"Too Much Dearest Will Kill You" is a vocal written by British guitarist Brian May of Queen, Frank Musker, and Elizabeth Lamers.[2] The song reflected the breakdown of May'southward offset union and allure to his future wife, Anita Dobson.[3] It was beginning recorded by Queen around 1988 or before, and was intended to be on the ring's The Miracle album in 1989, only did not make the cutting due to legal disputes following the band's decision that all songs on the anthology would be written by the group as opposed to individuals.

After Freddie Mercury'due south death in 1991, May arranged a solo version, which he performed at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992,[4] and subsequently included on his solo album Dorsum to the Calorie-free that same year. When released every bit a single, information technology reached number five on the United kingdom Singles Nautical chart, number 2 in Belgium, and topped the charts in kingdom of the netherlands. Because it was starting time played publicly at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, a common misconception is that it was written as a tribute to Freddie Mercury, although it had actually been written several years before he died, and he sang lead vocal on the Queen version.

A version of this song recorded in 1989, with Mercury on vocals, was included on the band'south 1995 album Made in Heaven. Released equally a single in 1996, this version was less successful than May's version in Europe, but it did allow the song to chart in North America for the beginning time. In 1999 information technology was included in Queen'southward compilation album Greatest Hits III.[v]

Although it failed to duplicate the chart success of May's solo version, Queen's version of the vocal has since come up to exist regarded as the definitive version, later being awarded "Best Song Musically and Lyrically" at the 1996 Novello Awards (May said later on that if at that place was one song that he would have wanted to win an honour for, it was this one[2]), and being included on Queen's Greatest Hits Three.[32]
