A recently released deleted scene from Sammy Hagar's AXS TV show, "Rock & Roll Road Trip," shows Queen's Brian May revealing his secret recording sessions with Adam Lambert.
Saying that he had actually recorded some music "in secret" with Lambert, May added, "We haven't felt it was right to put it out. We just didn't think we hit the right kind of vibe."
The guitarist, who was discussing his recording projects with the Red Rocker during the show, also spoke about his projects with Freddie Mercury, Kerry Ellis and Kings Daughters.
"I like playing my guitar and I like instrumental stuff, but to me a song is about the singer - and music is about songs because you have some message to convey and that's what the singer does," May says in the interview.
He adds, "The rest of it can be important, but it's not as important as the person who's putting across the idea."
Earlier in the week, it was revealed that Queen and Howard Blake's soundtrack to the 1980 sci-fi movie Flash Gordon would appear in a box set celebrating the film's 40th anniversary.
The package will also include a feature titled "On The Soundtrack" featuring May and Blake.
