Half a century after “Bohemian Rhapsody” first redefined rock, Queen are still refusing to fade into legacy-act territory. Guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor have confirmed that the band, with Adam Lambert fronting since 2011, won’t be hanging it up any time soon.
Taylor made it clear: there will be no staged goodbye. “Final tours” are rarely final, and Queen intend to keep their options open. The Rhapsody Tour closed in Tokyo in 2024, but the group are already eyeing future projects.
Behind closed doors, May revealed, the band and Lambert have been experimenting in the studio. “Not many people know, but Adam and we have been in the studio trying things. Nothing really materialised so far. Some things are meant to be and some things are not,” he admitted, though nothing has yet passed the high bar required for a public release. Queen insist that if new material appears, it must justify its place alongside their monumental catalog.
