it's half past the hour here in moscow this is tuesday's deadline it's also approaching and u.s. legislation is to reach a compromise a for the debt as the country's biggest lender china feels increasing discount. bowden's advanced responsibility for the plane crash that killed president kaczynski. but the published report still tries to share some of the players who brought. hundreds. of protesters have flooded the streets and squares of israeli cities some hear an echo of the arab spring and the child's calling on prime minister netanyahu to step down. next let me queen a rock guitarist and songwriter brian may talking to sophie schaeffer the not say

he talks about where he alongside from and freddie mercury and reveals his alter ego with an astrophysicist. it's great to have you with us today sir thank you for being so recently i was going through the glass bead game of passing and your eyes about music and what he says about music is that except it's art it's also true power over nations and human cells and then many people say that exactly why music is compared to exact sciences like math. so i never really got that because i finished piano conservatory and i always failed my math class now you as a man of music and science can't tell me how music is related with science or exact

science like math for example it's a hard question. yeah obviously there are mathematical things in music but ironically i think the most important things in music are be instinctive things so i don't know quite how that works out except maybe it gives you a balance but yes i love pure science and i love you or music and they're not the same for sure but. certainly throughout history there have been connections and people who were immersed in both of them you know from leonardo da vinci to. patrick moore you know. it seems to be that we maybe it's an obstruction thing maybe people who like these things don't like the clutter of the world don't want the complications of the world that we live in you know the pieces of stuff they just like to find the essence of life so maybe pure science is in some way close to be a sense of nature and music is close to the pure essence of human being at this point

do you see yourself as a man of science or a man of music. depends on the during the hour. do you believe in god those a. uncle richard dawkins there who is a very strong atheist i had a little kind of argument with him in a hundred ninety minutes because he he kind of i think he felt that he proved there was no good and my feeling is that's not a very scientific attitude because if you if you make a pronouncement you have to have evidence if you say there is no god where is the evidence there is no god you can say i don't know you know being an agnostic to me is a scientific point of view which is supportable but you know he's a very clever man he has a different point of view to me but in my experience i have felt at times that there is a god of some kind i don't subscribe to any religion organized religion best of different matter but if your question is about go right maybe there is a god but if there is a god we have very little idea of what that god might be that's inherent in what we

are we have very little understanding do you think we're alone out there. it's only opinion i have a strange feeling that maybe we are alone i don't know why this is you know but you you've spoken about the loneliness state you experience after each performance. and study i know because i've spoken to a couple of astronauts and been to the moon at for the past three days and they also speak about that last loneliness that they experience when they're out there in space. say send music in your opinion give you that comfort and loneliness. oh yeah maybe they do for a moment the i'm a bit ironically again maybe that's what makes you more aware of loneliness because you limps it's clinton and it's wonderful togetherness we people are with the universe and then the reality is you lose it so maybe that's why many of us when we

feel lonely i do feel a lot of loneliness but is it a comforting feeling. it's more comforting. but music when you're in it for the moment and science when you're in it for the moment it is all encompassing so yeah you don't have time to think i was going to ask you that earlier in your life you know is the band and. explore exploration for celebration was it sex drugs and rock'n'roll what was it for fame money it was never for fine because i don't particularly enjoy it was never for money because i was always happy with what i have even if we only had fish fingers. it's just because it was there i suppose it was exciting it was unknown it was a door that you thought you could walk through but then thirty years on you want back to finish your ph d. that you just dropped out from what you do that it was unfinished business. it's like you have a circle some place in the circle just doesn't quite. make it break task

accomplished but it didn't have to do anything with going to go kills towards your parents because you dropped out earlier on in life and maybe they're a little disappointed in you because you went off to work and were all you know there was a moment you know your stuff that mean. yeah my dad was very against it in the beginning because he. i think he saw in my education and the place i'd go to the place that he would have liked to have got to he never got his degree so it always held him back in his life so he saw me with this fantastic degree in. science and the whole world opening up to me and it looked like i was walking away from it and he he found that just. so yeah he was very upset and we told her about. the. various things happen but eventually he came to see us for and. he said to me. were there for you. and the funny thing was you know he was very

