Did they title the album "Made in Heaven" because they knew that he was going to pass away? Didnt he make this song before he knew about having the AIDS virus, like back in 86 or someting?

Too much of a coincidence!!

Barry © wrote: Re MIH, Made in heaven is a Freddie track from Mr. Bad Guy, Freddie's solo album from 1985. This was later reworked by Queen and used as the album title. Freddie had been dead a few years before the remainder of the band went back in the studio to make the final album.
The version of the song Made In Heaven on Mr. Bad Guy, solo Freddie, is my favorite of the two versions - oh, those exquisite high notes of his. It kills me every time. The theme is ethereal, delicate, celestial, heavenly, not of this world, spiritual. On MIH album the rest of the band dramatizes it with unnecesary blast and heaviness.
