Queen - Scandal Official Video [HD]

«Scandal» is the fourth single from Queen's 1989 album The Miracle. The single was released in the United States but failed to chart, possibly because it was released on some formats with a Capitol Records sleeve, instead of the Queen sleeves. It is one of Brian May's personal favourite songs. Scandal was written by Brian May but credited to Queen, the song is about the unwanted attention May and singer Freddie Mercury received from the press in the late 1980s involving May's divorce and marriage to actress Anita Dobson and Mercury's growing health problems (he had yet to tell the public he had HIV and/or AIDS).[1] Queen had several bad experiences with the British tabloids throughout their career.[citation needed] Mercury chose early on to partly seclude himself from the press by these very reasons.
