It’s about seizing dreams and living fully—collaborating with him is a dream realized.” This duet promises to inspire, with a performance video featuring May and The Struts dropping alongside the single.
A Defiant Anthem Reborn
Originally a 2013 breakout, ‘Could Have Been Me’ became a global empowerment anthem, lighting up radio playlists, rock clubs, and even Sing 2. The 2025 version amplifies its defiant spirit, blending May’s legendary guitar work with The Struts’ dynamic sound. Comprising Luke Spiller (vocals), Adam Slack (guitar), Jed Elliott (bass), and Gethin Davies (drums), the band has evolved from opening for The Rolling Stones and Foo Fighters to selling out worldwide gigs. Past collabs with Robbie Williams, Ke$ha, Tom Morello, Def Leppard, and more set the stage for this Queen-infused triumph.
