Brian May has revealed that he has uncovered tapes of Freddie Mercury ‘tinkering around’ in the studio.

May says he now plans to turn them into several new songs and release them, he says: "There are still some things in the vaults with Freddie messing about on vocals which fans won't have heard. There are bits of him tinkering around, which could be used.”

He told the Daily Star: "I expect they will get released at some point because I am sure people will want to hear them".
