Watch: Freddie Mercury's "Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow"

A powerful animated video has been released for Freddie Mercury's "Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow."

“We wanted to tell a story that was relevant to Freddie's life, but not explicitly about him," explained animators Esteban Bravo and Beth David. "The AIDS crisis of the 1980s is a huge part of LGBT+ history, and it's something that we knew needed to be handled with care.

"In researching the HIV/AIDS virus and the way it affects the body's immune system, we were inspired to take a look at the story through a more microscopic lens," they added. "It is a love story between two white blood cells, one of which has become infected by the virus.

"This perspective gave us a more direct visual representation of our conflict, which allowed us to explore the more nuanced struggles the characters face in their relationship with each other, their perceptions of themselves, and society's perception, bias and neglect of them."
