Did Brian May Accidentally Reveal Guitar Hero: Queen?

Look at that picture up there. You see that? That's Freddie Mercury, and he's cooler than you. I don't care who you are...you try going out in public wearing an eyeball suit while surrounded by cherubs, and you're gonna get laughed out of any room you step foot into. Not Freddie. Freddie is a badass.

Despite your relative lameness in comparison to Freddie, you might be able to live out your frontman dreams if a new rumor is true (and if you forgot that Singstar Queen already exists). Legendary guitarist Brian May might have accidentally let the news slip about an upcoming Guitar Hero title based around Queen.

In an interview with Swedish news site DN, May stated (translated) "We have invented a way to let users participate in the game during our concerts, but I can not say more than this now. There is a secret." The article also mentions that the game is due out next year.

Whether or not the rumor is true, there's no doubt that a Guitar Hero: Queen would be pretty sweet. Also, you may be asking yourself why I chose pictures of Freddie Mercury for this story, despite the fact that it was Brian May that started the rumor. You want to know why? It's because pictures of Brian May are pretty *** boring by comparison (see below).
