QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS Approved By FREDDIE MERCURY'S Mom

September 14, 2005

Launch Radio Networks reports: The new album, "Return of the Champions", from QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS was recorded May 9 in Sheffield, England. In addition to the packed house, there was a special guest in attendance that night — Jer Bulsara, who is the late Freddie Mercury's mother. QUEEN guitarist Brian May told Launch that Bulsara gave her approval to the RODGERS-QUEEN combo at the show. "Freddie's mum came down to the show we did in Sheffield, in the north of England, and she loved it," May said. "She was like, 'Yeah, yeah, you make us really proud.' (laughs) That was wonderful."

A "Return of the Champions" DVD will be released this fall.

QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS hit Aruba for a show on October 8, then do their only U.S. shows this year on October 16 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and October 22 in Los Angeles. The group will be back for a real North American tour next year.
