Then there was the time that Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson recorded a song together, but it wasn't finished or released until many years later.

Recorded with Michael Jackson, "There Must Be More To Life Than This" eventually was released on Mercury's first solo album, Mr. Bad Guy. After Jackson's death, Queen tried to get permission to release three songs Freddie recorded with the King of Pop.

They did get permission to complete the one song and it was released on Queen Forever, a compilation of Queen songs that had some previously unreleased songs.
