Five Live, released in 1993, features five (in some countries six) tracks performed by George Michael, Queen and Lisa Stansfield. Somebody to Love and These Are the Days of Our Lives were recorded at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert held April 20, 1992 at Wembley Stadium. All proceeds from the sale of the EP benefited the Mercury Phoenix Trust.
Sales of the EP were very strong through Europe, where it debuted at number one in the UK and several European countries. Chart success in the United States was far less spectacular. The EP peaked at number 40 on the Billboard 200. Five Live sold an estimated 5 million copies worldwide.
