概要

In the early 1980s, two of pop music’s most monumental figures, Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury, attempted a high-profile collaboration at Jackson’s private Hayvenhurst studio. Although they successfully recorded three tracks—”State of Shock,” “Victory,” and “There Must Be More to Life Than This”—the project ultimately imploded due to bizarre interpersonal friction.

Reports suggest the sessions broke down over clashing lifestyles: Mercury was reportedly unnerved by Jackson bringing his pet llama into the recording booth, while Jackson grew increasingly disapproving of Mercury’s drug use. While versions of these songs later surfaced as solo tracks or re-recorded duets (most notably with Mick Jagger), the original demos remained locked away for decades, offering a rare glimpse into a brief, volatile intersection of musical genius.
