Guitarist Brian May of Queen is hinting at upcoming shows with drummer Roger Taylor. PressParty.com was quick to report that May wrote on his website: "We've also been looking at doing some dates - Roger and myself, and who knows who else!! ha ha! Of course these days nothing is a secret for more than the 5 minutes it takes for Twitter and Facebook to spread rumours. But today I saw an amazing working list of dates, and...well, I think we're up for one more swing out there. In fact, in our Queen meeting today, we drank on it!"
Queen lead vocalist Freddie Mercury died in 1991 at the age of 45, and May revealed that a biopic commemorating his life continues to be in the works:
"We seem to be still hovering on the button as I write, ready to start the engine rolling on the Freddie film. It's been a long haul as you know, trying to assemble the right team to make the film," May said. "And I have learned, in my short time in the movie world, that availability is everything. It's no use assembling a team whose members are not all available at the same time!"
No word on who else would be playing shows aside from May and Taylor. They have performed with Adam Lambert in the past and Brian May has some concerts lined up with English singer Kerry Ellis:
- 19 February - Buxton Festival
- 21 February - Scarborough Spa
- 22 February - Grantham Meres
- 23 February - Bath Theatre Royal
- 25 February - Eastbourne Congress
Queen was also randomly in the news when a cellphone ring of "Fat Bottomed Girls" interrupted an intense political debate on television.
Stay tuned to hear if the Brian May show dates are a go -- and when.
