About This Track

The Invisible Man” is a song by English rock band Queen, written by drummer Roger Taylor but credited to the band as a whole.

Originally released on the band’s 1989 album The Miracle, it was also released as a single that same year. Taylor claims that he got the inspiration to create the song while reading a book, and the bass line suddenly came into his head

This song marks the only time in any of Queen’s songs that all four band members names are mentioned in the lyrics. Taylor calls out his bandmate’s names, the first being Freddie Mercury, followed by John Deacon. Brian May’s name is then mentioned twice,just before his guitar solo starts, perhaps as a nod to his technique of using delays, and lastly Mercury sings “RRRoger Taylor”, rolling the “r” to emulate the drums at the end of the verse.

In the music video, a video game called “The Invisible Man” plays a large part, as a small child is playing a game while the band (all dressed in black), who are the “bad guys” in the game, enter the real world and perform the song in his room, while the boy is trying to shoot them with the game controller. From time to time, Mercury appears in various places in the child’s room, vanishing before the boy can shoot him with the video controller.

    Queen is a great group but let's be honest, I would not have followed Freddy Mercury into my own house.

    When I was young, I was hoping that the whole team will jump out of my closet as well as in the video. To tell the truth... Until now, I hope.
