Mercury was at the piano and he started off the "we had a good night" section. "Party" began as a jam session between Freddie Mercury, Brian May and John Deacon. It would prove to be the band's penultimate album to be recorded with Freddie Mercury, as he died on 24 November 1991, nine months after their next album, Innuendo, was released. AllMusic would name The Miracle as Queen's best album of the 1980s, along with The Game. The album reached number one in the UK, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, and number 24 on the US Billboard 200 chart.
It was also the last Queen album with a photo of the band on the front cover. The album was originally going to be called The Invisible Men, but three weeks before the release, according to Roger Taylor, they decided to change the name to The Miracle. Recording started in January 1988 and lasted for an entire year. The album was recorded as the band recovered from Brian May's marital problems and Freddie Mercury's HIV diagnosis in 1987 (which was known to the band, though not publicised at the time). The Miracle is the thirteenth studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on by Parlophone Records and Capitol Records in both the United Kingdom and the USA, respectively, where it was the band's first and final studio album to be released on those respective labels.
