Brian May is in the new video for “You Made Your Bed,” from former X-Factor contestant Talia Dean.
In the video, May can be seen in a bedroom clinging to his childhood teddy bear as the police pound at the door during a wild night.
The bedroom set was designed by May, and includes space-themed bedding, a Jimi Hendrix poster, and a stack of his trademark Vox AC30 amps.
May explained, “I see this track as a very important marker in Talia’s career. It’s as if, in this song, she’s shaking off not just a relationship, but a whole way of life which she no longer wants to live. She and I are already working in the exciting new territory which this song predicts. But for now, this is song packed with pure naughtiness and fun, and makes me smile every time I hear it.”
May took the young singer under his wing, and oversaw the production of “Get Up,” a single released by Dean’s previous band, Kings Daughters, in the early days of lockdown in 2020.
