Three decades ago, Queen and Michael Jackson began work on a song that would never see (hear?) the light of day — until now.

There Must Be More to Life Than This features harmonizing vocals from Jackson and fellow legendary vocalist Freddie Mercury, who recorded a solo version of the track in the mid-1980s. The new version, which you can hear below, will appear on a forthcoming Queen compilation, Queen Forever, due out November 11. --Jon Terbush
