For all you Queen fans out there, a good composer mate of mine, Stuart Leathem has produced a work using Freddie's own sampled vocals. It'll be premiered at the Freddie Mercury 69th Birthday celebrations at Casino Barriere Montreux, Switzerland, and released as a work on the 7th of next month:

Stu previously back-track produced and released a posthumous Freddie Mercury song with the co-operation of Queen themselves, using Freddy's rehearsal spec tapes.
Check out his other compositions on his sites and YouTube. His music might seem to some here avante garde, but is a clever and evocative synthesis, that plays on both classical and more dissonant/atonal styles to produce stuff that defies bracketing, but he's a true artist, and the defying bracketing is always related in his work to the real paradoxical situations and questions we really experience. It's always a progressing journey for the listener, and takes you places, never stuck. Plus you get to hear new Freddie.
Mercurial music for Mercury in this case.
Stu is also a hoot with dry wit and ad-lib comedy.

"The release will in part benefit The Mercury Phoenix Trust, the HIV Aids charity set up in Freddie's name following his death in 1991, aged just 45."
