""The first thing that struck me about Brian May was his serene, classic aura, which belied the rock legend his name represents worldwide," Bocelli said [via Classic Rock]. "This meeting evoked a genuine, deep esteem for this man of rare intelligence and culture - one which I hope is mutual. One of the best guitarists of our time, a songwriter who has penned numerous timeless hits, an astrophysicist, and an intellectual with a noble soul.""
"Per Setlist.fm, May joined the tenor onstage for "Canto della terra" and May's own "Too Much Love Will Kill You," a song the guitarist has rarely performed live over the past two decades. Here, May again takes lead vocals with the accompaniment of Bocelli and the symphony - to similarly stunning results, as captured in audience footage. The performances alongside Bocelli bookend May's health scare last September when he suffered a stroke and lost the use of his left arm temporarily."
Brian May and Andrea Bocelli teamed for a duet of Queen's "Who Wants to Live Forever" during the Andrea Bocelli 30 celebration in Lajatico, Tuscany. Performances from the event have aired on PBS and the duet has been posted on Bocelli's official YouTube channel. May takes lead vocals and also supplies lead guitarwork and dramatic chord swells, while Bocelli provides spine-chilling accompaniment alongside a backing symphony. May joined Bocelli again in July at the Teatro del Silenzo for "Canto della terra" and "Too Much Love Will Kill You," with audience footage capturing similarly stunning results. The performances follow May's stroke last September, and July footage suggests strong physical and vocal recovery.
