Queen released a rediscovered song featuring Freddie Mercury on Thursday – the band’s first new track featuring the late singer’s instantly recognizable vocals to come out in over eight years.
Guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor first told fans about the existence of “Face It Alone” during an interview a few months ago.
The track was originally recorded in the late 1980s during the band’s “The Miracle” album sessions, but was never released.
Queen’s production and archival team found her again as they began work on a reissue of the album, which is due for release in November.
“We kind of forgot about that track,” Taylor said in a statement. “But there it was, this little gem. It’s wonderful, a real discovery. It is a very passionate piece”, added the drummer.
“The Miracle,” Queen’s 13th studio album, was released two years before Mercury died of AIDS-related pneumonia in 1991.
The upcoming reissue, released with an eight-disc collector’s edition box set, will feature six previously unreleased songs, as well as dialogue between the band – Mercury, May, Taylor and bassist John Deacon – while in the studio.
Queen last included three previously unreleased songs with Mercury on their 2014 album Queen Forever.
“I’m glad our team was able to find this track (‘Face It Alone’),” said May.
“After all these years, it’s great to hear the four of us working in the studio on a great song idea that was never finished…until now!” he added.
