I see he did Earth as a track , wonder if Brian plays on it

I had no idea he did Earth and Doin Alright on his previous solo record Amigo. Brian even does the opening line of Earth's verses. Lovely.

^Brian sings on both tracks. I wonder if the new album could have some input from Brian and Roger.

"he did Earth as a track"

Of course he did. It got a post/promotion on a Queen fan site. He should change his name to Tim Pete Best Staffell

Staffell's first album, Amigo, is pretty good, in my humble opinion. As is Pete Best's most-recent album, Haymans Green.

To be fair, he did write it and record it for his own band before Queen existed, so it’s his song. He has always kept politely away from cashing in on his Queen connections and is only interviewed if asked, and only ever released one solo album before now, and that was several years ago - Brian was happy to contribute a small bit to the Earth re-recording at that point but Tim doing that is far less cashing in that some other artists that Brian has played with/for.

If there’s a resurgence now in interest in his work with Brian and Roger and his friendship with Freddie through no pushing of his own but as a result of hem chooosing to portray this in their film, then why shouldn’t he respond to that?
