Queen’s Brian May is no stranger to collaborations. But it is still something of a surprise to see him guesting with N-Dubz singer/rapper Dappy. Dappy launched his solo career with the single “No Regrets,” for which May expressed a liking. A few phone calls later, and May is on Dappy’s new single “Rockstar.”
Dappy tells the U.K’s Daily Star, “I would love Brian to make me a guitar. He told me all about his guitar that he made with his dad out of wood from a fireplace in his old house. He even got a five-sided coin to put in the neck and he replaced the Queen’s head with his own head. Now that’s his pluck, so I want one with my head on it.”
Lyrically, “Rockstar” is about the so-called 27 Club of artists that died young. "It’s all about paying homage to the 27 Club and amazing artists such as Amy Winehouse,” says Dappy. “It’s a song about people getting to their lowest but it talks about turning a negative into a positive.
“Brian told me: ‘You are a very different artist and unique, so carry on doing what you’re doing. There’s nobody else challenging you.’”
Dappy is 24. Brian May is 64. The track is scheduled to be released on February 26.
