26 October, 1981.

Queen and David Bowie, what a combination.

This song gave Queen their second number one in the UK after Bohemian Rhapsody in 1975 and it was a third UK hit for Bowie. It was the result of a jam session when Bowie joined Queen at their studios in Montreux, originally to sing backing vocals on another song Cool Cat. Bowie wasn’t happy with his vocals so they were never used but instead this classic was born.
