Speaking of the track, May said: “It feels like an amazingly healing song.“It’s an emotionally lifting track and we thought if ever there was a time to release the track, then this is it.

This might be the worst time to launch a career, but we feel good about it and we’ve teamed up with mental health charity MIND to benefit them. They’ll be invaluable in helping people through this.”

Meanwhile, the iconic axeman treated us to a rendition of his Bohemian Rhapsody guitar solo earlier this week.

It came day after the epic 1975 single came out on top in Radio X's Best Of British with Strongbow poll. It was the song's second consecutive win in our Top 100 poll, keeping 2018's winner, Live Forever by Oasis, at Number 2.

Hearing the news, May said: "How amazing. Thank you guys. I love all you Radio X listeners. I did anyway, but I love you more now!"
