Innuendo

Innuendo
This album harked back to the earlier seventies sound with many of the songs in the hard rock vein, finishing with the sadly prophetic ‘The Show Must Go On’. Innuendo spawned 5 top thirty singles including, the title track, a six-minute opus, which gave Queen their third UK number 1. ‘These Are The Days of Our Lives’, became a No.1 hit after Freddie’s untimely death in November 1991.
