"I'm Going Slightly Mad" is a song by the British rock band Queen. Written by Freddie Mercury, it was released as the second single from the band's 1991 album Innuendo. The lyrics and the accompanying music video project the song as quirky, humorous and light-hearted,[1] but the eerie keyboards and the unsettling instrumentation as well as part of the lyrics, plus some of Mercury's lowest vocals, reflect gloomier undertones, inspired by AIDS-induced dementia.
Actress Cleo Rocos has confirmed this notion, stating that Mercury had explained to her and mutual friend Kenny Everett (who himself died of AIDS four years later) that the song documents the tragic mental decline he suffered during the final years of his life.[2] He finally announced that he had AIDS on 23 November 1991, and died the following day.
