Forgive me if this has already been posted - I don't recall seeing it on here.
Brian May recalled Queen’s difficult early days, when many people took a dislike to Freddie Mercury – and the singer took a dislike to his own voice.
In a recent Q&A session (video below) the guitarist admitted the band had wondered if it might have been a mistake to tie up with the future star in 1970.
“When we first worked with him, it was a little unnerving,” May said. “Because he did a lot of running around the place and screaming his head off. So we thought, ‘Is this going work?’”
He continued: “And not everybody liked him, I’ve got to say. A lot of people found him kind of abrasive – but they all thought he was interesting and entertaining. At that point, though, he wasn’t the singer that we all got to know as Freddie Mercury.”
