Freddie Mercury would be up to if he were still alive today, but
Brian May believes Freddie would have remained frontman for Queen.
Speaking with BBC s Simon Mayo, May surmised that Freddie would probably be busy with many projects, but Queen would have been one of them. He would still be saying, Oh, I need to do my solo stuff, but he would be coming back to the family to do what we do, May said. The funny thing is I feel more and more that he is kind of with us in a way. Maybe I m getting to be an old romantic, but Freddie s in my day every day.

For the last few years, the Global Citizen organization which raises money and awareness to try and help people in poverty around the world has moved away from big live festivals in favor of online livestreams that anyone can watch, bringing its message of promoting global unity through the use of major celebrity performances and speeches to a much bigger audience. Global Citizen also has a knack for assembling a surprisingly wide range of musical acts, appealing not just to cool young people but also uncool old people (as well as hypothetical uncool young people and cool old people).
