"Queen have confirmed plans to release a new album featuring previously unheard tracks sung by late frontman Freddie Mercury. In an interview with BBC Radio Wales, Brian May - who had previously teased the possibility of a new LP - revealed that the record will be released by the end of the year and is likely to be called Queen Forever.  The unreleased songs date back to the 1980s and feature Mercury&amp;#039;s vocals over recently recorded instrumental tracks, which will be merged together using ProTools. May discussed what the album will sound like, explaining: &amp;quot;It is quite emotional. It is the big, big ballads and the big, big epic sound.&amp;quot; The Queen guitarist disclosed that he is restoring the songs himself along with bandmate Roger Taylor. &amp;quot;We had to start from scratch because we only had scraps,&amp;quot; he explained.  &amp;quot;But knowing how it would have happened if we had finished it, I can sit there and make it happen with modern technology.&amp;quot;  Brian May on new Freddie Mercury track: &amp;#039;Queen magic is happening&amp;#039; May has previously revealed that Mercury&amp;#039;s unreleased material includes a 1983 collaboration with Michael Jackson.  Jackson&amp;#039;s recent posthumous album Xscape didn&amp;#039;t feature the team-up between the two singers, but it is unclear if the song will appear on Queen Forever. Queen are set to play with Adam Lambert on their first North American tour in nearly ten years beginning on June 19 in Chicago.
