Quote related to 'Friends Will Be Friends' from 'A Kind Of Magic'

This album [A Kind of Magic] also furnished another of the band's crowd-pleasing anthems, namely Friends Will Be Friends. The co-composition credit on this track and on Pain Is So Close To Pleasure was merely because John Deacon insisted that Freddie's contribution be recognised and acknowledged. John's honesty and integrity would not have allowed him to do otherwise.
