Brian May on Freddie Mercury Going Solo & Working on ‘The Miracle'

Digitally restored and upscaled from original archive footage, this rare interview features Brian May of Queen reflecting on a pivotal moment in the band’s history — Freddie Mercury’s solo work and their return to collaboration on the 1989 album The Miracle. Brian shares his honest thoughts on Freddie going solo, how the band navigated that chapter, and what it was like to come back together creatively for one of Queen’s most ambitious and emotional records. 📼 Originally broadcast on the influential 24-hour Music Box television channel, which reached an estimated 60 million viewers across Europe and Asia in the mid-1980s, much of this content has remained unseen for decades.
