The drummer spoke about the possibility of making new Music under the name Queen. And all the lights are green.
And if more than thirty years after the death of Freddie Mercury, Queen came back with new music? The group, still active on stage with the collaboration ofAdam Lambert on vocals, could indeed look into new compositions.
“Why not ?”
“I think it’s possible, said the drummer Roger Taylor au magazine UNCUT (via Blabbermouth). Brian and I were talking about it the other day, and we both said if we have good songs, why not? We are still able to play. We still know how to sing. So I don’t see why we wouldn’t do it.”
Brian May had already addressed the issue in 2022 during an interview given to Variety, where he stated that even if it had never happened before, the subject often came up in discussions. “Usually, when we are together, the live show takes all our energy, he then explained. There’s not really time to discuss any action in the studio. We feel like concerts are what the audience wants”.
In addition: Queen hits the jackpot by selling its musical catalog to Sony Music
If we add the fact thatAdam Lambert has his own solo career on the side,”there is no opportunity to make an album together”, commented May“but I’m not saying it couldn’t happen”. Moreover, a new draft of the song had indeed been recorded in Nashville a few years ago during the American tour of Queen + Adam Lambert, as revealed Roger Taylor has Classic Rock magazine.
“We recorded a song that we actually didn’t finish. I don’t remember its title. I think we were still discussing it”. Et Brian May d’ajouter : “It was a song that came from a friend and that we tried to adapt. It had all the markers of a great song but we couldn’t decode it. We didn’t make it”.
In addition: Brian May reassures his fans after suffering a minor stroke
An unpublished Queen, Face It Alonehowever, was shared with fans two years ago. “A little nugget of Freddie” from the studio sessions for the album “The Miracle”, released in 1989. Forgotten at the bottom of a drawer, it was saved by a team of passionate engineers.
“I’m glad our team was able to find this song, had declared Brian May through the press. After all these years, it’s great to hear the four of us… Yes, Deacy (John Deacon, ndlr.) is here too… Working in the studio on an idea for a great song that was never fully finished… until now!”
