Queen je britská rocková skupina založená v roku 1970 v Londýne, ktorej tvorba spája prvky hard rocku, pop rocku, glam rocku aj klasického rocku. Pôvodná zostava pôsobila viac ako dve desaťročia a všetci štyria členovia sa podieľali na skladbách.
Album The Miracle vyšiel v máji 1989 vo vydavateľstvách Parlophone a Capitol Records. Nahrávanie začalo v januári 1988 a trvalo celý rok, pričom ešte tri týždne pred vydaním došlo k zmene názvu – pôvodne sa mal album volať The Invisible Man. Na tomto albume začala skupina spoločne podpisovať všetky skladby ako „Queen“, čo symbolizovala aj titulná fotografia – zlúčené tváre všetkých členov do jediného obrazu. Dôvodom bolo ťažké tvorivé obdobie: Brian May prechádzal rozvodom a Freddie Mercury sa potýkal s počínajúcou chorobou. Album dosiahol prvú pozíciu v britskom rebríčku aj v Rakúsku, Nemecku, Holandsku a Švajčiarsku, v Spojených štátoch sa umiestnil na 24. mieste v Billboard 200. Toto ôsmodiskové Blu-ray vydanie obsahuje 89 nahrávok, vrátane remasterovaných verzií skladieb ako I Want It All, Breakthru, Scandal či titulnej The Miracle, a ďalších pôvodných verzií a bonusov.
Na albume sa podieľali Freddie Mercury (lead vocals), Brian May (gitara, sprievodné vokály), Roger Taylor (bicie, sprievodné vokály) a John Deacon (basgitara).
