Freddie Mercury's life story is being turned into a Hollywood film.
The legendary Queen frontman - famous for such hits as 'We Are The
Champions' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody' - tragically died of AIDS in 1991 and now
his former bandmate Brian May has revealed a biopic about his troubled life
is on the way.
The guitarist told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "There is a film in
the pipeline and we're all involved in it. I'm not allowed to say much about
it and casting isn't finalised but we've had some incredible offers to play
Freddie. Really incredible."
May has also lifted the lid on his next project, a new album with Queen
drummer Roger Taylor.
It will be the first Queen record of new material since Mercury's untimely
death.
May said "It's going really well. Is there a track which will be a tribute
to Freddie? Well, we're just writing what we want at the moment but it's all
a tribute to Freddie. I mean, without him, we wouldn't be here."
The rock band's back catalogue is already the inspiration for long-running
West End musical 'We Will Rock You' and recently a TV documentary, 'Freddie
Mercury: A Kind Of Magic', was aired to commemorate what would have been the
singer's 60th birthday.
