Legendary Queen frontman, Freddie Mercury, passed away November 24, 1991, about 24 hours after issuing a statement revealing that he had tested HIV positive and had AIDS. He was 45.
In the throwback video below from AXS TV, Queen guitarist Brian May tells Sammy Hagar about Freddie’s final days and how the band has tried to uphold he legacy after he passed away.
Speaking in the latest issue of MOJO (on sale now), Brian May discusses the possibility of brand-new Queen material.
“I think it could happen,” May tells MOJO’s Mark Blake when asked if he could imagine writing another Queen song. “Both Roger and I are constantly writing and coming up with ideas and doing things in our studios. I could have the beginnings of a Queen song right there in front of me now. It’s just whether the idea reaches maturity or not. It’s whether that seed can grow.”
Elsewhere in the issue, May and bandmate Roger Taylor discuss the creative dynamics within Queen, where all four band members — May, Taylor, Freddie Mercury, and bassist John Deacon — were responsible for writing the band’s biggest hits.
