As Sir Brian May turned 77 this Friday, the Queen guitarist was in Tuscany to perform a set with Andrea Bocelli at his third and final 30th anniversary concert.
In backstage footage you can view above, the rock legend was surprised with a birthday cake, before the Italian maestro sang Happy Birthday to him live on stage.
Sharing the moment on social media, Sir Brian wrote: “How grateful am I ? Who gets to have Andrea Bocelli sing Happy Birthday for him ?!!!! (along with the entire beautiful Tuscan audience ! ) Well, a birthday I will never forget – Thanks all – BRI XXX.”
Meanwhile, the pair performed a Queen classic together during their set.
In the footage above, fans can view a clip of Andrea and Sir Brian performing the 1986 Queen power ballad Who Wants to Live Forever.
Penned by the guitar legend for the soundtrack of the Hollywood movie Highlander, it features on Queen’s A Kind of Magic album before being included on their second compilation album, Greatest Hits II.
Seal also famously performed the track at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, five months after the singer’s untimely death.
