Guitarist Brian May recently heard a tape of the band performing at Imperial College London, a recording he didn\u2019t know existed, and he thinks its something they should be proud of.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe\u2019re debating what to do with it. A few years ago we\u2019d have felt very protective and thought, \u2018Nobody should hear this because we\u2019re very rough.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cBut now, in the position that we are in our lives, we feel forgiving. We\u2019re not ashamed of where we were at that time. It was us against the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Brian admitted he\u2019s reluctant because he feels protective over late frontman Freddie Mercury and the fact the singer\u2019s voice wasn\u2019t as powerful as it was in his prime.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cFreddie had all the will and charisma and passion but he didn\u2019t have the opportunity to harness that voice yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhich makes me hesitate a little bit, because I\u2019m not sure Freddie would be that happy hearing himself at this stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut strangely, if he were alive and sitting here at this moment, he\u2019d probably be the same as me, \u2018Oh darling, we were kids.\u2019 \u201c<\/p>\n

2020 marked the 50th anniversary of the band \u2013 which also included bassist John Deacon, who is now retired – but Brian insisted it wasn\u2019t something that he and bandmate Roger Taylor wanted to celebrate.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cEverybody else can celebrate it if they want. We\u2019d rather just celebrate being here and being alive.\u201d
Roger added: \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to draw attention to how f****** ancient we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Roger revealed fans could also hear some new music from the group, who perform live with Adam Lambert.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe did record a song which we haven\u2019t actually finished. It\u2019s very good\u2026 I can\u2019t remember what it\u2019s called. I think we were still discussing what we should call it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if he\u2019d like to make a new Queen album, he told Classic Rock magazine: \u201cIt would be nice to do some stuff. I wouldn\u2019t rule it out.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdam has said, \u2018Any time you want me to sing on something\u2026\u2019 If the other two decide \u2018Let\u2019s do something\u2019, I\u2019d be there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
