A new Queen song featuring Freddie Mercury has been revealed this morning (13.10.22) by Ken Bruce on BBC Radio 2.

Guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor released a previously unheard track – which features their late frontman’s vocals – on Thursday (October 13th) just after 11 am UK time.

The song – which had worldwide premiere on Ken’s show – is called ‘Face It Alone’ and includes Freddie’s iconic vocals, taken from the ‘Miracle’ sessions in 1988.

Over the summer, Brian and Roger spoke to Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2 as part of Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, and they revealed they had discovered the song.

Roger said at the time: “Yes, we did find a little gem from Freddie, that we’d kind of forgotten about. And it was.

“It’s wonderful. Actually, it was real discovery. It’s from the ‘Miracle Sessions’, and I think it’s going to be out in September.”

His bandmate described the song as “beautiful” and touching”, and explained how they ended up bringing it together.

Brian added: “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, okay, we can do this and this. It’s like kind of stitching bits together.”

Freddie died in November 1991, nine months after ‘Innuendo’ – their final album, and the successor to ‘The Miracle’ – was released.

In 1995, the band – including former bassist John Deacon – dropped ‘Made In Heaven’, the iconic lineup’s final album as their frontman appeared posthumously on the collection.
