Queen Acceptance Speech Polar Music Prize 2025
you What a night What a lineup What a talent Your majesties your highnesses excellencies ladies and gentlemen When we started our band in 1970 in and around the colleges of London University we had ambitions but never dreamed of the journey that was to follow We were fortunate in the fact that our four wildly different personalities came together to achieve a wonderful chemistry What was an incredible trip around the world and the cities of the world through so many triumphs and twists of fortune in so many countries came to a tragic halt with the loss of our dear Freddy Mercury This was a hammer blow especially to John Deacon our bass player who found he couldn't go on So depleted by 50% uh Brian and myself determined to keep our m music alive and with the help of wonderful singers like Paul Rogers and of course the great Adam Lambert um yeah we continued to tour the world to this present day The Polar Music Prize is exceptional in the fact that unlike other awards it recognizes the entirety of an artist's career unlike any others I think what an honor to be included in this glittering cavalcade of previous laureates True Olympian company indeed We are so proud to be the recipients of this incredibly prestigious award also to share the stage with these wonderful other two laurates Herby Hancock and and Barbara Hanakan We are honored and proud We thank you Brian [Applause] Your majesties your highnesses excellencies ladies and gentlemen thank you all so much for honoring Queen in this way Sweden has already been very kind to us over the years and this really is the icing on the cake What a wonderful privilege And I didn't realize what it was going to feel like to to accept award in the company of Barbara Hanigan and Herby Hancock It's beyond such an honor for Queen Swedish audiences actually have been one of the most loyally supportive uh in the world ever since we first played in Goththingberg in 1974 And we all got our clogs Some of us still have [Applause] them In this special moment I contemplate how that younger Brian May in 1974 would have felt if he knew that we would be living this kind of dream 50 years in the future It would have been almost unimaginable to me While we as an emerging young rock band were away on these early Queen tours my dad Harold May back home used to create beautiful maps of our journeys around the the globe Of course my dad actually disapproved very strongly of what I was doing He was heartbroken that I'd thrown my life away my scientific career in order to play rock music His dream was for me to get what he called a proper job It's too late now But of course my dad forgive me talking about him my dad was the one who sat with me night after night when I was 17 in his little workshop in our house creating with our bare hands the homemade guitar the red special that was to be my companion all the way around the world many times in the future including here of course And from being a very disapproving parent eventually when I finally flew him out to see us in Madison Square Garden he took my hand and said "Okay I get it now." Which is lovely So my dad's long gone now but I kind of feel he's here with us tonight in Stockholm So I've never done this before but tonight I would like to share my quarter of this magnificent prize with my dad Harold May Thank you Dad and and and on behalf of Freddy and John my dear friend Roger and myself thank you Sweden tent tuck spalier [Applause]
