Queen are releasing a new album featuring Freddie Mercury

Queen guitarist Brian May officially confirmed the band is planning to release a new album, this year, featuring unreleased vocals by iconic frontman Freddie Mercury (who died in 1991).

May told the new album is likely to be titled "Queen Forever" and explained the vocal tracks by Mercury were recorded in the Eighties; May, with drummer Roger Taylor, recently recorded the music to accompany the "vocal scraps" that were found on old tapes.
"We had to start from scratch", May told BBC Radio Wales. He added: "Knowing how it would have happened if we'd finished the songs, I can sit there and make it happen with modern technology. It's quite emotional. It's the big, big Queen ballads and the big, big epic sound".
Probably this new album will also feature the a previously-unheard duet of Mercury with Michael Jackson, recorded in 1983 - which Roger Taylor revealed in March existed in the Queen vaults.
