Scandal is the fourth single from Queen's 1989 album The Miracle. Written by Brian May but credited to Queen, the song is about the unwanted attention May and singer Freddie Mercury received from the press in the late '80s involving May's divorce and marriage to actress Anita Dobson and Mercury's growing health problems (he had yet to tell the public he had HIV and/or AIDS). Queen had several bad experiences with the British tabloids throughout their career[citation needed]. Mercury chose early on to partly seclude himself from the press by these very reasons. In the DVD commentary of Greatest Flix II Roger Taylor barely hides his disdain for the video and the actual song.
