"I lost my dad, my marriage and the band... I thought about suicide but
Anita saved me...."
BRIAN May is exhausted. His face, framed by the notorious wild mane of hair
is pale, the features look drawn.
The legendary guitarist of rock band Queen has had little sleep for weeks.
We Will Rock You, the spectacular West End musical which features 31 Queen
hits set to a new story by Ben Elton opened last night, and since January,
Brian has devoted every waking moment to it.
As co-producer with Robert De Niro he is at the theatre day and night,
dedicated and completely obsessed.
But working so hard he is absolutely exhilarated. "It's insane," he tells me
happily, backstage at the Dominion Theatre as the sound of We Are The
Champions pounds through the building.
"You just chuck food down yourself. I don't even have time to go to the
toilet, for heaven's sake. And yet I feel great. Very focused and very
fortunate."
