Legendary Queen guitarist Brian May has said Britain is a country "obsessed" with money.

The rock star, on a promo tour to promote a new album with West End actress Kerry Ellis,  said "I think the world is going to pot, including this country.

"We've become a nation which only thinks about money, I think it's appalling. It applies to America, it's probably about to apply to France.

"We have those kind of leaders now who only understand economics and they probably don't understand economics either."

Ouch. I guess 'We Are The Champions' no longer applies to the UK. Maybe we're more 'Under Pressure'?
