this is a bit of a longshot but I'm looking for the source for a very specific story about Brian changing his guitar strings

if I'm remembering correctly I think it was an interview with someone other than Brian recounting a conversation they had about the number of strings Brian was breaking and the person suggested that he switch from 8-gauge to 9-gauge strings, which Brian did

I think this happened c. 1993 and the interview was with someone from the Brian May Band. (I want to say it was Jamie Moses but I could be misremembering because of my bias, so it equally could've been with Spike or even Pete Malandrone if I have the era wrong completely.)

so. does anyone else remember this incredibly niche factoid and know where the source of it may be?