against all the time i was doing something off with queen he was drawing little maps and charts of how the record sales were doing and i mean you know he was following with great detail what i was doing so he was always kind of into it he just didn't perhaps want to. say that to me. obviously when you think queen and see you playing next to freddie mercury all those great hits come to my mind and then understand that when you reach that level of success with someone you definitely have a special one you form a special bond and i've heard you in another interview say that you still see freddie in a strange way can you elaborate on that it's like a family member you lose them but you don't quite lose them because you take the really you know we were so alone together. you get that closeness from somebody particularly in the creative environment either through framers everything to do. you can success but in the creative environment you learn to to know what

somebody else might be thinking you might not always be right but you have a feeling for that and so i still feel that and roger does as well in a particularly good applies more if we're working on a screen in the same room we think what would freddie say and he would say this. you know he's part of the creative process because he's part of what we are because we really chiseled this thing out all together me and pretty and roger so i mean for a while i didn't want to you know i was very. it was a point you know the grieving process where i just didn't want to talk about queen didn't want to feel that it was there even except it's history but i sort of got through that and now i regard it as part of my life which will never go away and it shouldn't go away because it's so big part of what i worked to create to fashion what do you think happens after death after death you know the big questions in

there. i don't know. i'm inclined to think that our view of the universe is very simplified you know in a way that you know beetle crawling over a piece of paper has a very limited view of the universe so i think we also have a limited beer so this existence that we know maybe just a very small part of the whole picture you know and i'm excited to think that that may be so. i'm not counting on it because maybe maybe at the end of your life but i don't know. you know one thing is certain you can't use it as an excuse you can't say ok you know this life is really bad but the next one is going to be ok you know you have to make the best of what you are so i can't not ask you i know that you've been very successful and yet you you were on the verge of suicide what stops you at that point that fear of death or love life. yeah i've had very bad depression which

a lot of people deal with at certain points what stops you killing yourself. i think what stopped me was the fact that i had children and people who depended on me and people who love me. and you just think in a sense is a very selfish thing to kill yourself because you make so much may soon you do terrible things to the people around you that would have been all my children. and maybe i would like to tell you that there was a glimmer of hope there but there wasn't at that time and now i remember driving and seeing the bridge and thinking i could do this and i just thought it would make you know i have to somehow. discover what what is going on and yeah it would be a bad thing to do because of the people around me and you come out more empowered after that once or actually. i think if you do certain kinds of work you come out

more empowered yeah and i did i did kind of chuck my life in and checked myself into a depression clinic which was actually the best thing i ever did because it was a new start it's like restarting your car you know and i had to ditch my preconceptions and that would definitely gave me a new. a new energy and it wasn't instant but it gave me the tools to deal with life in a slightly different way i think you have to get to the point where you throw everything away. because that's the only way you can make a new start i realised that if i did not deal with the depression i was no use to anybody so it's the same kind of logic is not killing yourself you know. killing yourself is really bad for everybody around you but was it staying in depression is very bad for everyone around you so it's not you struggling and trying to keep doing what you've been doing the whole time because it's it's going to be the same thing you know you have to somehow get outside. and trust that you can come back in as. a person who can deal with things of him. you've got all the money you want

here an educated man you love staring at stars would you consider maybe flying as a space tourist you know i don't like being a tourist it's funny that you say that you know if i was flying in there was some reason for it into space i think i would enjoy it more it's like being here. i keep busy in my life and it's quite hard for me to take a week off just to come to turn around and although i'd love to know but there was an excuse to come you know i had work to do i had things which could be achieved and i think that's made me and joy the sunshine and and the beach more the fact that i'm sort of part of the life of the sign and i love the sun and anyway and it's because of the really it's not because of being a tourist so you know if there was some reason to go into space if i thought it would. stop people torturing animals i would do it again. but i would enjoy it have you spoken to some of the brilliant brains times for the past three days what do

you think what you think could be or is high priest of the twenty first century the high priest of the twenty first boy oh boy oh boy. maybe nelson mandela. because he has a very important i think apart from wisdom and moments. he has the key of forgiveness which i think saved his country completely from a bloodbath and i think people the people who run this planet studied under nelson mandela and we would definitely get a better planet and i think that would be more than anyone else i think he has the key right thank you very much for this interview him.
