Brian May has been given the all clear from cancer, he has revealed, telling fans that he is 'counting his blessings' as he makes his recovery.
The iconic guitarist revealed his diagnosis in late 2013, but has this week told fans that he has been told that he is now free from cancer cells.
'I got a great phone call from my specialist. He said, 'I have good news. The result of your prostate biopsy is here and we did not find any cancer cells'," he told fans on his website.
"So finally, as far as that vital organ is concerned, I am - thank God - in the clear. There are still some mysteries to solve, but I am going to take a moment to count my blessings."
May also discussed new Queen music due for release in the near future, featuring Freddie Mercury on vocals, calling the tracks 'magic'.
"I had a great day in the studio today anyway, even before the welcome news," he added. "And some Queen magic is happening ... I can feel it in my bones. It's annoying to have to be so secretive, but I guess I have to, for now.
"What I can say is the track we dusted off has the four of us -- Freddie, John, Roger and myself -- playing together on a track we'd all forgotten about.
May continued: "'It sounds so fresh. I got quite emotional hearing some of it ... some rough takes, some discussion and banter, and then a really good take, and some overdubs, and ... well, it's crying out to be finally brought into the world.
"I can't help but feel a buzz. I'm energised again."
