"No-One But You (Only the Good Die Young)" is the final single recorded by the British rock band Queen. Recorded and released in 1997, six years after the death of lead singer Freddie Mercury, it is the only Queen recording to feature a three-piece lineup: guitarist Brian May (who wrote the song), drummer Roger Taylor, and bassist John Deacon. May and Taylor share lead vocals. The song was released on the album Queen Rocks and it was also released as a double a-side single with "Tie Your Mother Down". It was later included on the compilation album Greatest Hits III. This song was also the last recording to feature John Deacon, who subsequently retired from public life, the last original Queen song to reach the Top 40 of some European countries and last original release from the band until 2014's Queen Forever. Background Brian May finished writing “No One But You (Only The Good Die Young)” in early 1997, after Queen reformed for a one-off appearance with Elton John at the Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris. It was dedicated to Mercury and all those who die too soon. In 2019 on his Instagram page May revealed that it was during his visit to Montreux in 1996 to unveil a statue in Mercury's honour that he was first inspired to write the song. It was originally written for a potential May solo project, which eventually evolved into the album Another World. He sent the demo of the song to Roger Taylor, who by his own account put it in a drawer and forgot about it. After eventually hearing it, Taylor suggested that it could be turned into a Queen song. Taylor's contribution was to change the tempo and make the lyrics less specific to Mercury. Music video The music video was produced by DoRo and filmed at Bray Studios, London on 29 October 1997. It was shot in black and white, and featured only the three remaining members of Queen in the studio. A second version was also made, and is a completely different edit, featuring sepia-tinted footage of Mercury through all his years with the band. This version was featured on both Queen Rocks: The Video and Greatest Hits III VHS releases, both of which were released in 1998 and 1999, respectively. Track listings 7" Single A1.
