Queen's Brian May to launch YouTube channel

Queen guitarist Brian May has announced plans to launch an official YouTube channel.

The musician will open his first channel on the video website on January 1.

May promises to include fresh content on the site as he looks into his other interests - such as animal welfare and science - as well as his non-Queen music endeavours.

The guitarist wrote on his website today (December 29): "The Brian May Channel is designed to carry anything on film or vid that relates to me outside Queen - to replace all the bits and pieces of music video that are currently around out there with new highest quality versions, and fill in the gaps; and to cover under one umbrella the other areas that I operate in.

"Stereoscopy, Astronomy (eventually!), and Animal Welfare and Rights issues. Each of these areas will have their own section on the Brian May Channel. But the intended pivot of it all is the entirely new part that we’re calling Brian Talks.

"This section will carry current ‘to the camera’ comments, updates and communications, and I’m hoping it will be a proper ‘voice’ for me, an outlet, as well as a way of glueing together the rest of the channel."
