Queen have discovered a ‘beautiful’ song they recorded with Freddie Mercury more than 33 years ago.

Roger Taylor and Brian May said the track was laid down during the recording sessions for their thirteenth studio album ‘The Miracle’ in 1988 and 1989, and they plan to release it this coming September.

Commenting on looking through their song archives, Roger Taylor said: “We did find a little gem from Freddie that we’d kind of forgotten about. And it’s wonderful. Actually, it was a real discovery. It’s from the Miracle Sessions and I think it’s going to be out in September.

Brian May continued to the BBC: “It was kind of hiding in plain sight. We looked at it many times and thought, ‘Oh no, we can’t really rescue that’.

"But in fact, we went in there again and our wonderful engineering team went, ‘OK, we can do this and this’. It’s like stitching bits together. But it’s beautiful. It’s touching.”

Taylor added: "It's a very passionate piece."

How did you manage, to stay together for 15 years without any big trouble...?

JOHN : We fight a lot and hard, we all are pigheaded, no one does give in, most of all Roger and Freddie roar at each other over and over again. The new single brought a lot of fights, so we released Roger's song in Europe and in the States Freddie's song "Princes of the Universe". We will see who will win :)

Q: How long will Queen exist?

JOHN DEACON : I cannot see an end. I didn't learn anything else than to play Bass with Queen
