Brian May Unveils Unreleased Queen Song
Brian May, the guitarist from the famous band Queen, recently shared a song that no one has ever heard before.
This song, called 'Not for Sale (Polar Bear),' was recorded a long time ago for Queen's 1974 album 'Queen II' but wasn't included in the final version.
Brian played it on the radio during a Christmas special.
He said it was a work in progress back then and is excited to see what people think.

The band's frontman, Freddie Mercury, passed away in 1991.
Brian and another band member, Roger Taylor, still perform with a new singer, Adam Lambert.
