Freddie Mercury Is Back In The Charts With A Newly Released Track

Freddie Mercury is back in the UK charts this week for the first time since 1993. The late Queen frontman can be heard on a newly released version of 'Time Waits For No One', written by Dave Clark, and originally recorded in 1986 as part of the soundtrack to the West End musical 'Time'. The song has already had more than 400,000 plays on Spotify, and the video has been viewed 4.7 million times in just a few days. John Caddell and Larissa Nolan discussed this and more in our music slot, including the release of Bono's live duet with Pavarotti on 'Ave Maria' and a new album from Thom Yorke.
