Behind-the-scenes footage of George Michael and David Bowie will give you the chills

Seeing some of the musical legends who passed away in 2016 sharing a stage brings on a whole new wave of sadness.

People on Twitter are sharing this moving video of a rehearsal for a 1992 concert tribute to Freddie Mercury. In it, George Michael absolutely slays a performance of "Somebody to Love." And if you watch closely you'll see the Thin White Duke himself, David Bowie, looking cool in the background, with Seal next to him.

The video appears to have been bonus material on a DVD of the tribute show. In another rehearsal, Bowie and Annie Lennox sing "Under Pressure," and you can spot George Michael in the background.

R.I.P., legends.
