QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS Moving Ahead With New Music, Another Tour Possible

December 7, 2006

Launch Radio Networks reports: If all goes well, QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS will grace us with new music on tour next summer. The group has been in the studio this year, and QUEEN guitarist Brian May told Britain's Sky News, "The tracks seems to be coming out very well, so we'll have to think about whether this is an entire album, or whether it's just a few tracks, and there's a possibility we'll go out on tour next summer as well. We're thinking about that." May didn't say when tourdates might be announced, nor did he say when they might release the new material.

Rodgers first hooked up with May at the 50th anniversary concert for the Fender Stratocaster guitar in London in September 2004, where May backed Rodgers on the FREE song "All Right Now". Both men felt an instant chemistry, and it was confirmed a few weeks later when QUEEN was inducted into the U.K. Music Hall Of Fame. At that event, Rodgers joined May and drummer Roger Taylor for versions of "All Right Now" and QUEEN's "We Will Rock You", and things went so well that everyone decided to take the relationship forward.

The group, which played both QUEEN songs and material from Rodgers's days with FREE and BAD COMPANY, did two shows in the U.S. in the fall of 2005, before mounting a proper North American tour earlier this year.
