The Queen “Once in a Lifetime Tour“ will also head to Sydney and Melbourne Australia in August.
In a BBC Radio radio interview with Wynne Evans of, Guitarist for Queen, Brian May discussed his new book, Diableries: Stereoscopic Adventures in Hell, centered around 18th century French stereoscopic cards or “French Devils from the 18th Century and his “addiction”/ obsession of the cards and their odd visions of Hell, Satires and Devils. According to May, plans for a new Queen album (currently untitled) featuring unreleased Freddie Mercury compilation vocals from the eighties are in the works as well as a sequel to the musical “We Will Rock You” .
Freddie Mercury, the band’s front man died of HIV/AIDS in 1991. His life is celebrated annually through the The Mercury Phoenix Trust, launched on September 5, 2010 with ‘Freddie For A Day’, a major annual initiative designed to celebrate Freddie’s life each year on his birthday and to support the on-going work of the Trust. The project encourages fans to dress as Freddie for a day and in doing so raise funds for MPT through sponsorship. Queen released their last album in 2010, named “Absolute Greatest“
