While the world still reels from the news of David Bowie's tragic passing, one of his finest performances is currently being spread across the internet - the hair-rising and mindblowing vocals-only rendition of 'Under Pressure' with Queen's Freddie Mercury. 

The Thin White Duke died this week, after losing his 18 month battle with cancer - days after releasing his incredible 25th album Blackstar on his birthday

Now, a version of the smash hit collaboration 'Under Pressure' with Queen with the vocals isolated and no musical backing has gone viral once again - allowing the true grace and talent of both singers to truly shine, not to mention their inimitable flair and flambouyance. Check it out below. 

This week, Queen's Brian May paid tribute to Bowie, hailing him as 'a fearsome talent, and the loss to Music and Culture from his passing is inestimable'.
