In a recent interview, Queen drummer Roger Taylor dropped a hint that the legendary band may be working on new music in the near future. Despite not releasing an album since 1995's Made In Heaven, following the tragic loss of frontman Freddie Mercury in 1991, the band has continued to tour with Adam Lambert as their lead singer. And just last year, they even released a previously unheard song featuring Mercury's vocals from a recording session 34 years ago. But now, it seems like there could be even more new music on the horizon.
During a conversation with his bandmate Sir Brian May, 75-year-old Roger discussed the possibility of creating new music for Queen. When asked if fans can expect to hear new material, Roger replied, "Well, I think you might! Brian and myself were talking the other day, and we both said that if we feel we have some good material, why not? We can still play. We can still sing. So I don't see why not."
Queen's original lineup included John Deacon, who left the band in 1997, along with the late Freddie Mercury, Brian May, and Roger Taylor. And although they have been joined by new member Adam Lambert since 2011, the trio still holds discussions about the potential for new music. In fact, during an interview with Uncut, Roger expressed his desire to continue pursuing his own solo career and potentially release another album or tour in the future.
Reflecting on his 2021 solo tour, The Outsider Live, Roger said, "The tour was great, it was very fulfilling. I really enjoyed the shows and I had a great little band. So I'd like to do that again sometime, if and when I can get enough material for something that makes sense musically."
Adam Lambert first joined forces with Queen on American Idol in 2009 and became a more permanent member in 2011. And while the trio has discussed the possibility of creating new music in the past, it seems that their busy schedules have made it difficult to find the time for recording. In a 2022 interview with Variety, Sir Brian May, now 77 years old, explained, "The new music thing? I've got to tell you it hasn't happened yet, but we do bring the subject up."
Brian went on to reveal that their live shows take up most of their time and attention, leaving little room for studio work. He also praised Adam's solo career and shared that the singer had even shared some of his new music with him. However, he didn't rule out the possibility of a new Queen album in the future, saying, "I'm not saying that it couldn't happen."
So, while there may not be any concrete plans for new Queen music just yet, it's clear that the band is open to the idea and may even be working on something behind the scenes. As always, fans will have to stay tuned for any official announcements. And if you have any insider information, don't hesitate to reach out to us – we'd love to hear all about it!
