The new-look Queen are in the studio recording the band's first album since late frontman Freddie Mercury died in 1991. Guitarist Brian May recruited former Free singer Paul Rodgers to take over vocal duties for a series of live dates earlier this year.

And the pair are now with drummer Roger Taylor recording new Queen songs for a forthcoming release.

May says, "Roger, Paul and I have been in the studio the last few days working on new material. Quite an occasion really. This is our first new Queen recording session for 15 years. It sounds pretty amazing to my ears. Very different from anything Paul or Queen have ever done - and pretty epic."
