This is a discography of works by Freddie Mercury as a solo artist. For information about recordings made by Queen see Queen discography.
Collaborations and guest appearances
1975 All four members of Queen helped produce a session with the soul band Trax. Nothing was ever released.
1976 "Man From Manhattan" by Eddie Howell backing vocals, played piano and produced this track.
1976 "You Nearly Did Me In" by Ian Hunter backing vocals on this song, from the album "All-American Alien Boy."
1978 "Never Let Her Slip Away", a UK top five hit for Andrew Gold, saw Mercury perform harmony vocals as an uncredited background singer.
1982 "Emotions in Motion" by Billy Squier backing vocals on this song, from album of same name. Also on the 1996 Billy Squier anthology "Reach For The Sky."
1983 "Victory", "There Must Be More To Life Than This" and "State of Shock" were recorded by Mercury and Michael Jackson, but their original takes were never released. Samples from the latter two have, however, turned up on bootlegs. Later, Mercury reworked "There Must Be More To Life Than This" into his solo album Mr. Bad Guy, and Jackson re-recorded "State of Shock" with Mick Jagger. Popular rumours dictate that a Queen version of "Victory" exists, but this has not surfaced anywhere yet. Queen's 2014 compilation Queen Forever included a brand new arrangement of "There Must Be More To Life Than This" featuring cuts from Jackson's vocal track.
1986 "Love Is The Hero" by Billy Squier backing vocals on this song from the album "Enough Is Enough". Freddie sings the intro on the 12" single. Also co-wrote and co-produced track "Lady With a Tenor Sax", from the same album. Both also on the 1996 Billy Squier anthology "Reach For The Sky."
1986 "Hold On" duet with Jo Dare co-wrote this song from the German soundtrack of "Zabou."
1988 "Heaven For Everyone" by The Cross lead vocals on the LP version, backing vocals on the single version (or the version on the US album) from the album "Shove It."
