Brian May concerned for future of live touring, teases Adam Lambert and Queen album | Smooth Radio

[@M-MMo]

Brian May, Rock'n Roll's most gentle and genuine person. Love his honesty, speaking about depression and his fears and feelings.

[@veronicawebb2526]

M MM I love him

[@burdman7546]

Just realised ur profile pic is young Freddie

[@conniegifford6266]

Just love him. A beautiful sole. ❤

[@victoriavelvet3689]

Such a lovely man.

[@loril2466]

What a pleasure to listen to an interview where the interviewer lets the person speak instead of breaking in every two minutes. Brian seems to be a very nice man.

[@mmonroenot]

Bri - I do hope you can take a 3-D photo of stars! I have all of your 3-D books and never tire of reading and viewing them. I hope Queen+Adam Lambert can tour next year I wish the band could perform in San Diego.

[@wmrxb15]

Yes it makes a refreshing change; very well conducted.

[@gillanlorna487]

Such a lovely man Always loved Brian but the more and more i hear his wise words the more and more i love him So wish i was his neighbour Does so much for animals and wildlife too We need more people like Brian May in the world

[@alison1540]

So happy to have seen Brian in concert with Adam and Roger in Dunedin, New Zealand. I took my 14yr old daughter and we had the time of our life!! Thanks Brian, you are a legend!!

[@paulinemeinung8949]

Hi Alison and Brian! My son (22) took me to see you (Brian) in Dunedin NZ also! It was so wonderful. When I asked my son how he knew all the words he replied that I had played all the Queen songs every Friday and Saturday night, glass of wine in hand, while he and his sister were growing up - so how could they NOT know them??? What a wonderful night it was! Thank you Brian!

[@patluvsrocky7249]

Thank you Brian for your honest heartfelt interview. Yes, I am grieving my former life and freedom while trying to keep positive and busy at the same time. It is a very disoriented feeling. Well, here’s to staying well and forwarding on..❤️

[@victoriagrove5344]

Brian is a delight! I enjoy listening to him about most anything of interest.

[@theresabarth1549]

Thank you, Brian May for pointing out that even the best of us can have physical circumstances happen beyond our control and impacts us emotionally and, hard as we try, brings us down. You are my hero! Thank you for speaking out. You are never alone. Get well soon my friend! 💙🙏🏼💙

Great interview. Dr. May has so much going on, but so nice of him to take the time to chat. And yes, every sunset is amazing every single time! 😊🎸

[@victoriavelvet3689]

Ahh I want to give Brian a hug 🤗

[@AdinaIspas]

Big hug, ever since I saw that Show Must Go On documentary... He’s a special soul, they all are. This thing about depression... is because he’s often too conservative to allow for change of pov. I think this year they should do a Freddie commemoration on his passing. Symbolic of that change, you know? It’s not healthy to celebrate a dead person’s *birthday* for so long, or even his “achievements” in that worldly sense. I didn’t want to accept it either for many years but it’s because I didn’t know enough. Brian felt that he had let Freddie down (those interviews years ago) and that’s why he’s still attached to the old. Adam believes Freddie is a spirit now, I hope he can get that across to them in the end because as said, they are truly appreciated and special.

[@dianesilverstein6475]

Thank you, Brian, for your openness about depression and overall mental health. It's very meaningful to me and so many others, I'm sure. And thank you for creating community throughout the world these days especially. Blessings of peace and happiness to you.💗

[@carolannkaiser2741]

So I was watching a video on my pc of Brian May playing Love of my Life, because I want to play that too... and my grandson passed by, he stopped, then said, 'Oh, that's my friend's grandad, didn't know he was a singer.' Didn't stop to listen, just carried on with his bowl of of cereal in his hand to the table. Aren't kids just wonderful. And cool!

[@MetalGreggNY75]

Wow! It’s really refreshing to hear Brian May being honest about being depressed....so it really shows that I’m not alone having those feeling and not to feel shamed or embarrassed about having those feelings.

[@beckygriggs7827]

We're hanging in there too brian, its tough at times but we'll get through it together. Your music through QUEEN helps me cope with every day stress from work, thankful to have a job today, been working through the pandemic since it began here in America, a big thanks to people like you helping me and others to have hope and keep going, You're an awesome person and musician and I have alot of respect for what you've brought to our lives.Take care of yourself, we love you man

[@willinghamrealestate3314]

That would be great for Queen and Adam Lambert to record new music. Adam is a perfect Frontman for Queen.

[@alexkx8599]

Thank you! I second and third that.

[@fryke]

@@alexkx8599 I would love it. However, the title here is misleading. Brian wasn't teasing it, the interviewer was merely asking about it and he brushed it off more or less. Teasing about such an album was done about 5-6 years ago and obviously hasn't happened so far. There's still hope, of course.

[@janedoe0987]

@Patrick Armbruster I'm not toally sure about this, but I don't think they can legally produce anything under the Queen name without John Deacon's approval. Unfortunately he hasn't spoken with his former bandmates in years so I don't think anything like that will ever happen...

