Why Queen’s ‘Hammer to Fall’ Made Brian May Insecure

The band performed it during their iconic Live Aid set the following year.

They returned after another four-year gap with Nine Lives, which underperformed its predecessors but still sold a respectable 2 million copies. In hindsight, it was just a warmup for their first and only chart-topping single, the divisive "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing."
