no matter what you say friends, co-workers, manufacturers, etc ... is certain that there are several traces unpublished (collaborations, different versions, whole Queen and solos song).
the only hope I have about is that QP decide to publish them for the fiftieth anniversary in the 2021; perhaps in this way also fans of the first hair can listen too and closes in beauty history of the Queen. in the last 15 years, at least I, I have seen a fury therapeutic in keep alive what it is not more.
this is my opinion, nothing more
best regards

Highly unlikely mate. Brian might now publically have less of a sense of conflict than before, but the original lyrics of I go crazy had something like "...you better stay away from me Bowie" for some obvious reason.

Brian never got on with Bowie in the studios and walked away when Bowies ego was flying!

Brian never liked Bowie very much as he was too opinionated.

He's just a different type of artist to Queen without the constraints of a band format so probably is difficult to 'get' for someone with 44 years of being a Queen fan.

I happen to think he's fantastic for the most part (when I was a kid it was all Queen and Bowie in my bedroom) but as an huge fan I also recognise he probably was a bit of a dick.

The article makes out that this is new info for Cossar's book, but wasn't this all already in Hince's book, released several year's ago? The quotes look like almost word for word extracts...?

His tiny brain, which has a dogmatic love for the original lineup of Queen that will skew any information that works against it.

Brian has told the story numerous times. They simply butted heads because there were too many people in the room. Queen weren't used to having anyone else there, and David was used to being a sole proprietor and signing the cheques. It was foreign territory for them both.

To keep the peace and for the sake of the song, Brian left to let the others finish the track.

I can imagine it was made worse by Bowie not really digging the Queen sound. Brian does a massive BM solo that we'd weep over and Bowie would come over the intercom ',,,erm Brian, can you play it more like *insert obscure jazz trumpet player* would if he were the main fish supplier to the Savoy in the 20s?'
