"Brian May reveals plans for final resting place"

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/spain/11569565/Brian-May-reveals-plans-for-final-resting-place.html

Quite a stark difference from Freddie, who didn't want anyone to know where his ashes would be kept...

Makes me sad to think of the rest of Queen dying one day.

Oh no, don't turn me into a puddle of gloom.

Or, is it the marketing plan to get more people to his tour? Because, if it is, then it works, I'm seriously considering going to Rock in Rio right now.

...

But, seriously. Again. That article makes me wanna visit the Canary Islands right now.

It's not so much of a plan, as it is a wish or desire.
Seems like the Telegraph didn't have anything better to write.

Nice article actually....I think the title is kinda misleading, he says it's where he 'probably' wants his ashes....

And he mentioned that cus it's where the next Starmus thing will be....

(and by the way, there was a cool article about the last Starmus festival in a recent issue of Astronomy Magazine, Brian's all over it....he's actually listed as a 'contributing editor' or something like that)

Well it`s possible, he visited the canarys during his period with Queen a couple of times, somtimes before they go for touring etc.
Lovely place for sure.

A true atheist wouldnt give a flying fuck coz they are dead......., just kidding. I think a lot more about what will happen to his guitar rather than him after he departs this horrific sphere... what do you reckon? I think he will take it with him... can you image what it is worth money wise? His son would sell it for a tenner the day after....

Another World's pics are taken on the Canary Islands so... seems like one of his favourite places in the world.

don't see why. whatever - you'll always have the music...and at some point he will stop making music....
our heroes die all the time
personally i'm at an age where many many of my own musical/film heroes are gone or long gone

Bonham, Scott, Ruffin, Elvis, Dio, Lynott, Redding, Joplin, Harrison, Orbison, Gaye, Lord, Adams, Cocker, Montrose, Delph, Moore, Miller, sledge, rhoads, cook, hutchence and marley....the point is:
if you actually spend your time feeling "sad" over every artist you miss...you'll have very little time left for living. rejoice in what they left us...enjoy the music, because they ALL did something we never will
part of them - their very soul - has gained immortality - through their music.

^^^ Too true! Plus, not be be morbid, but we're gonna die too.

Yeah I agree - good perspective.

Orbison is great, btw, "In Dreams" and "A Love So Beautiful" are just wonderful, and he has many more of course, all sung with that smooth voice.

I'm buying Brian's ashes on eBay.

Yes. Yes, I am.

Already saving up...

Don't mix them up with chocolate drink mix.

Or snort them like Keith Richards.

To be honest this surprises me in a way - I'd have thought he'd want a woodland burial.

It's probably quite positive of him to talk about mortality - we, as a species, have this habit of pretending it doesn't exist and then being surprised by it.
