Daily Mail<\/a>,\u00a0“No, I would dread it if that happened to Queen.”<\/p>\n“I love the Beatles, the Beatles are like the Bible,” he said. “But four films, I feel like it’s a horrible kind of thing where it’s a competition between them, that can be pretty invidious.”<\/p>\n
Queen frontman Freddie Mercury\u00a0was\u00a0the subject of the 2018 movie Bohemian Rhapsody, and May says, “I’m happy with the film we made about Freddie, for now, I don’t need any more than that.”<\/p>\n
He adds, “I feel very proud that we did it for Freddie, not for us, it made it right for us, it was the right thing for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the same interview, May explains why he and Queen will not be playing England’s Glastonbury Festival, which is set to return in 2027.<\/p>\n
May, the co-founder of the animal welfare organization Save Me, has said in the past that the band never played the festival because\u00a0its founder,\u00a0Michael Eavis, supports badger hunting, something May’s opposed to; May tells Daily Mail that hasn’t changed.<\/p>\n
“I wouldn\u2019t do Glastonbury next year because of the politics of the people who run it,” he says. “Unless that changes, I won\u2019t do it.”<\/p>\n
May\u00a0notes the band has never really been asked to play.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think the conversation of us doing has ever taken place because they know how I feel,” he says.<\/p>\n
