Queen to Release Unheard Material With Freddie Mercury

In 1991, the extraordinary voice of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury was silenced forever when he succumbed to AIDS. In his career that spanned nearly two decades, he left a remarkable legacy behind for the world to remember. There is good news for fans of Queen, however. Queen guitarist Brian May recently announced in a BBC Wales interview that they will be releasing a brand new album with recently discovered material which Mercury sang on that has NEVER been released to the public before.

This will be the band's first release of unheard material with Freddie Mercury since their 1995 release Made in Heaven. May announced last week that the new album will be titled Queen Forever. While it was announced that the material had been discovered back in January, only recently were details of the coming release announced. It has also been confirmed by May that this will be the absolute last of the unheard Freddie Mercury material.

As was done with Made in Heaven, the material will feature new bigger arrangements. When asked about the tracks May said, “Most of it comes from the ’80′s when we were in full flight. It is quite emotional. It is the big, big ballads and the big, big epic sound. It wouldn’t have been if we hadn’t have done this restoration job. We had to start from scratch because we only had scraps. But knowing how it would have happened if we had finished it, I can sit there and make it happen with modern technology.”

In the mean time however, Queen will be kicking off a new tour on June 19th in Chicago, IL with former American Idol contestant Adam Lambert whom the band has worked with in the past at the front manning the vocals.

May says, “Most of it comes from the ’80′s when we were in full flight. It is quite emotional. It is the big, big ballads and the big, big epic sound. It wouldn’t have been if we hadn’t have done this restoration job. We had to start from scratch because we only had scraps. But knowing how it would have happened if we had finished it, I can sit there and make it happen with modern technology.”
