Barcelona (Freddie Mercury song)
- Barcelona (Freddie Mercury song)
"Barcelona" is a single released by late Queen vocalist Freddie Mercury and opera singer Montserrat Caballe in 1987. It was taken from the two's collaborative album, "Barcelona".
This song indulges in Mercury's love of opera and the theatre, with his high notes and Caballe's soothing opera vocals blending together over a lush orchestral backing to create one of the biggest hits of Mercury's solo career. Also of note is that, for the music video, Mercury shaved off his trademark moustache, which he had for most of the 1980s.
On its original release, the song reached number eight in the UK Singles Chart. In 1992, after being used for the 1992 Summer Olympics (for which it was originally commissioned before Mercury's death in 1991), the track reached a new peak of number two in the UK and is his second highest-charting solo hit.
