Queen Guitarist Didn't Know Singer Was Gay was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (antiMusic) Yes folks it is a slow news day. With that said, here is a story from Nightwatcher's House of Rock that might be of interest to some: Queen guitarist Brian May did not realize his band mate Freddie Mercury was gay for years - because the flamboyant star had a string of girlfriends.The pair were close during the early days of the band, but the legendary guitarist insists he had no inclination of Mercury's homosexuality.
He tells Britain's Daily Express, "No, I didn't know. I don't think even he was fully cognizant in the beginning. You're talking to someone who shared rooms with Fred on the first couple of tours, so I knew him pretty well. I knew a lot of his girlfriends and he certainly didn't have boyfriends, that's for sure. I think there was a slight suspicion, but it never occurred to me that he was gay." - more on this story
