Music lovers, rejoice! 'Queen: The Neal Preston Photographs' releases worldwide today.

Featured spreads are from Queen: The Neal Preston Photographs, Reel Art Press's highly anticipated "official book" on the band—with texts by Brian May, Roger Taylor and Neal Preston, who started documenting Queen on- and off-stage in 1977. "Many of the pictures in this book have never been seen, and as a fan, I was amazed at the treasure trove of unseen gold I uncovered in the files," Preston writes. "It is some of the best work I have ever done. Taking these photographs allowed me to get to know Freddie, Roger, John and Brian in a different way than other people because I watched through a camera, which does not lie. It doesn’t have to. It’s invisible.
I think Freddie would be proud of this book. I can picture myself walking down the airplane aisle and he’s looking at it very intensely. I ask him if he likes it and he looks right at me and says, 'It's beautiful darling, it just needs to be bigger. . .' I can literally hear him saying that as I write this."
