The surviving Queen hints at releasing new music
The two surviving musicians of Queen have considered releasing new music. The legendary rock band is discographically stopped at the album “Made In Heaven” from 1995, released four years after the death of the iconic frontman Freddie Mercury which took place in 1991. Now, however, the drummer Roger Taylor75, revealed that he and guitarist Brian May77, “might” give fans some new music.
The English musician told Uncut magazine: “I think we could do it,” he said. “Brian and I were talking the other day and we said if we feel we have some good material, why not do it? We can still play. We can still singing. So I don’t see why not.”
The writers of “We Will Rock You” and other hits are on tour with Adam Lambert since 2012, but Brian May doubts there will be a new Queen album featuring the current singer who previously placed second on “American Idol” in 2009.
In reality, work on new music began some time ago but Brian May is discouraged from releasing new material by Queen fans who oppose the idea, but he respects their loyalty to the late frontman.
In an interview with Total Guitar magazine last year, the guitarist said: “We’ve been in the studio. We’ve thrown around some ideas in the middle of one of those tours. But we never got to the point where we felt it would be was right. So we didn’t go any further. “I really don’t know. But I think there’s a bit of a barrier. I think if people see Queen on a record label, they still want Freddie to sing. Jesus Christ might be there, but they would still want Freddie, and I don’t blame people for that.
“I’ve got people on Instagram saying, ‘Why do you keep going without Freddie?’ And I’m like, ‘Don’t tell me what I’m supposed to do! I’m doing what I feel like I’m supposed to do.'” Brian admits there are still some fans who aren’t happy with Queen + Adam Lambert touring, but insists Freddie would be happy for the band to continue playing his music.
Brian also said: “There are people who think we shouldn’t even go on stage without Freddie. But I think that would have been very sad, and that’s not what Freddie would have wanted either. He would have wanted us to continue to develop. And of course, given that we are continuing to develop, let’s keep his legacy alive.”
