Brian May has confirmed details of a new LP from Queen featuring vocals from the band’s late frontman Freddie Mercury.

The group's guitarist revealed the news in an interview with BBC Radio Wales saying that he and drummer Roger Taylor found the unreleased material in a Queen archive.

The pair are believed to be putting unheard Freddie vocals to new instrumentals.

Brian told the news provider: ‘We found a few more tracks with Freddie singing and all of us playing and they are quite beautiful. People will be hearing this work towards the end of the year.

‘We are going to put out an album which will probably be called Queen Forever. It is a compilation but will have this material that nobody in the world has ever heard. I think people will really enjoy it.’

The news will follow a North American tour over the summer with the band hitting the road with latest vocalist Adam Lambert.

Last year the band received a PRS for Music Heritage Award at the site of their first gig at UCL in London.
