Unheard Queen Track Surfaces After 50 Years!

Brian May is set to delight Queen enthusiasts with the premiere of a long-lost track, 'Not For Sale,' recorded over fifty years ago. The guitarist will host a special Christmas show on Planet Rock on December 22, where this unreleased song will be broadcast for the first time. Originally captured in 1974 during the sessions for Queen's second album, 'Queen II,' the track was never officially released.

This unearthed gem, written by May himself, has been remastered and is slated for inclusion in a 2026 re-release of the 'Queen II' album. May expressed his excitement about sharing this work-in-progress, noting that while bootleg versions by Smile might exist, this specific Queen recording is entirely new to the public. He is eager to gauge listener reactions to the song.

May's Planet Rock special, also airing on Christmas Day, will feature his personal festive music selections and reflections on his career. This debut comes after May's recent recovery from health issues, including a stroke and heart attack. The broadcast offers a unique glimpse into Queen's early history, providing a special gift for fans ahead of the holidays and the 'Queen II' album's comprehensive reissue.
