This brilliant physicist did not stop his studies after becoming famous. He earned his second degree in astrophysics in 2017. He has spent the last few years as a legitimate NASA collaborator and is currently working alongside some of the smartest people on Earth.
This man touches the hearts of millions every day with his musical artistry, as he strives to create a better future for the entire planet.
There’s no doubt Brian May is one of the greatest living musicians, and his song catalog backs it up. The most memorable tracks recorded by Queen were created entirely by Brian. “Who Wants To Live Forever” was written on the trip home from the studio after seeing audition footage for “Highlander.”
It seems he created some huge singles on a whim. All of this creative influence came to a complete halt when Mercury died. The band was suspended for years and Brian focused on finding success in life. It was hard for him to carry on without his close friend by his side, and the problems of living together seemed to hit him even harder. His marriage failed, and John Deacon stopped playing guitar for the band after Mercury’s death.

Now the band is back on the road and they’ve found a raw talent replacement for Mercury. Adam Lambert was recruited after appearing on American Idol. Quinn is back on tour and they were doing their best show in Japan. Brian still has that incredible spark he’s known for.
You can see in the video that the lyrics of her song “Love Of My Life” are still true to her. The stage is bare and Brian is sitting in the middle with only a guitar. His voice expresses all the pain he feels for losing his friend. These familiar notes seemed to blanket the crowd in complete silence.
The audience respectfully joins in singing along with Brian moments later. The crowd of people are overflowing with their hearts with every word, and it really is a fitting tribute to the late Freddie Mercury.
Quinn has always been committed to bringing together different groups of people for the same cause. They were among the first rock bands of their generation to dedicate entire concerts to charity. There is an unforgettable quality to this beautiful rendition of a folk song.
If you take the time to watch it for yourself, you will immediately understand how special this unique performance really is. Freddie Mercury may not be on stage in support of his lifelong friend, but Mastermind’s love for him can be heard around the world in this gripping recording.
