Music legend Brian May has shared a tragic update with his followers. Posting to Instagram, the star emotionally explained that his close friend and colleague, Jen Tunney, has died.
Posting a selfie of the two of them together to Instagram, the 78-year-old guitarist and singer wrote: “JEN TUNNEY RIP. Many of you already know we just lost our dear friend and my indomitable Web Lady for half a lifetime – Jen Tunney. She passed away peacefully yesterday with her family all around her.” He went on to share a bit about their relationship as he said: “Jen and I formed a relationship in the days before the word ‘Blog’ had a meaning – and well before we all learned we could publish our views on an innocent-looking photo-sharing app called Instagram. Together we created ‘BRIAN’s SOAPBOX’ – the name being a defence to me standing on a virtual platform to broadcast what I felt it was important for people to know.

“Through the years, Jen almost single-handedly ran the Soapbox on the BrianMay.com website, a project she had started even before we knew each other. Jen was my channel – my means of connection – and actually changed my life – evolved me from a person who just got on with his jobs to a person who listened to his ‘fans’ and followers and actually engaged in a two-way exchange of views, feelings and information.”
Brian went on to say that Jen was “never a visible presence” as she liked to “stay out of the limelight”. But she “quietly, meticulously and faithfully carried on her mission of documenting and archiving for future reference all that transpired around my public life.”
He explained that she had been struggling with her health in recent months but she still continued to work hard.
“Loyal and meticulous to the end,” Brian wrote. “Dear Jen – I owe you a million thanks – a million more than I was ever able to give you in person.
“We will miss you badly, and life will never be quite the same again. Deepest condolences to Jen’s husband – her Rock – Frank, and to their lovely family. Rest in Peace Jen.”Fans were quick to support the Queen star. In the comments, one person wrote: “So sorry for your loss, dear Bri. Jen was an extraordinary lady. Always so kind and supportive. We will miss her. Sending thoughts and prayers to her Family and Friends.”
Another added: “Beautiful words for a beautiful person, so sorry for your loss.”
While a third penned: “I’m so sorry for your loss. Jen kindly replied to my inquiry on the website years ago, and her kindness still stays in my heart to this day. Thinking of you and your family. Rest in peace, Jen.”
