QUEEN’s BRIAN MAY Undergoes Knee Replacement Surgery

According to The Pulse Of Radio, QUEEN’s Brian May has kept his fan base on top of his knee replacement surgery via his official web site, BrianMay.com, posting on August 6: “I’m THROUGH!!! With a shiny new knee. This no walk in the park (!) but for 1st time in months I feel optimistic and free of that OLD pain. Thanks so much for the great messages — it means a lot. Bri zzzzz.”

In addition to his new album with Broadway star Kerry Ellis, called “Acoustic By Candlelight”, May has been putting the finishing touches on the soon-to-be-released 1983 Freddie Mercury/Michael Jackson demos. In addition to that, he and drummer Roger Taylor have been working on new QUEEN tracks with legendary producer Chris Thomas.

Chris Thomas is best known for his work on THE BEATLES’ “White Album” and numerous projects with Paul McCartney, Pete Townshend, THE PRETENDERS, PINK FLOYD, BADFINGER, INXS, SEX PISTOLS, Elton John, U2, among others. The sessions mark his first behind the boards for QUEEN.

There’s no word who the two vocalists singing lead on the tracks are, or when they’ll be released.

The Pulse Of Radio asked QUEEN drummer Roger Taylor if he and Brian May have remained as close as they were during QUEEN’s heyday. “Very close,” he said. “I mean, we are, y’know, what’s left of QUEEN. And, y’know, I saw him yesterday, we had a meeting. We see one other all the time — ’cause there’s so much to talk about. Seems like there’s more and more to talk about. And we don’t always agree all the time, but we are very close, yeah.”
