Three tracks that Freddie Mercury recorded with Michael Jackson thirty years ago are to finally surface later this year.
The material was recorded at a single session back in 1983, with Queen guitarist Brian May revealing to The Times that no further collaboration between the two progressed after more studio time could not be secured.
The encounter was far from easy, however, with Mercury reportedly unhappy when Jackson (wait for it…) brough a llama to the studio.
May has revealed that there will be ”something for folks to hear” within the next two months.
