June 6, 2022, a year ago
Queen’s Roger Taylor and Brian May have confirmed that they have unearthed an unreleased song by the band featuring late frontman Freddie Mercury, reports NME. The band members shared the revelation during an interview this weekend with Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2.
“We did find a little gem from Freddie that we’d kind of forgotten about,” Taylor said. “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, the title of which will be "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, ‘OK, 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.”
