The show must go on

With Christmas and New Year behind us, it was back to work this week.

Back to the grind, but we have to be brave, have to be professional.

You know how it is, as they say in show business, the show must go on.

That's what Freddie said when he was on his way out - a professional to the end.

The Show Must Go On!

Another one bites the dust!

For once, I can not confirm the origin but it sounds a lot like it's from westerns.

It simply means to be defeated or die but usually in some sort of battle or fight.

Therefore, you'd be wrong to use it to describe completed actions. It would be more appropriate to be used when beating opponents.

Maybe Freddie can explain.
