'Gangnam Style' Rapper Psy To Collaborate With Queen Guitarist Brian May?

The rapper has made no secret of his admiration for Queen

Psy may have another future hit on his hands after revealing that he is meeting with Queen guitarist Brian May to discuss the prospect of them collaborating together.

The South Korean hitmaker has proved to be a success on his own merit following the viral popularity of his singles 'Gangnam Style' and 'Gentleman,' but it looks as though he may finally be getting help from a member of one of the most legendary bands ever.

Speaking to Radio 1's Scott Mills on Monday, Psy revealed that he had a scheduled meeting with guitarist Brian May the following day. “You remember that I was and I am a really huge fan of rock band Queen? It seems like I’m going to have a brunch with Brian May tomorrow,” Psy told the DJ on Tuesday.

Hinting at a possible collaboration, Psy added: “Seems like it. I don’t know, I’m just going to eat tomorrow, but I’m super excited. The band was an inspiration to me since I was 14 or 15 until now.”

Earlier this week, Psy also praised late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, describing him as a huge influence on his career.

“If it wasn't for Queen at Wembley, I wouldn't be a pop star,” Psy told The Sun in reference to his performance at Capital FM's Summertime Ball on Sunday.

''When I was growing up I would watch Freddie Mercury with all those fans in the palm of his hand. He is the best.''

Meanwhile, it was revealed this week that the video for Psy's latest single 'Gentleman' has now clocked up more than 400 million views on YouTube meaning he is well on his way to enjoying similar success top 'Gangnam Style,' which became the first music video to pass the one billion mark in December.

Suddenly I wish that gig had never happened.

Please, no

Have some dignity Dr B

Brian May is selling himself to anyone that expresses an interest in him. Slut.

It seems like these wacko collaborations are always Brian's idea. Are there any that started with Roger?

/\ Holy - mother - of - God.

The fucking lunatics have taken over the asylum.

When you think back to the 70s and 80s, and all the great true artists that Queen could have collaborated with in the studio, and all we got was Bowie (and some Jackson and Rod Stewart which has never seen the light of day), yet for the last 15 years Brian has just whored himself around the absolute bottom of the barrel in a clear attempt to get that all elusive number 1 single in each decade to keep the pattern going (70s, 80s, 90, 00s, etc..). I have no aversion to him working with credible artists (even the Lady Ga Ga track was pretty good), but there is no way he can claim that working with the likes of Dappy, Psy, Britney, Five etc... is for artistic reasons, and is anything other than a publicity driven affair.

Having seen a pic of the 'brunch' it features Kerry Ellis - I bet she hates feeling obliged to say "yes of course Brian, I'd love to" when he says keeps turning up on her doorstep and saying "fancy recording a charity song in aid of lions?", "fancy recording a charity song in aid of badgers?", "fancy recording a crap novelty Queen cover with Psy (in aid of lions and badgers)?"...............

Please no.

It's okay, I can just exist in my own blissfully ignorant reality where Brian and his actions only existed pre-98 or so.

He really is a tit!

He's more likely to be sniffing around her asking for a bunk up than record any good quality music............

Beyond retarded.

Brilliant.

I hope Brian refuses. That spy guy is not even a musician.

Neither was Dappy though, and that didn't stop him.
