Mercury even chronicles his failing health with stoic humour, notably on the heroically defiant swan song The Show Must Go On, not going gently into that good night but still burning bright, and still playing shamelessly to the gallery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"eop\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"normaltextrun\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘Greatest Hits III’, rarely available on vinyl, features their latter-day songs, the band members’ solo hits and the band’s collaborations with other artists including Elton John and Montserrat Caballe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"eop\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"normaltextrun\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUndimmed by time or fashion, ‘The Platinum Collection’ is a reminder that Queen were always colourful, always dynamic, always ablaze with passion and pride.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"eop\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"600\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6LP Box Set\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"600\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreatest Hits -
