Brain May was born on July 19, 1947 in Hampton, London. Brian’s father was a draughtsman who helped him build his first electric guitar by hand when he was just a kid. Brian attended Imperial College London where he studied math and physics. During his time at school, he was in a band named Smile. After that band broke up, he hooked up with three other musicians from the area, Freddie Mercury, John Deacon and Roger Taylor. Those four men went on to establish the band Queen. The band was formed in 1971 and within five years, they were one of the best known bands in the world. Queen continued to play together until Freddie’s death from AIDS in 1991. The band will occasionally perform together for reunion shows, often without John Deacon. After a short solo career, Brian now tours with Kerry Ellis, a singer for whom he writes and produces. Brian May is also a co-writer on the upcoming release “Crinoline: Fashion’s Most Magnificent Disaster”, a 3D visual journey through crinoline’s history. This book was created for an upcoming exhibit “Undressed: 350 Years of Underwear Fashion” and will be released on April 16, 2016.

This property has been owned by Brian for 35 years. The house is pretty well documented through multiple interviews being held here. The home is decorated with gold records and has paneled rooms and a minstrel’s gallery. The landscaped garden, with proper observatory, leads to Brian’s office which is a small garage on the property. The home is rumored to be filled with stuff from a large painting of a mermaid sewing on a beach to a Flash Gordon pinball machine. It is also rumored that Brian now spends the majority of his time in London with his wife.
Brian May’s net worth is estimated to be $175 Million due to Queen royalties and current ventures.
It may be, there are some stories around dating back to 2002 that he had or was going to purchase a property in Ravenshead. However I am unable to find any reliable information to confirm this.
