Andrea Bocelli on 'honour' of Brian May duet and future collaboration

For the last two summers, Sir Brian May has played live at the Teatro del Silenzio in Tuscany alongside Andrea Bocelli.

Last year, the show took place on the Queen guitarist's birthday, and this year, the pair were captured performing the Queen classic Who Wants to Live Forever.

Sir Brian famously penned the track for the band's A King of Magic album, which was also the soundtrack for the film Highlander.

The live footage can be watched in the YouTube video below, where fans will also find Andrea Bocelli's reflections on working with the rock star and his thoughts on future collaborations.

Speaking exclusively with Daily Express, Bocelli said: "Brian is well known for being Queen's guitarist and for having written extremely famous songs. However, less people know that Brian May is also an is an expert in astrophysics and has written books for university students. He's a man of a high culture. So I'm really honoured that he has this pride and respect for me. And in the last few days, there was a video that's been released, a duet that I released within the last year of us performing at the Teatro del Silenzio. We've had a huge amount of views, and I'm really pleased about that.

As for a chance of a future collaboration in the recording studio, the Italian tenor simply smiled and said: "Yes, why not?"
