Queen legend Brian May has opened up about his lunch meeting with Korean hitmaker Psy, which led to them deciding to work on a project together.

The iconic guitarist recently confirmed that he will collaborate with the 'Gangnam Style' star, but he explained to Britain's The Sun newspaper that sitting down to talk with him was rather intimidating because of his fast and global success:

"It turns out he's a massive Queen fan and he says he's in the business because of us, which is always nice to hear. I was quite nervous to meet him. The guy's had 1.6 billion views on YouTube. It turns out that he was pretty nervous too."

"So we just sat there and looked at each other for a while. Then we had a good conversation and it was nice. It was a friendly lunch... We talked music strangely enough, in its various forms, and our history."

Speaking about Psy's commercial appeal, May added that he believes he is talented and won't disappear any time soon: "He's not a flash in the pan, he's made six albums. I've come to understand what he's about. He's a very thoughtful guy."
