MONTREUX. "Made in Heaven", the album that contains the last recordings made together by "Queen", is released today all over the world: an album released four years after the death of Freddie Mercury, which took place on November 24, 1991. The album was made in the Mountain Studios of Montreux, the Swiss city where in 1979 "Queen" spent a year of voluntary exile to escape the pressure of the English tax authorities. It was Jim Beach, their manager, who suggested choosing Montreux. Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor fell in love with this small town on the lake so much that they decided to buy Mountain Studios, the most famous Swiss recording studios, and shortly after they released "Live Killers". In Montreux Freddie Mercury left the final traces of his career. Jim Beach, who oversaw the making of the album with May, Deacon and Taylor, says: «In the last year of his life Freddie had become a prisoner of his house in London besieged by paparazzi and so he rented a villa on Lake Montreux, because he came here treated with more respect. His only pleasures were to sing when his health allowed him and to dine in his favorite restaurants». It was Beach himself who presented, "in the Mountain Studios, the album "Made in Heaven": the other three did not want to talk about their latest collaboration with Mercury. Freddie asked us: "Let me sing anything because I want to leave as much material as possible. What is miraculous is that, despite the illness, his voice remained intact. "Made in Heaven" is the celebration of Mercury's life and art.
