Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor say they're both surprised that people are interested in their band 40 years on.
The group were inducted into the Q Hall Of Fame at yesterday's (24 October) Q Awards, and speaking in a video interview you can watch above, the pair admitted they never thought they would still be involved with the band by now.
"It's just amazing that people still listen to music, like the music and hopefully it adds to daily life. Life Steve Jobs said, make a little 'ding' in the universe," suggested Taylor.
"It is amazing, when we were kids our parents music was something we couldn't related to," added May. "But [Queen] does seem to cross the generational gap. It's a wonderful feeling."
