Every time I listen to Jeff Beck my whole view of guitar changes radically. He's way, way out, doing things you never expect.

People have been rumouring that Queen are going to split up for the last eight years at least. I've got some great cuttings at home from people saying 'One thing is certain, Queen will no longer exist in a year's time.' And that was in 1973.

Everybody thought I was a bit of an eccentric for wanting to be out there looking at the stars, but I still do

I've always lived in that guitar world. I have noticed kids being more into the real essence of guitar music now.

A Queen track has those big, thick, block harmonies.

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

My children hate me being such a big star. It's very hard for them to have a father who is always in the public eye.
