===Posthumous Queen album=== In November 1995, Mercury appeared posthumously on Queen's final studio album ''[[Made in Heaven]]''.<ref name="Encyclopædia Britannica2"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.udiscovermusic.com/behind-the-albums/queen-made-in-heaven/|title=Made In Heaven: The Aptly Named Album That Drew The Curtain On Queen|last=Bell|first=Max|date=17 August 2017|website=uDiscoverMusic|access-date=24 February 2019|archive-date=10 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190410144717/https://www.udiscovermusic.com/behind-the-albums/queen-made-in-heaven/|url-status=live}}</ref> The album featured Mercury's previously unreleased final recordings from 1991, as well as outtakes from previous years and reworked versions of solo works by the other members.<ref name="Heaven"/> The album cover features the Freddie Mercury statue that overlooks Lake Geneva superimposed with Mercury's Duck House lake cabin that he had rented. This is where he had written and recorded his last songs at [[Mountain Studios]].<ref name="Heaven"/> The sleeve of the album contains the words, "Dedicated to the immortal spirit of Freddie Mercury."<ref name="Heaven">{{cite web|url=http://www.queenonline.com/en/the-band/discography/made-heaven/|title=Made in Heaven|last1=Brooks|first1=Greg|last2=Taylor|first2=Gary|publisher=Queenonline.com|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110218165829/http://www.queenonline.com/en/the-band/discography/made-heaven/|archive-date=18 February 2011|access-date=27 September 2014}}</ref> Featuring tracks such as "[[Too Much Love Will Kill You]]" and "[[Heaven for Everyone]]", the album also contains the song "[[Mother Love (Queen song)|Mother Love]]", the last vocal recording Mercury made before his death, which he completed using a drum machine, over which May, Taylor, and Deacon later added the instrumental track.<ref>{{cite book|last=Lemieux|first=Patrick|title=The Queen Chronology: The Recording & Release History of the Band|date=2013|publisher=Lulu|page=86}}</ref> After completing the penultimate verse, Mercury had told the band he "wasn't feeling that great" and stated, "I will finish it when I come back next time".
