Brian May Not Happy About Mercury-Jackson Recording Leaks

Real Rock News — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:56:41 +0000

My earlier report regarding the whereabouts of the recordings made by Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury during the 1980’s may have been a bit premature. It has become apparent that whomever it was that was in possession of them has somehow allowed them to be leaked to the internet. Something that does not sit well [...]

Idol’s Adam Lambert As New Queen Frontman?

Real Rock News — Sat, 23 May 2009 20:37:48 +0000

For me, the moment of the American Idol finale was Adam Lambert singing with Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen. I had been wanting Lambert to give “Bohemian Rhapsody” a shot all season, knowing he was much better-suited to pull it off than Michael Johns did during last season. It was a bold move [...]

Queen + Paul Rodgers Part Company

Real Rock News — Thu, 14 May 2009 15:57:14 +0000

This one isn’t much like the typical rock star departure we so often hear about where a group breaks up or loses a member over “creative differences” or some kind of personality clash. This one appears to be strictly business. Paul Rodgers, who teamed with Queen back in 2004 will be hitting the road with his [...]

Queen And Paul Rodgers Set To Rock The Cosmos

Real Rock News — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:51:35 +0000

That might be the impression one would get by looking at the artwork that was recently revealed for their new album. By the way, the album is entitled The Cosmos Rocks. You don’t suppose that title and artwork have anything to do with Brian May’s interest in astronomy, do you? Either May is the member [...]

Queen’s Brian May Publishes Thesis

Real Rock News — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 00:03:38 +0000

A while back, we learned Brian May had resumed his studies on the subject of astrophysics. I don’t know how a guy can work on a thesis and a new album at the same time, but he’s obviously a more ambitious guy than most. Being a rock star and and astrophysicist, although an odd combination [...]

New Book And Interview From Brian May

Real Rock News — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 14:28:19 +0000

I suspect not every Queen fan will have an interest in Brian May’s new book. It is called "Bang! The Complete History Of The Universe," and as you might suspect, the book deals with matters other than music. May did an interview not long ago with a Los Angeles radio station which you can find links [...]
