Queen set to record new songs with Adam Lambert

By editorial board on January 29, 2024

32 years after the band dropped 'Innuendo, their final album released in late frontman Freddie Mercury's lifetime, guitarist Brian May has revealed that they are considering recording new music with former 'American Idol' star Adam.

Speaking on US radio, Brian said: "We have dabbled a little. It is just that you haven’t heard any of it. It would have to be something so special that we would feel we would want to launch it on the public." (Music-News report)

Adam added: "It’s a lot of pressure if you think about it. If they’re going to put something out that’s new, it’s got to be at a certain level. It has to be the right thing. And I’ve always said, ‘Is it appropriate for me to be doing new material?’ I feel like it scares me."

Talk about new Queen music will come as a surprise to fans, as Brian recently said he doesn't think Queen will ever make an album of new songs with Adam because the band's fans love Freddie too much.

The legendary rock band have been touring with the 'American Idol' runner-up since 2012 with their tours earning rave reviews and getting bigger and bigger.

There has been much talk and speculation about Queen recording their first LP of new material since Freddie died from AIDS in November 1991 at the age of just 45, and although Brian, Adam and drummer Roger Taylor have laid down some potential songs in the studio, they have been deterred by Queen fans who are opposed to the idea.

Due to overwhelming fan demand, Queen + Adam Lambert  have announced the addition of the final eight new dates across North America on their upcoming Rhapsody Tour, which first launched in 2019 with 25 critically acclaimed shows.

The trek is set to launch Oct. 4 in Baltimore, Maryland and will hit stops in the U.S. and Canada through a Nov. 11 finale in Los Angeles. See all of the dates, cities and venues listed toward the bottom of the page.

The band posted a set of guidelines online at Ticketmaster, and wrote in a statement

"In an effort to help minimize resale and keep ticket prices at face value for fans, the band are collaborating with the venues' ticketing partners to restrict the ability to transfer tickets for The Rhapsody Tour so that they may only be transferred between fans at the original price. Fans will still have protection against unforeseen circumstances. Those who purchase tickets and are no longer able to attend their show will be able to sell their tickets at the price they paid using a face value ticket exchange, including the Ticketmaster Face Value Exchange - which is free to use for buyers and sellers."

With tributes to Freddie Mercury still rampant following the biographical 2018 movie "Bohemian Rhapsody," his old bandmates in Queen are launching another tour celebrating the late singer's legacy, including a return to Xcel Energy Center on Oct. 27.

The tour will now include second dates in Baltimore, New York, Boston, St. Paul, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, and Los Angeles following sellouts across the original shows. Tickets for the newly added shows will be available via a general on=sale beginning Friday, April 7 at 10AM local time at.

Queen's co-founding guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor will again be joined by animated replacement singer Adam Lambert in St. Paul and 13 other cities on their fall North America tour, announced Friday.

Tickets for all shows go on sale next Friday, March 31, at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster. There are no pre-sale options. Tour promoter Live Nation (which owns Ticketmaster) is not publicizing the prices it will charge the public in St. Paul's publicly owned hockey arena.

The latest sign of veteran acts fighting to control ticket prices — Ticketmaster is actually offering $5-$10 refunds to some Cure fans after frontman Robert Smith got hot-hot-hot over fees last week — Queen is disallowing ticket transfers above the original price.
