Sir Brian May is set to rock the festive season by unveiling a previously unheard Queen track, Not For Sale (Polar Bear), on his Planet Rock Christmas Special this week.

Rare Gem from Queen II Sessions

The song was recorded during sessions for Queen’s iconic 1974 album Queen II but has never been released—until now.

Sir Brian revealed, “It’s a song that goes back a very long way, but to my knowledge no one has ever heard this version.”
Plus, fans can catch a festive tune from Sir Brian’s wife, singer and actress Anita Dobson.

How to Listen

  • First broadcast: Monday 22 December at 6pm on Planet Rock
  • Repeat: Christmas Day at 1pm

Queen, formed in the early 70s, featured Brian May alongside Roger Taylor, the late Freddie Mercury, and John Deacon. Their hits include Bohemian Rhapsody, Killer Queen, and We Are The Champions.

With six UK number one singles and 10 number one albums under their belt, Queen was crowned the most played rock act on UK radio and TV this century by Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL).