[@fryke]

@@janedoe0987 They've been doing a lot under the Queen+ moniker, and I think they've got that down. John Deacon's main wish is to remain outside of it. So they simply can't release anything as "Queen", but they sure can as "Queen + Adam Lambert".

[@fryke]

@MusicAnalyst Reactions Oh look, a hater! ;) John didn't retreat because he thought Brian and Roger were in some way "fake". He just wanted to close the book on a story, that to him was finished. To Roger and Brian: It simply wasn't. Get over it and let them have their thing, which is being famous rockstars. Don't like it? Shuddup about it and go look for music you actually like, I say. Hating on other people's fun is some of the lowest things you can do.

[@andysnow7703]

I'd go and play with him on the roof and then have a drink or something later

[@AdinaIspas]

Brian looked tired and extremely vulnerable here, my heart went out to him. Also I think this year they should do something to commemorate Freddie’s passing - Brian says it’s not healthy, but what’s not healthy is to celebrate a dead person’s birthday after all this time, as if he were still alive. It means he can’t let go of the past, or even entertain the possibility that Freddie might have an existence in a different place. Adam actually believes that, Freddie living on as a spirit. So he might even be around but different, and that change is important because it means peace. Imprisoning him into what was leaves no place for what is. During these years of Queen’s rebirth it has become clearer. I agree that we shouldn’t be quick on celebrating immediately after someone’s death based on unverified and callous assumptions about whatever afterlife some believe in, it wouldn’t be human to do that... But it’s been 30 years... so maybe we are now in that better world and need to let the past go.

[@whileiwassleeping183]

Lovely interview, original music from QAL would be so welcome!

[@whileiwassleeping183]

@MusicAnalyst Reactions Well, it will sound different if John and Freddie aren't part of the composition and Adam is. But with Roger and Brian's input there will be similarities. As to how close to original Queen it sounds, we won't know til we hear it, but I am curious to hear what the three of them could create.

[@whileiwassleeping183]

@MusicAnalyst Reactions When you say "lost all their composing talents" what are you referring to?

[@twinkee1283]

@MusicAnalyst Reactions They have both individually created a great deal of music in the 30 years since Freddie died just not for Queen. Both have been extremely active

[@Nina-oi1qk]

He said "it's in the lap of the Gods" ...and she didn't even react.

[@marymayhew5002]

Oh No. I noticed that as well...

[@barbaramcintosh4360]

mary mayhew I was waiting for her to comment - I think Brian thought so too.

[@Nina-oi1qk]

@@barbaramcintosh4360 Obviously she does not know some Queen songs!!

[@sherrys7854]

She also missed that he said the lock down was hard for him, saying at the end something about him enjoying the rest of the lock down. I'm guessing she's a little nervous and on script. But her upbeat big smile was a bit much for his sincerity and thoughtfulness. What a wonderful man he is!

[@victoriadealmeidastudiogal9455]

13:29 to the interviewer: why in the world would Brian May celebrate Freddie’s death date? Freddie was one of his dearest friends. He was very appropriate clarifying that that was not a day to celebrate.

[@blondiebluetx64]

Victoria de Almeida Studio Gallery I wonder if she meant his birthdate because it, too, will be huge next year, being 75 years. I would have corrected myself but that’s just me. I can’t imagine she meant Freddie’s death, but who knows?

[@nancycarroll2969]

💯 agree💚

[@victoriadealmeidastudiogal9455]

Patti Marie McClure she did bring up birthday but also death date.Brian May did say he did celebrate Freddie’s birthday I believe. ☺️ I don’t think she really realized what she was saying. Maybe she was in awe she was interviewing him. I met him last year in Phoenix in July to present my painting of Queen to him. He was so kind, soft spoken really really beautiful person. Not too many famous rock stars like Brian May. I think he really cares about his fans. ❤️ true gentleman

[@AdinaIspas]

No offense but Freddie is dead. Continuing to celebrate his birthday for so long is denial of truth and attachment to the old. No-one is saying that they should have danced in the streets when Freddie died, we are all human... but this year nevertheless they should hold some sort of closure event. Just in order to become able to see the spiritual side, like Adam does, to symbolize change.

My wife and I have seen you lot 3 times and had tickets for the Q2 this year (rock on next year though!) but we'd love a new album.

I thought this was very well done! Thanks for the "virtual coffee break". We have all had the time to listen to the music that sort of "made us who we are." Never thought that Brian May, who made a career from music, was doing something similar. As for COVID, the natural way is for microorganisms to rise to the challenge of getting past our defenses. For those creatures it can come down to survival. This is not really that issue, though it is apparently human malpractice of all wako things. Creating the "frankenstein microbe" that is not a natural pathogenic critter is the brainchild of what kind of maniac?

He uses his noggin, don't need to be an astrophysicist like him to think about it properly. Get a vaccine that keeps you alive, or worry about the slight chance of a reaction and risk death, disability, severe illness or scarring on yourself or loved ones. It's maybe rocket science to some I suppose

[@JamesSmith-qy3eu]
