In fact, when I went on the "Back To The Light" tour, I heard that the other members of Queen had already taken the decision to go ahead with this last album, without even asking my opinion. I was even more furious than before; I was not convinced that releasing this album was a good idea. As soon as I heard the news, I contacted Roger and John to make my disapproval known to them. To that they answered, that if it didn't suit me, they would go ahead without me! I was already fuming to have been treated that way, but even that was nothing compared to the anger I had after having listened to what they had put down on tape during my absence: it was truly catastrophic! It is because of that that I found myself in the studio again, with all tapes I had, of scraps and pieces that we had not had the time to finish with Freddie. I began to work on the scarce vocal fragments existing on tape, with the program Pro-Tools, and tried to reconstitute what could have been the final version if we had continued to record "normally". After several weeks, I reconciled myself with the other members of the group, and we got back to working together to finish the project. In total, we needed eighteen months in the studio and ferocious work on computers to achieve our aim. That year and a half of diving straight in to Queen, with all that it implies, like the emotions, and to spend thousand of hours in front of a computer screen literally exhausted me. After that I need to break off for some time again before I looked again at my second album. I would not have been able to link the two projects one after the other.
