Outdoors, in “bubbles” or inside cars. These were some of the modalities that musical shows adopted to try to survive the coronavirus pandemic. Together with specialists, Brian May seeks to develop a safe alternative to indoor shows.
Founding member of Queen, May is also a doctor in Physics. In addition to getting the most out of the guitar as only he knows, he also spends time looking for solutions to everyday problems. Without being alien to the scourge of Covid-19, which is already hitting the world with its second wave, the Briton decided to put his scientific side at the service of society.
As published on her Instagram account, May visited the mythical Apollo Theater in London with a professor from the prestigious University of Cambridge and two experts in air circulation. “Do you wonder why I visit this place? To save rock and roll, of course”, you can read in the caption.
In plain language, without too many technicalities, May detailed how she plans to design an air circulation system that makes theaters and mass venues safe for people.

“One morning I woke up to the ghost of an idea: a way of trying to design an air circulation system to make theaters and stadiums safe enough in this pandemic situation to allow concerts as we used to know them” , wrote.
After detailing that during their stay in that theater everyone kept the recommended physical distance to prevent the spread of the virus, he said that they set out to study the operation of the ventilation system and test some theories. Evidence that can be seen in one of his most recent posts.
At the end of its publication, May recognized that it is necessary to be “cautious and responsible” since there is still much to investigate and know. “This is the initial stage and we have problems to solve, but if we succeed, even partially, it could be a preview to save the concerts that we miss so much. And of course, we have the Queen and Adam concerts in our sights. [Lambert] at the O2, reserved and sold for next June. The stakes are high. Well, we can dream, “concluded the musician.
