We wouldn't have put it out with the name Queen on it if we didn't think it was musically up to scratch.

From the beginning of Queen there was such momentum that I never had any time to do anything else. My energy was 95% focused on the band

When I'm gone, people will no doubt remember me for Queen, but I would much rather be remembered for attempting to change the way we treat our fellow creatures.

I'm pretty basic as far as technique is concerned. I don't use many gadgets, and I like the sound my guitar makes, anyway.

I had this idea... I wanted the sound to sing and have that thickness but yet still have an edge so that it could articulate. So my dad and I designed the guitar... the one that was made from an old fireplace.

I like to go for a walk or swimming or in the garden when I can. It's a busy kind of life, but I guess I'm lucky.
