Queen release rediscovered song featuring Freddie Mercury
GBNEWS24DESK//
Queen released a rediscovered song featuring Freddie Mercury on Thursday, the band’s first new track with the late frontman’s instantly recognisable vocals to come out in more than eight years.
Guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor first told fans about the existence of “Face It Alone” during an interview in the summer. The track was originally recorded in the late 1980s during sessions for the band’s chart-topping album “The Miracle” but it did not make it to release.
Queen’s production and archive team found it again when they began working on an upcoming box set reissue of the album, due to be released in November.
“We’d kind of forgotten about this track,” Taylor said in a statement. “But there it was, this little gem. It’s wonderful, a real discovery. It’s a very passionate piece.”
“The Miracle”, Queen’s 13th studio album, came out two years before Mercury died from AIDS-related pneumonia in 1991.
