QUEEN are working on a “new” album of demos from their 1980s
heyday.Guitarist Brian May, 64, told me he and drummer Roger Taylor, 62, are
“going through some old drawers” to find unreleased songs recorded with
frontman Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991.Brian said: “As well as seeing
what we can unearth, we want to do a new musical to follow We Will Rock You.
The songs are there, it’s just a question of finding time to get the right
production.”
Who knows of the news about what Secrets Brian and Roger find in old drawers?
If the lady that said "Ain't nobody got time for that" can get a viral video, I'm sure some lecherous asshole out there can work in ANOTHER Freddie Mercury posthumous single
If its the era of crap where even PSY hits the charts.... anything IS possible.
Maybe excerpts from interviews.

I nearly posted in this subject the other day
It occured to me that there most probably are loads of things that are completly unknown that queen recorded
when you consider the beatles anthologies and the massive amount of stuff in them verses the short time they actually recorded together, 6 years?
then you have Queen, who always turned out quality over quantity, but the free as a bird thing the beatles released to launch their anthology thing that included some just of interest outtake type stuff and gooneqsue type silliness i think Queen would have planned a similar thing of equal stature (a new big songnever known about ) to launch at a certain agreed time - their anthology of the complete plus loads of extras the empasis being on the loads of unreleased extras not even known about, this was probably planned for the 50th anniversay, or even the century one.

It was planned WAY before that.
I read it in a RECORD COLLECTOR magazine while I was in HIGH SCHOOL (yes, FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL)
I don't anticipate it seeing the light of day
They're perfectionists and lets face it.
NO BARE BONES RECORDING HSS EVER SURFACED IN AN OFFICIAL RELEASE. .. not even teasers. What ta ya expect?
The way the FM set was treated under HOLLYWOOD RECORDS (I'm stateside) I doubt they see a market for it (that's all these record executives think about. .. no chances with this idiots whove inherited it)
If there was... it might cost a kidney
(*assuming mine are still good by then)
I like NOT thinking about it.
The studios FUCKED with Michael Jackson's legacy. ... I'd expect a release IF EVER when the main guy is dead
(Humor intended)
It may be a bit out there as an idea but if Brian and Roger want to do studio work why don't they produce new work and keep evolving Queen that way? .they are great musicians and might produce something great. TCR sounded like they were a bit too influenced by Paul Rodgers imo.

It ended up being debunked. The excuse was that there actually "wasn't enough" material in the end.
I'm talking by memory here, but wasn't there a a fan who said Jim Beach told that 3 new songs with Freddie were found and there was a potentially number 1 in there?
I mean, 3 new songs, some reworked demos, the duets with Michael Jackson ,David Bowie, Andy Gibb, and a couple of songs by Brian and Roger, and i see a great project taking place.
But it's not worth it if John isn't the bass player and this might be the real issue with them undertakng this massive task.
Every time i listen to "I was born to love you" Queen version, i just think of all the hard work it took Brian to create this beast. Maybe he doesn't want to do it all over again.
