Brian May has revealed that he is planning to save digital radio station Planet Rock from closure. Queen's axe-hero posted the following entry on his blog: 'I can't tell you who I am 'in league' with, but I am part of a small group of people who have great hopes that we will succeed in taking over the station and putting it on a firm footing, for the benefit of its growing audience.' Station owner GCap announced plans to close the hard rock outlet earlier this year.
