Earlier this year, we celebrated what would have been the 65th birthday of late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury with a Google Doodle and a host of video tributes from stars around the world, including, of course, guitarist Brian May.

Since then, the band's surviving members have talked up an "official tribute group" and teased the possibility of a new album and musical. The Michael Jackson estate has also given the band permission to work on the tracks Mercury and the King of Pop made together.

Today, we mark the 20th anniversary of Freddie Mercury's sad death in 1991 from bronchial pneumonia resulting from AIDS. We can't think of any better way to mourn his loss than to simply present our favourite musical moments from the Queen back catalogue, so here they are.

'Don't Stop Me Now'


'Killer Queen'


'We Will Rock You'


'We Are The Champions'


'The Show Must Go On'
