Queen’s lead guitarist Brian May<\/a> revealed the one secret ingredient to his glowing, ageless look as he nears his 80th birthday next July.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The legendary musician is 78 years old and has been living his life in the spotlight since finding fame with Freddie Mercury<\/a> and Roger Taylor as one-third of the 1970s rock band that soared in popularity following the release of their hit single ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ in 1975.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since then, Brian has been adamantly keeping the band’s memory alive, touring under the name Queen+ with Roger, despite Queen’s cessation of operations as an official unit following the death of lead singer, Freddie, on 24 November 24, 1991.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Navigating a busy schedule for most of his adult life, Brian revealed how he manages to maintain a healthy lifestyle<\/a> in the face of late nights and constant public appearances.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch of the remastered Queen II album in London’s Soho Hotel, Brian treated fans to an exclusive playback of the ‘Collector’s Edition’ reissue and shared longevity secrets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He referenced his signature head of curly hair and said: “It’s still here to some extent. It’s probably the cold showers, as I have got more hairy all over. I like the business of a hot shower and then a cold shower, like really cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It builds your immune system and makes your hair grow,” the rockstar explained, according to the Daily Mail.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nRewriting history\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brian’s wellness revelations came just one month after he cleared up rumours<\/a> about a rift between himself and the iconic singer, Freddie, who led Queen to recording history during his lifetime.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The star reflected on the band’s writing process surrounding their mega-hit ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ and admitted it didn’t go as smoothly as he may have hoped.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He explained why he had a bone to pick with the frontman over one of the song’s now most memorable lines.<\/p>\n

“I remember berating Freddie for saying that he was travelling at the speed of light,” Brian remembered about making the track during a recent appearance on the Science Friday podcast. The guitarist said he confronted Freddie over his concerns about the sentence being a bad line. \u00a0<\/p>\n

He continued: “I go: ‘Freddie, you cannot travel at the speed of light. I’m sorry’. And he said: I don’t [expletive] care’.”<\/p>\n

Brian added: “But you know, it’s all about fun and joy.” The song kept the line and appeared on Queen’s 1978 album Jazz before being released as a single the following year.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queen’s lead guitarist Brian May revealed the one secret ingredient to his glowing, ageless look as he nears…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":209426,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9070,191,11895,9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-209425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-celebrity-health","tag-celebrity-news","tag-health-fitness","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209425"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209425\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209426"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
