The story behind the song

"Innuendo" is the powerful opening track from Queen's 1991 album of the same name. This epic, six-and-a-half-minute song was written by Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor, though credited to the band as a whole. It features a unique blend of styles, including a flamenco guitar section performed by Steve Howe and Brian May, an operatic interlude, and hard rock sections reminiscent of early Queen. The song's lyrics were partly inspired by Mercury's illness, making it a poignant piece from their later career.
