QUEEN To Drop Previously Unreleased Song Featuring FREDDIE MERCURY

07 June 2022

QUEEN's Roger Taylor and Brian May have revealed that they have unearthed a previously unreleased song by the band featuring late frontman Freddie Mercury.

The track was recorded in 1988 during the sessions for QUEEN's 13th studio album, "The Miracle".

Speaking to BBC Radio 2 ahead of QUEEN's performance with Adam Lambert at Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee concert last weekend, Taylor said:

"We did find a little gem from Freddie that we'd kind of forgotten about. And it's wonderful. Actually, it was a real discovery. It's from 'The Miracle' sessions and I think it's going to be out in September."

Asked who found the track, which is titled "Face It Alone", May replied: "It was kind of hiding in plain sight. We looked at it many times and thought, 'Oh no, we can't really rescue that.' But in fact, we went in there again and our wonderful engineering team went, 'Okay, we can do this and this.' It's like stitching bits together. But it's beautiful. It's touching."

Taylor added: "It's a very passionate piece."

Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS in 1987 and battled the disease in private, telling only a select few close friends in the years which followed. He died in November 1991.

Released in November 2018, QUEEN's biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody" has become the highest-grossing musical biopic of all time, bringing in more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office. It was also No. 1 biggest-selling film of 2019 on home release.
