，可是那成了他的獨唱曲。
最近在一本比利時雜誌的採訪中，羅傑·泰勒說：“我們正在製作一些80年代初期佛萊迪和麥可一起錄製的未發行歌曲。我不能說太多，但聽起來很棒！”
註：State of shock這首歌是The Jacksons《Vicotory》專輯中著名的一首，於1984年拿下Billboard Hot 100的第三名，與R&B榜第四名。最初由MJ和Freddie Murcury合寫，但原始版本只收錄到MJ的bootleg裡，後因兩人停止合作，最終收錄在專輯裡的是與Mick Jagger的版本。(The Ultimate Collection終極套裝精選也有收錄)
Michael重新歸隊後，為The Jacksons的新專輯"Victory"進行宣傳及巡迴演唱，首支單曲"State Of Shock"並請來了滾石合唱團的主唱Mick Jagger助陣合唱，榜上成績不俗，美、英的排行最高名次分別為#3，#14，並達到白金唱片的銷售數量。
In the early 80′s, Freddie Mercury (the late lead singer of Queen) recorded 3 songs with Michael. Michael and Mercury were fairly good friends. According to Queen drummer Roger Taylor, it was Michael who suggested they release “Another One Bites the Dust” as a single. It was the band’s biggest hit in the U.S.
Anyway, Freddie stopped by Michael’s house to work on a few songs. They were “Victory”, “State of Shock ” and “There Must Be More to Life than This”. The demos were ran through a few times but sadly left unfinished as both men had their own tours/albums to work on. Ever since, fans of both have been wondering how the songs came out, if they’d ever get the chance to hear them.
A few years back, a box set of virtually every Mercury track recorded was released and fans had hoped the duets with Michael would be included. They were not. As yet, they have not been officially released anywhere in the world.
As some of you may know, “State of Shock ” was released but with Mick Jaggar instead of Mercury. “…More to Life than This” ended up as a Freddie only track on his album “Mr. Bad Guy”.
In an interview with a Belgian magazine Roger Tayler says “We are now working on some never-before-released songs that Freddy made with Michael in the early 80′s. I’m not allowed to say too much about it but they sound incredible!”.
