The third single release from Made In Heaven was the gospel-tinged Let Me Live, an unusual track by any standards, as it featured lead vocals by Freddie, Brian and Roger, plus a rare inclusion of guest backing vocalists such as former Brian May Band member Catherine Porter and actor Gary Martin. The single was a big hit, despite Radio One refusing to add the song to its playlist, reaching number 9 in the UK singles charts in 1996.
Return Trip
Unlike previous singles from the album, no collage video was made to accompany the single release. As a result, tv stations resorted to broadcasting Bernard Rudden's piece from the Made In Heaven: The Films project. Entitled "Return Trip", the film depicted a young couple on the verge of breaking up, who have become unable to communicate with one another. This film was one of only two from the project to be used to promote a single release from the album, and as such an alternate edit appears on the Greatest Flix III VHS, released in 1999.
Bernard Rudden continues to make short films.
