Brian May

Brian May thrilled revellers at Britain's Reading Festival on Friday (26Aug11) when he joined rockers My Chemical Romance onstage during their headlining set.

The Welcome to the Black Parade hitmakers closed the first day of the weekend event, and they invited the guitarist to perform with them for the final 10 minutes of their show.

Frontman Gerard Way introduced May by telling the crowd, "Ladies and gentleman, Brian f**king May", before the Queen star joined the band for several tracks, including a rendition of We Will Rock You.

The three-day Reading and Leeds twin festivals also feature performances from Muse and Pulp.
