New interview with Brian with some Adam mentions and discussing the biopic. UltimateClassicRock @ultclassicrock Exclusive interview! @drbrianmay Says @queenwillrock 'Get One Shot at Doing Freddie Mercury Justice' With New Biopic trib.al/fhKgENN ..... It has been a very busy and productive period for the Queen guitarist, and not just because of the new book. Queen and singer Adam Lambert recently completed a U.S. summer tour and will begin performing in the UK and Europe later in the fall. “The chemistry’s there,” May says of the band’s relationship with Lambert. “It’s something that you just can’t fake. It has to be real. It’s wonderful that he can do all the stuff that we need him to do, technically and physically. But also he brings a new character to it. It just works with us. He’s not imitating Freddie — he’s a new personality.” During the summer tour, Queen paid homage to the 40th anniversary of the News of the World album by featuring the robot from the famous Frank Kelly Freas album cover art as part of the stage visuals. Continuing the celebration of that classic album, which contains the band’s iconic anthems “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions,” will be a special News of the World box set due later in the year. “It’s stupendous,” May says of the reissue. “It includes all kinds of goodies that no one has ever heard. We have a new vinyl mastering, which comes straight off the mix tapes as opposed to off copies of the mix tapes. So this is the most faithful reproduction of those master mixes ever. The technical guys went through the multitrack tapes and they done alternative mixes using alternative takes of all the tracks on the album. So that’s going to be something people will be fascinated with. You can hear different guitar solos, different vocal takes. There’s a restored documentary that was never finished about us [at the time of News of the World] in America. It’s fascinating to see us talking about what we were doing and just being on the road. It’s a very rich box set that people will enjoy.” In other Queen news, it’s been now full steam ahead with the production of the much-anticipated biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. They recently announced the actors who will portray the rest of the Queen members and joining Mr. Robot star Rami Malek, who plays Mercury. “It’s been at least seven years that we’ve been wrestling with this stuff,” May says. “Now the button is pressed and everything is in operation. It’s incredible. I’ve been spent time down at the offices of the film, and it’s a massive factory: building sets, researching into people’s clothes at Live Aid, doing wigs, costumes and makeup. And we met the actors who are going to play us. So it’s a fascinating thing.” May adds that this production is a huge deal, “because it’s Freddie’s life, so we get one shot at doing him justice, and doing it honestly and transparently. But it’s also our lives. It’s a lot of our lives in there, which is kind of daunting. You’re looking at yourself being portrayed on screen, which is a lot to swallow. We have a fantastic team, it’s quite mind blowing, the power that’s in this team.”

Update from southeast Texas. Now my area is under water and people are having to be rescued. My Mom and my Stepmom both have water in their houses. My Stepmother was rescued by a Parks and Wildlife airboat this morning. My Mom and Stepdad are sitting in water at their house waiting to be rescued. I'm dry where I'm at, but can't get to them due to the high water. The freeways look like oceans, I have never seen anything like this before. My area has gotten 45 inches of rain so far and it is still raining! Oh, lulu! Stay safe! ❤️❤️

Oh, lulu! Stay safe! ❤️❤️ lulu.....I'm so sorry you're having to go thru all this. I've had the news on all morning and the visuals are so sad. Lulu, as the others have said, please stay safe! I have a sister and brother-in-law in Houston, and they are one of the very fortunate ones with no flooding in their home, just a leaky roof. This is such a horrible storm, and so many, many thousands at risk. Thoughts and prayers are with you!

Constantly in the news here in the UK....it's just unbelievable! i hope you and your family are all safe and that your Mom and Stepdad are rescued soon. Must be so hard not to be able to get to them. Thinking of you and all those suffering...
