Almost 31 years since Freddie Mercury left this mortal planet, new music of his has been discovered. The revelation was made by Queen bandmates, Roger Taylor and Brian May, who appeared on BBC Radio 2 this past weekend.

“We did find a little gem from Freddie that we’d kind of forgotten about and it’s wonderful,” Taylor revealed. “Actually, it was a real discovery.”

According to May, the track was sort of there all along… “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.”

The song is said to have been recorded while the band was making their thirteenth studio album, The Miracle, in 1989. By that stage, Mercury was battling HIV, with his appearance described as gaunt.

“it’s beautiful. It’s touching,” May said of the un-released track entitled “Face It Alone”.

“It’s a very passionate piece,” Taylor agreed.

Fans of the late frontman will be able to hear the song in September.

May and Iommi have been friends for decades. The pair have jammed together on several occasions and supposedly, they have a whole collection of riffs waiting to be used.

In a recent interview with Guitar World, May was asked about the chances of fans hearing anything that May and Iommi have worked on together.

“I think there is a chance,” May replied. “We do more talking than anything else, but we do a lot of talking. [Iommi] is really my dearest friend in the business and has been for so many years.

“I could write books about Tony because he’s just the most [pauses]… I don’t even know how to put it into words. You know, he’s a luminous human being is Tony, with a wonderful, kind nature and an incredibly baffling sense of humor.”

He added: “And, of course, he is the father of heavy metal. He did that. He made that happen. And it’s from his fingers and his mind.”

If May and Iommi collaborate on an album, it may just blow our minds. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to hear snippets of what the pair have been working on in the future.

And it seems that the views will just keep on coming. The band’s official channel released a new HD remastered version of the video with lyrics translated to new languages.

“Bohemian Rhapsody is a sonic and cinematic masterpiece that’s one of the most enduring songs of all time”, Lyor Cohen, YouTube’s global head of music said in a statement. “The newly remastered video on YouTube will ensure the song continues to be rediscovered, embraced and beloved by old and new generations of music fans around the world”.

The band members are also excited. Brian May and Roger Taylor said that they are honored by the song’s achievement. “We want to thank you all and celebrate with our amazing fans all around the world by creating three new music videos to our songs, all featuring you!”, they said.

The musicians invited the fans to go to www.youarethechampions.com, to learn about the plan to release user-generated songs and submit their material.

In case you missed it, the Mr. Robot actor will be rocking you as he plays Freddie Mercury in the Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody.

Rami’s performance has already earned him heaps of praise from critics who believe that he brought the lead singer to life in the most charismatic manner.

“[It was] kind of the gun-to-the-head moment,” he told The Guardian about accepting the part. “What do you do? And I like to think if it’s a fight or flight situation, I’m going to fight. The scariest endeavors that I’ve chosen to take in my life have been the most fulfilling and rewarding. And this has proven to defend that equation.”

Freddie joined Queen in 1970 and remained the lead vocalist until his death from AIDS-related pneumonia in 1991.

“It’s an arduous thing to tell someone’s life in just two hours,” said Rami. “What’s the nature of celebrating a life? Definitely not avoiding his death in any way, or what caused his death, which is the AIDS virus. But I think if you don’t celebrate his life, and his struggles, and how complicated he was, and how transformative he was — and wallow instead in the sadness of what he endured and his ultimate death — then that could be a disservice to the profound, vibrant, radiant nature of such an indelible human being.”

Bohemian Rhapsody opens on the 24th of October.
