Set for bohemian rhapsody

Fans in Shanghai will soon be treated to legendary rock band Queen's first show on the Chinese mainland. Chen Nan reports.

In 1997, Queen guitarist Brian May traveled to China to see a total eclipse of the sun, which was something that interested him as an astronomer with a PhD. He had a fabulous time traveling around the country that inspired him to write a song called China Belle.

Featured in his second solo album, Another World, in 1998, May sang: "There's a little lady living down in old Beijing/She got everything you need, well you know what I mean".
