Brian May has commented on reports that the Darkness' Justin Hawkins would be joining him and Roger Taylor for a special Queen performance to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the legendary band's first chart hit.

"some wishful hacklet has put two and two together and made three and a
half. Well, it's not April Fools day yet, so I guess the joke is on ....The Fabulous Factual Sunday People!"
Talking of Queen - there's a magical bootleg online just now that utilises vocals put down by Freddie Mercury during a "broadway rehearsal" style demo. It's called 'New York At Last' and it sounds so smooth and fresh you'd be forgiven for thinking Freddie had put it down in the great studio in the sky just last week. Although Queen's catalogue is also owned by EMI (they who disliked Danger Mouse's Beatles bootleg project so much), word is that the reaction to the remix has been so good amongst the Queen faithful that there are positive murmurings among the band's people. We'll let you know more when we get it - meantime more info
