Queen’s Brian May knighted for services to music and charity
Sir Brian May often shares how he’s feeling through the ups and downs of life on his very active Instagram account.
Most recently the 75-year-old has been left in tears of joy after visiting the rehearsal rooms of the We Will Rock You musical’s revival.
The Queen jukebox theatrical production ran for 12 years at the Dominion Theatre in London’s West End, becoming the longest-running musical at that venue after a decade.
Now the show is set to return to the nation’s capital with a 12-week run at the London Coliseum from June, with its writer Ben Elton starring as the Rebel Leader for the first time ever.
Sharing a snap from the rehearsals, the Queen guitarist couldn’t hold back his excitement or his tears.

Sir Brian wrote on Instagram: “LOOK !!! Had the joy yesterday of spending a day in rehearsals with the brand new cast of WE WILL ROCK YOU the Rock Theatrical – to open in May at London’s legendary Coliseum.
“The new company are YOUNG, HOT, and HUNGRY !!! I was moved to tears by some of the moments generated in this humble rehearsal space in Belsize Park.
“Soon they will stride on to a new stage, a new production, of the show that packed happy audiences into The Dominion for 12 astounding years. It’s a limited run of 3 months. BOOK NOW to avoid disappointment !!!”
