Mid-February – Freddie Mercury and John Deacon with Christopher Lambert during the filming of ‘Princes Of The Universe,’ Elstree Studios, London
“When ‘Highlander’ came out, it was a very exciting time for me. What was also very interesting is that Queen were meant to do only one track – it was the opening credits, ‘Princes Of The Universe’, that was the deal. So they sat down for a private screening for them in a movie theatre and Freddie Mercury when he came out, he said all excited: ‘I’m doing the whole fing album! This movie is too fing great!’. They went and wrote the songs in four weeks and went into the studio and it was one of the biggest selling albums of their career. So you know it’s strange, it’s like nobody ever thought that ‘Highlander’ was gonna be, thirty years later, still a cult movie, music included. About Freddie… there are many good singers, but to be really great it’s not enough just to sing correctly. You have to do it with the heart and he is the best at it!” – Christopher Lambert
