Too much love will kill you - Queen

Brian May wrote 'Too much love will kill you' with Frank Musker and Elizabeth Lamers. The song was recorded in the Eighties and intended to be included on Queen's 1989 album 'The miracle'. In 1992, Brian May performed the song during the Freddy Mercury tribute concert, after Mercury's death the year before. It was released as a single by May, which reached number 5 in the UK and number 1 in the Netherlands.

The Queen version finally saw the light on the 1995 album 'Made in heaven'. It was released as a single, with the 7" vinyl pressed on pink vinyl. This single reached number 15 in the UK singles chart - but it didn't reach the Dutch Top 40.
