Brian May announces re-release and new music video of his classic single ‘DRIVEN BY YOU’ ahead of remastered Back To The Light album. “The song Freddie Mercury generously gave his blessing to be my solo track.” Released on June 25, 2021. Brian May’s first solo hit, and the unforgettable TV ad it was made for, came from the most unlikely of origins. ‘Driven By You’ is, without doubt, one of rock’s most rousing and lasting anthems. Originally written for a Ford car television commercial, the solo track was a worldwide hit when it first debuted as a single off May’s 1992 ‘Back To The Light’ album. But the unforgettable song had its beginnings oceans away from the open roads of the UK countryside that were framed in that TV ad.

Originally released in November 1991, ‘Driven By You’ saw success worldwide including reaching No 6 on the UK Singles Chart and No 9 on the US Billboard Album Rock Chart. Re-released to download on June 25 ahead of the forthcoming re-mastered reissue of May’s “Back To The Light” album on August 6, the reissue of the track comes with a scorching new 30th Anniversary video edit. The performance was originally filmed when the Queen legend sang the track live for the first time at the 1991 Guitar Legends concert in Seville, Spain, and during his 1992 South America tour.

    Listening to this song makes you realise just how important Brian is to the sound of queen as a whole. Queen isn't just the Freddie Mercury show.
  • Hi Bri!! Hi everybody! I'm Claudio one of the boys in the second car crazy following you over Buenos Aires highway that lovely spring afternoon on November 1992. The first car seen on the vid at 1:03 is driven by Adrian, besides him in the front seat is his mother. The second car seen on the vid at 1:06 is driven by my friend Roberto, Mariel is also in the front seat besides him; in the back seat is a younger Claudio (me, now I'm 53🤣) thumbs up for you 👍, besides me are Danny and Jimena. All we were devoted Brian and Queen fans!! Life is a roller coaster, and for that very moment we feel we were in the ride with you. Our energy and passion can be seen in our faces, we could hardly believe you were so near us! We were lucky enough to meet Rudy Dolezal with his camera capturing all the action, but I think we are representing so many passionate fans throughout the world who love, enjoy, need, support and believe in your music since your first steps with your band. I remember I was so sad with Freddie recently gone, and very afraid of Queen light to turn off, but your songs definitely took me back to the light, and somehow fortunately Queen light also is today brighter than ever before. Thank you Brian for being a great inspiration in my life, and in the whole world. By the way, I don't know who gave you the Indian Chief pendant, but maybe I can find who and I will tell you, that might have been also in Argentina. For the rest of us, the crazy guys in the cars, we are all still OK and rocking to the rhythm of your songs, waiting to have more roller coaster rides with you as soon as possible!! Thank you very much again, keep safe and keep on rocking!!

    This song actually gets better every time you listen to it :)

    Brian is Queen, the sound, he's not just a guitarist, piano, the guy is a musical machine, Freddie's obviously the man but without Brian there wouldn't have been Queen.🎸🎤📀
  • The 8 people who disliked are just simply jealous of how awesome he is.
  • @photoshopcafe
    When you have Steve Vai playing Rhythm. Great song!
  • @hippiejane2683
    Love how much Cozy Powell is featured. A lovely tribute! 🔥🔥🔥
  • @Mogsy28uk
    One of the best driving songs ever......plus best Ford car advert tune ever!! 🎸🎸🎸

    I love Freddie, of course, Roger and John - they each add their own talent and are amazing people in their own rights - but I admit, Brian has always been my 'favourite'. I mean, what a guy. Makes me both laugh and sad that he doesn't think he's a particularly great singer. Back to the Light is an incredible album, and I am so, so, so excited that it's finally getting the attention and recognition it deserves, all these years later. Never pre-ordered something so fast. This new 2021 mix sounds awesome (can't wait for the remaster of 'Resurrection') and I just know the whole package is going to be flawless. A true singer, a true guitarist, composer, and frontman. Fantastic. Back to the Light is a proper rock record, thirty years on.
  • @birdiecar
    Kevin Keagan is a legendary guitarist 🎸 and a damn great singer too. He was just as important in Queen's success as Freddie Mercury. 👏 🎉😊❤
  • @chaschk2
    Brian, I am a chronic pain patient and your music makes my nerve pain bearable! Love you.
  • @Mcqlfc
    When your rhythm guitarist is Steve Vai, you know you're the master! The out of phase tone is to die for!!
  • This song sums up Bono’s and my relationship I love it because I love him so much and he deserves all that I can give him to make him happy and in doing so it makes me happy he is a wonderful man and I never forget it another meaningful song for me from the Queen band members
  • @Mary.F.
    Everything we do, is driven by Bri !!!
  • @CMI_MUSIC
    Two positive things about this reissue: 1) Uncropped front sleeve photo of Brian 2) CD debut of Driven By You (Ford Advert version) Everything else was available on CD for about 30 years. Great! What a campaign!
  • The smartest man in rock & roll. Brain May is a inspiration to my little boy.
  • What a great song.... Brian's voice and the drums of Cozy ..... unforgettable
  • @marcschndr
    The best guitarist and one of the best rock's song writer
  • Imagine if Freddie(RIP) was still alive Queen would be number 1 band in the world
