Queen have released a lost song featuring their late band member Freddie Mercury for the first time in more than eight years. Face It Alone was originally recorded during the British rock band’s 1988 sessions for their album The Miracle, but remained among those that did not make the final cut.
It was later rediscovered when the band’s production and archive team returned to the sessions to work on the upcoming reissue of the album. The single is the first new song released featuring Mercury since 2014’s Queen Forever album which included three previously unheard tracks with the singer titled Let Me In Your Heart Again, Love Kills and There Must Be More to Life Than This.
The former Queen frontman died from Aids-related complications in 1991 at the age of 45. The classic rock band – comprising of Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon – were founded in 1970 and created hit tracks together including Bohemian Rhapsody and We Will Rock You.
