In 1988, Freddie Mercury performed this hit on stage. Just look who joined him...
Everyone knows Freddie Mercury as a legend of rock music. In addition, many fans of the brilliant musician liked his collaboration with the unique opera diva Montserrat Caballe. Freddie never hid his reverence for the talent of the Spanish diva. Therefore, the offer to record the song “Barcelona” with her, which opened the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona (in her homeland of Montserrat), was accepted immediately and with delight.
Montserrat Caballe once admitted in an interview that if Freddie had not died in 1991, they would have recorded the famous “Phantom of the Opera” together. However, this, alas, was not destined to happen...
Today we invite you to enjoy an inimitable performance of “How Can I Go On” on stage in Barcelona. This video brought tears to my eyes...
“I knew that Freddie was very sick and weak. I called him and put the phone to the speaker, from which the recording of “Ghost” was coming from. He thanked me and said that this was exactly what he wanted to hear... That was the last time I spoke to him,” Caballe recalls sadly.
