May joined the reunited group for their encores at the Hammersmith Apollo, where they teamed up for three tracks – “Bareback,” “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” and a cover of Queen’s “Tie Your Mother Down.”
The Darkness have offered up pro-shot footage of “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” and “Bareback,” and we’ve snagged fan-filmed video of the Queen cover.
"I just want to say, how happy are we that The Darkness are back together and conquering the world again? How happy are we? How f**king happy are we?" May asked the London crowd.
"Brian May joined us onstage for three songs. A dream came true for us tonight,” posted The Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins after the gig.
Reunited after five years, The Darkness spent time earlier this year playing shows in its native U.K. and overseas, including stops in Sweden, Spain, Japan, and Italy.
In the new year, the group will tour North America for the first time since 2004, beginning February 1 at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto.
