Queen's Brian May Joins Foo Fighters For "MI2"

Guitarist Brian May of Queen is teaming up with the Foo Fighters for a version of Pink Floyd's "Have A Cigar," and the track is destined for the pending "Mission Impossible 2" soundtrack.

According to Queen's official fanclub, the "MI2" soundtrack will be released in May on Hollywood Records. Other acts reported to be featured on the album include Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Tori Amos, Eve 6, and PJ Harvey (see [article id="1428721"] "Eve 6 Mixes New LP, Takes On 'Mission Impossible 2'"[/article]); a spokesperson for the label cautioned that the final track listing for the album has yet to be determined.

This won't be the first time the Foo Fighters have tried their hand at the Floyd track, as the band previously recorded and released "Have A Cigar" as a b-side to the import edition of its "Learn To Fly" single (see [article id="1426193"]"Foo Fighters, Blink-182, Smash Mouth On For MTV Sports & Music Festival"[/article]).

Meanwhile,

a spokesperson for Guns N' Roses confirmed to MTV News that Queen guitarist May did indeed spend some time recording with Axl Rose late last year. "Brian spent a week with the singer," the spokesperson said. "They recorded several songs worth of material, but we have no idea what's going to end up on the end product.

Rose had told MTV's Kurt Loder last November that he planned to work with May (see [article id="1429774"]"Axl Breaks Silence; Talks About New GN'R"[/article]).

In other Queen news, two of the band's surviving members, May and drummer Roger Taylor, opened the Brit Awards in London last week with a rendition of Queen's trademark track "We Will Rock You" with the members of the U.K. boy band Five providing the vocals. Bassist John Deacon did not participate.

Queen's singer, Freddie Mercury, died in 1991.
