Queen's Brian May plays in pyjamas at Cobham shop

Sir Brian May has been a mentor to friend Talia Dean and performs in her new single

The owners of a furniture shop in Cobham, Surrey, were stunned when Queen legend Brian May rocked up to play guitar in his pyjamas.

It was part of a music video filmed in Cobham Furniture for the new single of May's friend, X Factor singer Talia Dean.

You Made Your Bed was released on Friday, with 10% of proceeds going to the Crisis homelessness charity.

Dean's mentor May, who lives in Surrey, also performs a guitar solo during the track.

Talia Dean was an X Factor contestant in 2017

She told BBC Radio Surrey: "He's such a good friend and a good person.

"If you say to him 'look I'm filming a crazy video in a furniture shop where we're all going to be bouncing on beds and causing chaos - are you up for it?' he goes 'I'm in, tell me where and when and I'll bring nine amps!'.

"He plays the guitar the whole way through but then has a 16-bar absolute corker of a guitar solo in the middle, which isn't done these days and he absolutely smashes it and rips and shreds through the song and I love it - and he does it in a pair of pyjamas."

Years since reaching the live show finals for what she calls the "brutal, ruthless and cut-throat" X Factor in 2017, Dean is excited about the release of her latest single.

But she said the music industry has changed from "the days like Queen when they handed Bohemian Rhapsody to a DJ and said 'play this!'".

Describing her new track as "joyful", Dean added the money raised for charity will help "get people in beds over the winter".

"A lot of people end up homeless because of relationship breakdowns and being in toxic environments and having to flee," she said.
