QUEEN Guitarist On ITV's 'This Morning'; Video Available

January 4, 2008

QUEEN guitarist Brian May was a guest on ITV's "This Morning" earlier today (Friday, January 4). Watch his appearance below.

Having originally issued the track as a free download for World Aids Day (December 1) to support Nelson Mandela's 46664 HIV AIDS campaign, rock group QUEEN and Paul Rodgers responded to public demand to make their newly recorded song "Say It's Not True" available as a commercial CD single release.

All royalties from world sales will be donated to Nelson Mandela's AIDS cause, 46664.

QUEEN's first new studio recording in ten years and Paul Rodgers' first in seven years, the track was rush-released by Parlophone/EMI throughout the world excluding North America.

Roger Taylor, Brian May and legendary singer Paul Rodgers, have been recording intensively for their first studio album together, expected to be released in 2008, and, unable to appear in the 46664 concert this month in Johannesburg, they decided to donate one of their new tracks instead…a brand new and powerful version of the song "Say It's Not True", penned by Taylor.

The track was premiered in the Johannesburg concert with a specially commissioned video which highlights the hardship of the lives of the 5.5 million South Africans infected with HIV AIDS.

QUEEN lost their lead singer Freddie Mercury to AIDS in November 1991. The band's last studio recording, "No-One But You", written by Brian May and released almost exactly ten years ago, was drawn from the experience of losing Freddie.

The single comes as an enhanced CD release carrying the full video shown at the Johannesburg concert.
