"It is a big machine to gear up, if you know what I mean"
The legendary band last hit the road in North America in 2023, as part of their “ambitious” ‘Rhapsody Tour’ with Adam Lambert. The tour came to the UK and Europe in 2022, while their most recent live shows took place in Asia in early 2024.
Now, Taylor has commented on the future of the band, telling BBC Radio 2: “Well, it is a big machine to gear up, if you know what I mean.”
He went on to say: “I think it’s more down to Brian [May] than me. I love playing live. I enjoy it, always have.”
Taylor went on to say the possibility of a future tour is largely down to how May “feels about it”, before giving it his approval, adding, “So if we both wanna do it, I’d be happy to. But we’ll see. Never say never.”
The drummer then praised Lambert, saying, “We have been working for a while with Adam Lambert, who has the most incredible voice.”
It comes after Brian May said earlier this year that he would refuse to tour in the US, reasoning that the country is a “dangerous place”.
Before that, he said that Queen would not headline Glastonbury Festival “because of the politics of the people who run it”. He cited founder Michael Eavis’ support of badger culling over the years.
“Unless that changes, I won’t do it,” May continued.
He revealed last autumn that Queen had worked on some new material with Lambert, and said they had considered bringing their live show to The Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada. “ I’m very keen on the Sphere,” May explained. “It’s got my mind working.
