It’s one of the most iconic duets in rock history – and both singers were blitzed off their bums while recording it.
Queen drummer Roger Taylor says Freddie Mercury and David Bowie were both drunk while recording the 1981 hit “Under Pressure”.
In fact, Taylor says the whole band had thrown back a few: “We were all drunk, and in the studio, and we were just for fun playing all sorts of old songs…David said, “Hang on a minute, why don’t we write one of our own?”
The song would go on to hit #1 in the UK and remains one of the band’s most beloved songs.
