Queen rocker flies into a rage over BA first class

AMId the seemingly endless bad news of terrorist attacks and disasters, one man apparently has more pressing concerns.

Queen guitarist Brian May is preoccupied with minor changes to the seating plan when he flies first class on British airways.

The 69- year- old, who is married to former EastEnders star anita dobson, is furious that the recliner seats have been reconfigured so they are no longer immediately next to the windows.

‘Travelling on planes has for years been something I have had to do, as part of my job,’ explains May.

‘as I fly today with British airways, I wonder if I am the only person left in the world who likes to relax in a comfortable seat and dreamily turn my head to the window and get lost in the everchanging wonders of the planet as they drift by?

‘I wonder this because I’m not aware of anyone except me complaining about the new way the seats are configured in Ba First Class.’ May, who memorably performed a guitar solo on the roof of Buckingham Palace at the start of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee concert, wails about the seating changes: ‘I hate it. It costs an arm and a leg to travel this way and I feel that we no longer get our money’s worth.

‘In the old days you sat right next to the window and the view was wide and spectacular.

‘Now they sit you about three feet from the window and so low down all you can see from your seat is a small patch of sky. It’s boring — frustrating.’

He adds on his personal website: ‘If anyone out there agrees please let me ( and British airways) know — OK?’

It is just the latest in a string of frustrations that May has voiced publicly over recent years.

Last year, he attacked ‘b*****d basement builders’, claiming the digging of multilevel ‘iceberg basements’ was turning his West London neighbourhood into a ‘hellhole’.

an outspoken opponent of fox- hunting, he criticised Theresa May for saying during the General Election she would allow a free Commons vote on ending the ban.
