Continue to work with Roger in any way that works for them. Selfishly, I'd like them to continue touring even after the one starting Jan. 13, 2023. But I wish they would spread the show dates apart. They are just toooo close together to allow for rest and rejuvenation. Brian's fingers may end up bleeding! At this time of life, resting up after hard work is a very good idea, especially after heart trouble. And Roger - needs to start exercising daily and lose that belly before he becomes diabetic. It can happen even well into old age!

Brian May is a true Renaissance man. He is an excellent musician, unbelievably intelligent, an insightful and caring person whose health difficulties over the years has made him an even more compassionate human being who does not shy away from discussing sensitive and personal topics while also providing a safe haven for injured animals, and through his books and 3D photography hobby, he exposes everyone to so many possibilities. Anyone would be incredibly fortunate to call him friend. I am a fan who feels Brian is also my friend!

Just read this & couldn't help breaking down sobbing. I've always admired him so much! It sucks getting older & having to hear that those you've admired, loved, & who brought you so much happiness are no longer w/ us, in the physical. I hope, God willing, that I'll meet him on the other side, so I can tell him how much he's meant to me. :-(

It angered an already homophobic crowd. It was nothing to do with people hating Queen. People who are supporters of animals rights aren't always animal lovers. While it's not the case with Brian it's a rampant myth.

I understand exactly what you mean about hair. You are so right. But Brian's hair is always clean and attractive. Sometimes hair provokes a bad reaction because it does not appear to be clean (whether it is or not) or neatly groomed. Brian's hair may be a mass of curls but it is under control and clean. Honestly, Brian's hair is iconic. Nobody would know who he was if he tied it back or cut it off.
