Queen have released a "lost" single featuring the real voice of Freddie Mercury. A composition called Face It Alone (“Face it alone”) was recorded while working on The Miracle album in the late 1980s, but never made it to the record.

Queen production team found and restored the track as she began work on the forthcoming re-release box set of the album, scheduled for November.

We sort of forgot about this track. But here it is, it's a little gem. It's wonderful, a real discovery. This is a very passionate piece.

Queen drummer

Guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor first told fans about the existence of "Face It Alone" during an interview back in the summer.

This single will be the first new song featuring Freddie Mercury released in over 8 years. On the 2014 album Queen Forever, the band included three previously unreleased tracks with Mercury, including Let Me in Your Heart Again, Love Kills and There Must Be More to Life Than This.
