Brian May is seeing in 2019 by unveiling his new single at Nasa’s headquarters.
The Queen guitarist, 71, is releasing New Horizons, his first solo work in over two decades, as a “tribute” to the spacecraft of the same name.
The single, being released digitally, will air for the first time at Nasa, in Maryland in the US, on New Year’s Day.
Spacecraft New Horizons is on course for a flyby of the Ultima Thule object on January 1, when it is expected to break its own record for humanity’s most distant tour of a cosmic object.
OK Folks! I’m off to New Horizons today. In their coming New Year, perhaps we ALL need New Horizons. I know I do. Hands up anyone whose Christmas didn’t feel perfect? Well, me too. I’m grateful for so much, but there are problems and pain in my life that I’m not able to fix, and I think Christmas magnifies this stuff. So this year I will keep busy (it helps!) and I will look for new horizons – new ways of looking at life and making the best of it. OK! One more time – this time in WIDE SCREEN – the third ‘teaser trailer’ for my own New Horizons Track released on New Years Day – at 12.02 am Eastern Time – that’s 5.02 am in Britain. I’ll be counting down to the New Year for NASA New Horizons!! Watch for details!!! Cheers folks! Bri
