Really glad this song is getting some extra love after Bohemian Rhapsody. It was very poignant in the movie. It's always been one of their very best songs IMO,.

@iamagoogler3324 Do you mean in the movie or in real life? I can only assume you mean the movie. This song was written and recorded in 1985, released in 1986. Freddie wasn't diagnosed until 1987 so not even he knew he was unwell when this song was recorded, so I very much doubt you or anyone else did. And as Peggy Penguin stated, it was Brian May who wrote this. It wasn't Freddie.
