Ice on Fire was released by musician Elton John in 1985 and was met with little praise. Geffen Records did little to promote the album and it only reached number 48 on the charts.
George Michael appears on two tracks on the album: "Nikita" and "Wrap Her Up". Despite the mediocre sales of the album, both those tracks became Top 20 hits, the former reaching #7 in the U.S. and #4 in the U.K.
Roger Taylor and John Deacon of Queen play drums and bass guitar respectively on the track "Too Young".
