David Bowie about "Under Pressure"

The number 1 hit 'Under Pressure' by Queen & David Bowie was released as a single on the 26th of October 1981. The song reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Queen's second number-one hit in the UK after 1975's "Bohemian Rhapsody". Recorded at Mountain Studios in July 1981 during the Hot Space sessions, it was later included on Queen's 1982 album Hot Space album released in May 1982. David Richards knew Bowie was in town and called him up and asked him if he'd like to come down and see what was happening. Bowie came down and they were all having drinks in the Casino when David Richards felt something was in the air and ran down to the studio to switch on the machines. "That was through Dave Richards, the engineer at the studio. I was in town, in Montreux, doing some other work there, and because I believe that Queen have something to do with the studio on a business level, I think it's their studio or something like that and they were recording there, and David knew that I was in town and phoned me up and asked me to come down, if I'd like to come down to see hat was happening, so I went down, and these things happen you know. Suddenly you're writing something together, and it was totally spontaneous, it certainly wasn't planned. It was, er, peculiar." David Bowie 'It was late in the studio and everyone had left except David Bowie and me. He wanted to add some piano to the track and was upstairs trying to find something. After a while he came down to the control room and said ''you have a go''. I said but who will do the recording? Bowie said ''I'll do the recording and you go upstairs and play the piano''. I panicked at the idea of leaving Bowie in the control room but went up. I played the 2 notes on the piano and David said ''that's exactly what I was looking for.''
