    Montserrat Caballé, opera singer, dies at 85

    Opera singer Montserrat Caballé, whose duet with Freddie Mercury became the signature song of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, has died aged 85.

    She had been suffering from health complaints for some time and was admitted to hospital in Barcelona last month, according to news agency Efe.

    Her career spanned 50 years.

    She had stints with the Basel Opera and Bremen Opera before her international breakthrough in 1965 in Lucrezia Borgia at Carnegie Hall in New York.

    She went on to perform with the Metropolitan Opera, San Francisco Opera and Vienna State Opera, appearing opposite the likes of Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo.

    The song Barcelona was first released in 1987 and later became an anthem for the city's 1992 Olympics.



    Not a big fan of opera, but this song with Freddie was amazing - both thrir voices were superb. She couldn't believe that he could reach such high notes, and hold them for so long

    Having read his autobiography it seems strange that he couldn't believe he would get to share the stage with such a great opera singer, it seems they were both in awe of each other but produced as near perfection as is possible. Such a sad loss of such great talent...

    One of the great writing partnerships of British comedy, compared to today's PC rubbish Steptoe was a timeless classic and still far funnier than anything of the modern era. RIP Ray...

    And a bonus that they were QPR fans in the series. There are some good writers today but agree back then you had more freedom to be able to write without some sort of yoghurt knitting group moan about it. Regarding the work, it was bloody brilliant!

    Last of the 'Old School' owners in the Jim Gregory mould. Villa fans always moaned about him but they didn't know how lucky they were as you can tell from the tributes and anecdotes. RIP Deadly...

    He was a great commentator, I remember him doing the commentary on Channel Four's Football Italia during the 90's. RIP Peter <rose>
