Queen Was Working on New Song with Adam Lambert, But Brian May ‘Lost Interest’Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter Queen mentioned earlier this year they had been working on a new song with Adam Lambert, but it appears that work has come to a halt. Roger Taylor said in a new interview with MOJO (as transcribed by Classic Rock), “Brian [May] suddenly lost interest and I don’t really know why. We started it in Nashville when we were all quite tired. We couldn’t decide on a title and the lyric felt a little too negative for Queen, maybe. But it was pretty damn good, and I hope it comes to light.” May and Taylor said of this new track with Lambert in a February interview with Classic Rock, “We did record a song which we haven’t actually finished. I can’t remember what it’s called. I think we were still discussing what we should call it.” May added, “It was a song that we’d tried to adapt that had come from a friend. It had the makings of being a great song, but we couldn’t crack it. We couldn’t get there.” In October 2020, Queen released their first title with Lambert, a live album called Live Around The World. The live release highlighted the band’s favorite performances as chosen by them from over 200 concerts all over the world during their time together.

The interview with Roger was excellent. He really gave a full perspective on the history of Queen. What a ride! And yes, Roger was definitely the pretty one. Still is. Although Brian is a good looking guy, too.
Too bad the headline of the "new song with Queen and Adam" article has a somewhat negative tone. Makes it sounds like they didn't want to work with Adam on new music. Not true. It's just that the song itself wasn't right. They hav total faith in Adam and his voice.
Wonder if Adam is starting to work on the Vegas shows? The start a little over four weeks from now!

It always feels as if it is taking away from all that Adam brought to the band because they have not recorded something together. Finger wagging from the interviewers. Either do it or let it go. Just may opinion which does not count for much. HA!

I agree, Lurleene...I'm tired of the question too. I just don't really think Brian is interested...I don't get that feeling. I think Brian is much more comfortable just playing the old standards. Part of it probably has to do with Adam, since he's a member of Queen. It's different when Brian plays with Kerry since she has nothing to do with Queen.

I think the "new QAL song" thing should be laid to rest. And it looks like it has. Brian and Roger have little to prove or to gain by a new song with Adam. They have their own immense legacy. Adam, on the other hand, has a lot to gain from a strong new song with Queen. It would be a nice feather in his cap and would give him some good media attention. But it's pretty much a dead issue at this point.
