Freddie Mercury is set to release new records from beyond the grave.
Queen star Brian May has uncovered tapes of his late bandmate "tinkering around" in the studio and is planning to turn them into several new songs.
He revealed: "There are still some things in the vaults with Freddie messing about on vocals which fans won't have heard. There are bits of him tinkering around, which could be used.
"I expect they will get released at some point because I am sure people will want to hear them."
Queen are currently performing with a new frontman, former Free singer Paul Rodgers.
But Brian insists there was no specific plan to replace Freddie, who died of an Aids-related illness in 1991.
He explained to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "There have been so many stories doing the rounds over the years that we were looking for someone to replace Freddie and quite frankly they were all nonsense.
"I always said if we find someone then I want it to happen organically and naturally and that is exactly what happened. I played on stage with Paul a couple of times and we just clicked."
