These Are The Days Of Our Lives

"These Are the Days of Our Lives" is a song by the British rock band Queen. It is the eighth track on the album Innuendo, and was credited to the group as a whole.

The accompanying video was the last to feature the band's front man Freddie Mercury as he was in the final stages of a battle with AIDS. The majority of the footage used in the video was filmed by Rudi Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher of DoRo Productions on May 30, 1991. Although Roger Taylor mimics playing the conga in the video, it was actually Dave Richards who recorded the conga percussion for the song.

In promotion of the song's release as a single in the United States, Mercury, Taylor and John Deacon were present, with additional footage of guitarist Brian May filmed some weeks later, as he was out of the country on a radio promotional tour at the time of the principal film shoot. The version of the finished video serviced to the U.S. market also featured some animated footage produced by animators for the Walt Disney Studios, as Queen's North American record label, Hollywood Records, is a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. In Europe, a different, 'clean' version of the video without the animated sequences was released. Then another video version was released in 1992 to promote the Classic Queen compilation album in the US, combining old footage of the band from 1973 to 1991 plus the performances of the band from the US aired video.

The song was issued as a single in the US on September 5, 1991 and as double A-side single in the UK on December 9, 1991, in the wake of Mercury's death, with the seminal Queen track "Bohemian Rhapsody". The single debuted at #1 on the UK singles chart.

The song was awarded a BRIT Award for "Best Single" in 1992.

The song was played live in 1992 at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, sung by George Michael and Lisa Stansfield.

The song was played on the 2005/06 Queen + Paul Rodgers tours with vocals by Roger Taylor. On stage the song was accompanied by a video of the band in their early days in Japan.

The song was used on July 1, 2007, at the Concert for Diana. It was a concert held at the new Wembley Stadium in London, England, United Kingdom in honour of the late Diana, Princess of Wales. At the end of the performances, a video montage of Diana as a child was presented and this song was playing in the background.
