Singer Freddie Mercury's duet with the late King of Pop Michael Jackson could soon be released after old tapes were discovered.
Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor have confirmed that undiscovered tracks recorded by the frontman are being finished by the band, reported Daily Mirror.
"There's more in there than we thought, in the Queen source archive. I'm a little nervous of saying there's an album there, but there's certainly a few tracks ... We've found some Freddie vocals, some demos," May said.
The singer and the late King of Pop worked together 30 years ago in California but failed to release anything after struggling to find the rime to record further tracks.
"We thought we'd exhausted everything that was around and could be worked on. But since then a number of things have come to light from various sources that we'd just plain forgotten about, including the stuff with Freddie and Michael Jackson," May said.
