"Last Horizon" is a guitar solo written by Queen's guitarist Brian May.[2] It is a slow, poignant solo, with a sad tone.
The record was released on December 6, 1993 as a single[3] from its parent album, Back to the Light, and remained on the UK charts for two weeks, peaking at number 51. The b-sides of the single included live tracks that were later released on the album Live at the Brixton Academy.
May plays the composition at every one of his concerts since then (including the Queen + Paul Rodgers and Queen + Adam Lambert tours). "Last Horizon" was included on the live albums Return of the Champions and Live in Ukraine.
