Brian May has revealed something that sent chills through Queen fans around the world — Freddie Mercury, he says, still visits him in his dreams. The legendary guitarist opened up in a rare, emotional interview, recalling a recent night when he dreamt Freddie was beside him again — laughing, teasing, and singing like they used to in the studio. “It felt so real,” May confessed. “He looked at me, smiled, and said nine words I’ll never forget: *‘You kept the music alive — I’m proud of you.’*”
Those words, May said, echoed in his mind long after he woke up. When he shared the story with drummer Roger Taylor, the band’s longtime friend and rhythm anchor was visibly shaken. “Roger couldn’t speak for a while,” May admitted softly. “Then I saw tears in his eyes. He just said, ‘That’s Freddie, exactly what he’d say.’”
The dream took May back to their late-night sessions at London’s Musicland and Montreux studios — the laughter, the arguments, the creative lightning that made Queen immortal. “He’s gone in body,” May reflected, “but his spirit is woven into every note we ever played. I still feel him standing beside me when I pick up my guitar.”
For fans, the story is both heartbreaking and beautiful — a reminder that Freddie Mercury’s energy, wit, and love for music never truly faded. Decades after his passing, Queen’s bond remains unbroken. “Maybe,” May added with a faint smile, “Freddie just wanted to remind us that he’s still watching — still singing along.”
And for Brian May and Roger Taylor, that dream wasn’t just memory. It was a message — one that only true friends, and true legends, could ever understand.
