Gone but never forgotten, Freddie Mercury is one of music's true great icons - and, according to his Queen bandmates, we haven't heard the last of him...

A new Queen collection, Queen Forever, has been confirmed by Mercury's former co-star Brian May, who promises their new music will be as magical as that of their unforgettable heyday. Big promises, but if anyone can pull it off, it's Queen.

"It is quite emotional. It is the big, big ballads and the big, big epic sound," he told BBC Radio in a recent interview. "We had to start from scratch because we only had scraps.

"But knowing how it would have happened if we had finished it, I can sit there and make it happen with modern technology."

With Freddie Mercury's unforgettable and unmistakeable tones heading back to our ears in the near future, take a look back at some of the secrets and lesser known facts about the Queen frontman's life. How many of these are new to you?
