Queen rock legend Brian May visits a wildlife hospital and bonds with a koala ahead of performing in the Fire Fight Australia bushfire relief concert
Queen guitarist Brian May will be joined by other stars including Adam Lambert at the Fire Fight Australia bushfire relief concert in Sydney on Sunday.
And on Friday, the 72-year-old rock legend showed his support for the RSPCA by visiting Brisbane Wildlife Hospital.
In several posts shared to Instagram, the artist bonded with Bear - an adorable rescue koala.

'Visiting time! A precious moment with Bear - an adorable rescued koala - in the RSPCA Animal Hospital, Wacol, Brisbane,' Brian wrote online.
'These people are doing an incredible job of caring for the survivors of the tragic Queensland fires. They need our support. More soon.'
A short clip saw Brian performing a melody on guitar in the hospital with Bear latching onto his upper frame.

RSPCA Queensland Senior Media Adviser Michael Beatty told The Courier Mail on Friday that Brian is keen to use his platform for the greater good.
'We're looking to expand the hospital if we can get another block of land and he did actually say that he would do what he could to try and help us achieve our goal of being able to build what will basically be another wildlife hospital,' he said.
Brian will lend his profile to the sold-out Fire Fight Australia bushfire relief concert at Sydney's ANZ Stadium on Sunday.
Comedian Celeste Barber, whose Facebook fundraiser has raised $52million for bushfire victims, will host the event.
Showing his support: 'These people are doing an incredible job of caring for the survivors of the tragic Queensland fires. They need our support. More soon,' Brian penned online
Olivia Newton-John, Queen + Adam Lambert and k.d. lang will headline the event, alongside more than 20 local and international acts.
Australia's bushfire season arrived early in October 2019, resulting in 28 deaths, and more than 2,000 homes destroyed.
It's been estimated that over a billion animals have died across the country.
While Fire Fight Australia 2020 has completely sold out, it will be broadcast on Channel Seven and Foxtel from 1pm on Sunday.
Worthy cause: Brian will lend his profile to the sold-out Fire Fight Australia bushfire relief concert at Sydney's ANZ Stadium on Sunday alongside other stars including Adam Lambert. They are both pictured on stage in Sydney on Saturday
