QUEEN Guitarist Dismisses Split Rumors

December 3, 2008

QUEEN guitarist Brian May has dismissed rumors of a split with singer Paul Rodgers, insisting that the group is simply taking a break.

Austrian web site Österreich / oe24.atreported yesterday (Tuesday, December 2) that QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS' concert in Rio de Janeiro last Saturday (November 29) was to be the group's last.

Guitarist Brian May has commented on the rumor at his official web site: "Well, I don't know where anyone got that idea — Roger [Taylor, drums] and Paul and myself haven't made any decisions whatsoever about the future. We just need a rest!"

The new QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS album, "The Cosmos Rocks", sold around 12,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 47 on The Billboard 200 chart.

"The Cosmos Rocks" arrived at No. 4 on the European Top 100 Albums chart back in September. It delivered a No. 5 U.K. debut on sales of 28,000.
