Other people: "When he's not rocking out on stage as a founding member of Queen, Brian May enjoys a healthy scientific interest in outer space.
But it's no mere hobby for the 76-year-old guitar legend to gaze upon the stars or research the nature of the universe. May, an accomplished scientist who has a doctorate in astrophysics, recently helped NASA return its first ever asteroid sample to Earth."
This song just keeps on giving. And I also noticed some #Queen style guitar harmonies halfway through the song. Which of course Chris - beeing a huge Queen fan - will enjoy 😂
On this day 45 years ago Queen shot the video for the ’start of the nude bicycle race’, which became the foundation for the song video and album poster. They released ‘Jazz' a month later which contained several classic tracks featured here.
“I want to ride my bicycle I want to ride it where I like”
It's painful watching the #FreddieMercury#Auction, all the significant iconic, cultural and indeed legendary pieces being separated and scattered around the globe to the richest of rich people. It's a feeding frenzy of wealthy vultures. Such a shame, a great, great shame.
I visited Sotheby's in London the other week to look and it left a huge lump in my throat.
All these literally legendary hand written lyric sheets being separated, it's wrong.
#art#history: for someone who regularly decries holidays, i sure am keen to hop onto any opportunity to toast my main mec, freddie mercury.
i wish i could impart some secret information about his political leanings; but all i really know is that people who knew him well say that he was a kind, shy & generous person. freddie himself said that he didn’t think pop stars made good mouthpieces for politics. o, well...at least he had the good sense to love #cats. #freddieMercury#sketch#music#queen
Today in the 77th birth Anniversary of Freddy Mercury, i bring you this amazing book with awesome pics and the full history of Queen from the beginning to the death of the best rock singer of our time
Claiming descent of a #saint, Lalla Aicha enjoyed her early life in the 1500s. But the Spaniards had forced her family, originally from Grenada, into exile & she vowed #revenge.
Married at 16, she became governor of Tétouan, Morroco. After her first husband’s death, she married a sultan.
Together with pirate Barbarossa, she soon ruled the #Mediterranean Sea.
She was known as Sayyida al-Hurra - the Free Lady.
It’s John Deacon’s birthday. What a guy. He made the amp that became a signature part of Brian May’s studio sound. And came up with the starting ideas for several of Queen’s mega hits. Including Another One Bites The Dust and I Want To Break Free. And about a dozen others. Including Back Chat, which I love.
Qween rocked Cobh on Sunday night, the last night of the Cobh People’s Regatta 2023. They’re an outstanding Queen tribute band, and they played all the hits, and soon had everyone singing along, dancing and cheering to the music. A short break in the middle of the set was required for the fireworks at 10pm, but the music started up shortly afterwards to the delight of everyone around.
Here's today's #dragqueen#lovefest 👑💄💋 (# 127)
This fabulous #queen is Pixie Polite, @PolitePixie & she's giving me Spiny Orb Weaver vibes in this shot 😍 & I'm living for it!
