Brian May shares Freddie Mercury photo that ‘summons waves of affection’ | Music | Entertainment

Yesterday marked what would have been Freddie Mercury’s 77th birthday.

Both Sir Brian May and Roger Taylor paid tribute to their old bandmate and close friend, who died in 1991 aged 45 after losing his battle with AIDS.

Both active Queen members shared posts to “dear Freddie” and now the guitarist has more to say.

Sir Brian posted a picture of Freddie playing one of his famous Red Special guitars probably back in the 1970s.
