The Struts have teamed up with Brian May for a reimagined version of their 2013 single Could Have Been Me.
The original track appears on the British glam-rock band's 2014 debut album, 'Everybody Wants', while the revamp kicks off with the Queen legend's unmistakable Red Special guitar licks, adding a new layer of arena-rock grandeur. Previously announcing the collaboration, vocalist Luke Spiller said:
"I'm absolutely ecstatic to announce that the Struts and I are set to release a reimagined version of Could Have Been Me, featuring my hero the legendary Brian May! This song is all about seizing your dreams and living life to the fullest, no matter the obstacles. It’s a powerful anthem that reminds us to chase what sets our souls on fire. Collaborating with Brian on this track is a dream realized, and I can’t wait for you all to feel the energy and inspiration behind it. Hopefully this song will go on to inspire many more people to take life by the scruff of the neck and drink it down deeply! Every day is a gift. Let’s celebrate them together x"
May added: "Working with Luke and The Struts has been a joyous journey for me. I became obsessed with this great song ever since I was inspired by the original version and felt an uncontrollable urge to mess with it! It carries a great positive message for rebellious kids of all ages. And, together, WE ROCK!!"
