Filmmaker Rudi Dolezal had a longtime friendship with the late legend, Freddie Mercury. Speaking with the New York Post, he recalled a party he once attended with the Queen icon, Rod Stewart and Elton John. It was at this time that the idea of a superband was brought up by Stewart.

“He was the greatest housewife you can imagine,” said Dolezal. “Freddie invited me to his private functions often, and, at one dinner party, the guests included Rod Stewart and Elton John. I remember there was a lot of bitching about other artists, and about themselves.”

He then reminisced: “I think Rod came up with the idea of forming a group called Nose, Teeth & Hair, because Rod had a big nose, Elton had problems with his hair and Freddie had his teeth!”

Sure, a superband never actually materalized but the image of the three of them performing together in a group called “Nose, Teeth & Hair” is enough to put a smile on our face.

Blood Red Roses will contain 13 tracks, but those who decide to get the deluxe version of the album will get three bonus covers. Rod Stewart co-produced the release with his longtime collaborator Kevin Savigar.

Stewart also presented a new song, “Didn’t I,” which will serve as the lead single for the record. Those who pre-order the album will get “Didn’t I” as an automatic download.

You can check out the lead single below.

“I always think I make albums for a few friends and this record has that intimacy,” Stewart said of Blood Red Roses in the press release. “Sincerity and honesty go a long way in life and the same is true in songwriting.”

Even before the albums gets a proper release, Rod Stewart is planning to embark on a North America tour which will kick off July 24th at the Hard Rock Event Center in Hollywood, Florida. The tour will have 22 dates and will include Cyndi Lauper as a special guest.
