No-One but You (Only the Good Die Young) is the only new song recorded by the British rock band Queen after the death of Freddie Mercury. Brian May - the writer of the song - and Roger Taylor share the lead vocals. Unlike other music the band made after Mercury's death, it does not contain any extra members on vocals, such as at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert or the Queen + Paul Rodgers tour. The song was released on the album Queen Rocks and it was also released as a single.
The impetus for the song came after the death of Diana, Princess Of Wales in August 1997 but is largely an eulogy to Freddie Mercury and to "anyone who died before their time".
This is also the last song to feature John Deacon on bass.
Trivia
- In the musical We Will Rock You the song is used as a tribute to many singers that passed away, as Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrisson, Bob Marley, John Lennon and of course Freddie Mercury.
- The sentence "another tricky situation" is thought to have a connection[citation needed] to the song "It's a Hard Life" wherein Freddie Mercury sings: "This is a tricky situation."
