Queen to release new album with unreleased Mercury's vocals
Queen are to release their first new album in almost 20 years that will include unheard vocals by late frontman Freddie Mercury, the band's guitarist Brian May has disclosed.
The record, which has the working title Queen Forever, is due to be released in stores at the end of the year and will feature songs from the 1980s.
Mercury’s distinctive vocals will be merged with recently recorded instrumental tracks.
"We found a few more tracks with Freddie singing and all of us playing," May told BBC Radio Wales during an interview at the Hay Festival.
"They are quite beautiful and people will be hearing this work towards the end of the year.
Mixed feelings about this. I love Freddie Mercury and Queen, but I feel as if there's a reason these songs were left of the cutting room floor. Hoping this isn't an Xscape-sized mess.

I think this was planned after the X-scape era tbh
