Queen talks

"David [Bowie] sang backing vocals on one of my songs that was on the album, it's not Under Pressure, it's another one, but he didn't like what he did."

Freddie Mercury - 1982

"David just did a backing track. I don't think anyone thought any more about it, except that it was a nice ornamentation. We just sent him a courtesy note telling him that we had used it and he said, 'I want it taken off, because I'm not satisfied with it.' Unfortunately, he didn't tell us until about a day before the album was supposed to be released, so it really set us back. It delayed the album's release."

Brian May - 1982
