A review in February 1991
"In true showbiz fashion, Mercury even offers a nod to the old Judy Garland-Mickey Rooney spirit in the over-the-top “The Show Must Go On.” When he sings, “Inside my heart is breaking, my makeup may be flaking, but my smile still stays on,” he can be envisioned preening in front of his vanity mirror before taking the stage."
It really took on a new meaning after Freddie died :(
