Hell just froze over
Nothing is sacred anymore.Being a fan of Queen I can only use a quote from the movie Highlander(which Queen did the music for) in regards to lead singer Freddie Mercury,"There can be only one."
Personally,I think this a bad move and if and when this show hits the states one I will not be going to. THE TOUR - VH1 REPORT *Queen to tour in the spring with "The Voice" Queen is looking to tour in the spring, with Bad Company's Paul Rodgers handling the vocals. Apparently the news was meant to be kept under wraps, but Brian May's Web site has a quote from May himself "endorsing" the news. May said: "It really all came about because of the Fender 50th Anniversary gig that I did with Paul Rodgers. We were both so amazed at the chemistry that was going on in 'All Right Now,' that suddenly it seems blindingly obvious that there was 'something happening here.'" Originally the two were just talking about going it as a duo, but then they got Queen drummer Roger Taylor in on it and a Queen/Rodgers tour began to take shape. The trio will play songs from both the Queen songbook as well as from Bad Company and Rodgers' other band Free. According to May, the tour should be underway by April. |

I heard this on the radio this morning. Brian May had nothing but good things to say about Paul Rodgers. May said they wanted to do some "new stuff" and we shouldn't expect this to be "Paul Rodgers sings all of Freddie's songs" sort of band.
Shades of VanHagar? Stay tuned. This should be interesting.

Wow. I have mixed thoughts on this. Queen's News of the World was my first album (that wasn't a kid album) and I would be sick to see them embarrass themselves. Then again, if these guys want to go on tour it is their lives and who cares what I think, anyway? It's not like I expect them to do absolutely nothing for the rest of their lives just so they don't offend my sense of nostalgia. They would probably be better received if they wrote some new material instead of just going on tour and covering only old stuff.

Bad idea. Freddie cannot be replaced or duplicated. |
