The Golden Boy

"The Golden Boy" is a song recorded by Queen frontman Freddie Mercury together with Catalan operatic soprano Montserrat Caballé.

Originally included in the 1988 album Barcelona, the song was released as a 45 rpm two weeks after its appearance in the main album, with another excerpt from the LP, "The Fallen Priest", as the B-side.

An instrumental version of the song was included in both the 12" vinyl and the 5" CD single releases.

The song's music video is footage of the artists' miming performance at the open air "La Nit" festival in Barcelona on 8 October 1988 (Mercury's last live performance before his illness got worse[3]), where the song was performed along with "Barcelona" and "How Can I Go On".

The video was first released as part of a 5" CD video single.
