Queen’s Roger Taylor teases new music from band almost three decades after last album
QUEEN drummer Roger Taylor is in talks with Brian May about putting out new music.
The iconic rock band has not released an album since 1995’s Made In Heaven, following frontman Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991.
But in a new interview with Uncut magazine, Roger was asked about new music and said: “I think we 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.”
They have been touring as Queen + Adam Lambert since 2011, with their most recent shows together being a tour of Japan in February.
They released a previously unheard Queen song called Face It Alone in October 2022.
It featured Freddie’s original vocals and was thought to be “unsalvageable” before experts cleaned it up.
The band, formed in 1970, has been the subject of various rumours over the years, which Roger poked fun at during the interview.
He said: “There’s a lot of myths. One of them is the bald dwarves at the party in New Orleans with cocaine on their heads.
“It’s rather funny, but it is a myth – I didn’t see any, anyway. But there was a man who moved under meat.
“He lay on a table covered in cold cuts, and when somebody approached the table, he would wobble, and all the meat would move and freak people out.
“I think that’s much stranger than a dwarf with cocaine on his head.”
