Brian May has aired his views on the current UK government, stating "We need a change of government, and if there isn’t one, I think we will all slit our wrists."

The comments came when he was asked for Queen's Christmas message in The Guardian.

May is no stranger to speaking his mind when it comes to politics, last year leading thousands on a London march to protest the badger cull planned by the UK government.

The iconic guitarist said at the time: “If the Government don’t listen to us today the pressure will still be there.I don’t think there would be any shame in cancelling the policy because new evidence has come to light. It’s not going to save money. I’m not the person who cares about money, I care about everything else.”

The star went on to mention Adam Lambert in his latest interview saying: “He brings a lot of fun to the situation, the way Freddie did. In the old days, we were worried about everything being perfect. And now we have a real awareness that there aren’t many people out there playing completely live, so you treasure the mistakes you make.

Queen with Adam Lambert will perform a special gig on New Year's Eve near London's Big Ben which will be televised from 11.15pm on BBC One.

Only 2,000 tickets will be available for Queen + Adam Lambert Rock Big Ben Live. Tickets on sale now. Buy tickets safely and securely on Seatwave.
