Brian May, dived back into his and Queen's early days and revealed how one of the UK's biggest bands of the early Seventies had a huge influence on them when they toured the US together, just when Queen was starting out.(Express)
The movie Bohemian Rhapsody previously gave a glimpse of those heady days, but Brian also opens up about the enormous and difficult personal sacrifices that he made – and whether he has any regrets.
He said: "Mott the Hoople were a great influence on us. They were our mentors in a way. We’re just starting off as a rock group. We have so many big ideas. We have songs, we have presentation ideas, etc.
But we've never been on tour, so we go on tour, very luckily supporting Mott the Hoople, who are a big band in those days. In fact, they should have been bigger if they hadn't broken up. I think they would have been like the Stones or whatever."

Brian May has said he is “so grateful to be alive” after suffering problems with his health.(Indipendent.ie)
