Roger Taylor has revealed that Queen bandmate Brian May started working on a new song for the band but then “suddenly lost interest”.

The pair started work on a new track with Adam Lambert – who has fronted Queen since 2011, following the death of original frontman Freddie Mercury in 1991 – but guitarist May doesn’t seem to be a fan of what they laid down.
“Well, Brian suddenly lost interest and I don’t really know why,” Taylor told MOJO (via Contact Music. “We started it in Nashville when we were all quite tired.
He continued: “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.”
The longstanding Queen drummer also talked about the possibility of him and May reconnecting with former Queen bassist John Deacon, who stopped playing with the band in the mid-’90s.
“It’s a lovely fairy tale, but to be honest I don’t think so. John’s like a hermit, really,” Taylor said. “I don’t think he’s quite equipped for that – he’s really fragile. He can’t deal with company or the outside world, so far as I know.”
He added: “I guess he just sits there counting his money.”
Meanwhile, Taylor has lashed out at those who refuse to vaccinate themselves against COVID-19, saying that they “must be ignorant and stupid”.
He made his comments in a recent episode of the Consequence podcast, Kyle Meredith With. He appeared on the show to speak about his new solo album ‘Outsider’ noting that it was largely influenced by last year’s lockdowns in Europe and the UK.
Citing the single ‘Isolation’ as one primarily inspired by the lockdowns, he said: “I think in Europe it was very serious, and I really felt for people in Milan. You know, locked up in a one room apartment, that was a scary time.”
Meanwhile, an “immersive” pop-up shop dedicated to Queen has opened in London, running until early next year.

He looks glorious in that elaborate coat and crown. Very royal like a handsome Prince! QAL can't return fast enough. I guess we will not hear anything about Rock In Rio (or S. America) unless and until Brazil gets Covid under control.
One thing I have always loved about Adam is that most of the time he can be flamboyant, flashy, sexy and attention grabbing without looking clownish or trying too hard (or "hey will you please, please look at me like some others," lol). |

Watched a good chunk of Roger's concert. What a great show! So cool that he still has the drive to write and collab and perform his own music. I'm so glad I discovered him. Thanks again, Adam.
Curious that the "Brian just lost interest in making new music with Adam" story is still out there. Thought that issue was pretty much laid to rest. Whenever i see it, it always sounds somehow negative towards Adam, although I don't think that was the intention. Bottom line, it's pretty certain that it will never happen. But if by some miracle it does, it will be a nice surprise.
Always love seeing Adam in that glittery encrusted jacket. A jacket fit for a Queen!

FYI, My Facebook stop working this morning. Thought it was just me. Then I heard on the news that FB is down for millions, although a few may still have it. It's a global thing. The news said that it may have something to do with the issues about FB handling of what news and comments it does or does not allow.
As of now, I still don't have FB. Screen says, "we're working on it."

Lol. Couldn't happen to a nicer person, IMO. |
