Brian May

Gibson, the iconic and leading global instrument brand, has shaped sound across generations and genres of music for over a century, becoming one of the most relevant, played, and loved music brands around the world. Today, February 22, Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi, Sir Brian May, James Bay, Rosie Frater-Taylor, and more Gibson artists joined the Gibson team and fans to celebrate the opening of the Gibson Garage London, which officially opens to the public on Saturday, February 24, 2024.

It might be a musical stretch to even think of the British rock-pop band Queen and U.S. folk-rock singer John Sebastian in the same thought bubble. But it’s really an ironic numbers thing about them both that just came to mind.

On the latest episode of Rock Classics Radio with Jenn, legendary guitarist Brian May joins to discuss the deluxe release of his Back To The Light album and play some of his favorites from Queen, The Beatles and The Who.
