I was there last night and the single ahead of the box set is 'My Baby Does Me (N-Dubz extended Really Doe$ Me mix feat. Dappy)'. Brian sent a video saying that when they originally recorded it, Freddie had always hoped that someone like Dappy would come along years later and be able to expand the original vision the band had. They tried it out at the time with Milli Vanilli but unfortunately their track on the master was found to be totally silent. Brian was proud to say this is the first time N-Dubz had worked together since their 2011 single 'Morning Star', which led directly to their reformation on this years 'Charmer'. Describing Dappy as 'A REAL friend', he confirmed that Dappy had replaced Extreme as the artist closest to what had Queen had been about all these years.

Remind me again when will they premiere this? In only seven days. And then it could take a hundred or more for memories to fade. i'd have thought we could be looking at another 17 years yet: In the year of '39 came a song out from the blue The announcement came out that day And Queen bring good news of a song so newly heard Though their fans so tirelessly wait

I love The Miracle to bits and I'm really glad they've planned on doing something new with it but My Baby Does Me, really? Definitely not single material. And I don't know about Dappy being featured... Please tell us you're joking. 😂

Now I know this is imminent I’m checking every five minutes for news. It’s doing my head in. It’s been Monday for ages in New Zealand, it’s been a long day. Plenty of Queen played on NZ radio today to acknowledge Freddie’s Birthday 🎉

About what time do they normally announce the releases on the day of Freddie's birthday?

Now has it been CONFIRMED they’ll make an announcement today or are we assuming based on history? Just want to make sure some of us in this thread aren’t getting our hopes up for nothing…

I can’t see there being an announcement Brian’s Instagram was updated that he’s on his way to Armenia, nothing else at all!!

Over here it's starting to look like nothing will be done for his 76th birthday. Real shame, as always.

There’s nothing wrong with choosing to be hopeful and getting excited about this new release. We don’t get releases like this often, and although it may not be many peoples first choice of album to get special treatment I’m certainly looking forward to it. I’m not being naive, I’m well aware of previous disappointments, I’m choosing to be optimistic. If it turns out to be a bit of a turd I’ll still try and give it a polish. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I would hate to see this site become really negative and uninviting 😊

Admittedly it's not what I would have chosen for a special edition, but I'm looking forward to it, albeit with some reservation until we know for definite what's going to be on it. I do think all the unsubstantiated speculation about the box set has become a little tiresome, when all we know for definite is that 'a new Freddie track' is being released, and word is (still unconfirmed - other than in the fan club magazine) it's Face It Alone. They've not even said it's going to be part of a bigger release, so whilst I don't want to appear overly negative, I'm keeping my expectations low, in the hope that I will be pleasantly surprised. 🙂

Brian went into quite a bit of detail in the FC magazine about an album of alternative versions of songs etc., so I’m sure we’re going to get a Miracle Boxset, the timing of the announcement is what we don’t know.

According to this site m.yes24.com/Goods/Detail/107094635 the released date for the boxset is supposed to be 28/10/2022. Before three weeks I have found another date 21/10/2022 If it is true, the the single will be 1-2 weeks Before. P.S. Click on expantion with the names of the band, the details of released will be shown.

I disagree with the timescale for the single, when Queen Forever had their new songs heard for the first time, they were on September 19th and the album was released until November 10th I think. BBC Radio 2 have been adamant that the new single will be played in September. I honestly believe it will be this Friday or next week as they'll want Brian or Roger, or even both, to talk about it in the studio. Later in the month will be the next Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert in LA.

If they want me to buy a vinyl again, which I can't play, and don't want, and it also contains an exclusive track, I might even bin the whole thing and just get the download. But, as we keep saying, no one knows until they make the announcement.

The link Dimitris has supplied gives the exact same details that had been speculated on before, word for word. I'm not sure that's official news.

I have quit collecting, nowdays Queen limited, collectors stuff etc is a well milking cow machine. It is very good oiled by record company's sales & marketing department.
