"Too Much Love Will Kill You" is a song written by British guitarist Brian May of Queen, Frank Musker and Elizabeth Lamers.
[2] The song reflected the breakdown of May's first marriage and attraction to his future wife, Anita Dobson.
After the wimpy opening that could’ve come from Styx or Chicago, Mercury's grandiose vocals kick in, eclipsing the lame melody.
In 1992, Brian May performed "Too Much Love Will Kill You" at the first Pavarotti & Friends concert in Modena in Italy.
[46] In 2003, May again performed a rendition of "Too Much Love Will Kill You", this time as a duet with Luciano Pavarotti, at the tenor's benefit concert held in Modena, Italy.
