le commentaire officiel de brian may :

Well, the news seems to be out .... Roger spilled the beans on his interview with the Wettendass Web-page gal .... so I endorsed it.

And this time it's not just a rumour. We are in the process of looking at venues for a QUEEN tour in the spring. 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". And if we were to play together some more, which we both thought was an exciting possibility, who would be the drummer ??? Well, the expression "No Brainer" comes to mind. Then the UK Hall of Fame awards just came up out of the blue. Apparently we had won one of the categories and the request was there for us to play. I had already had the conversation with Roger at this point, about how brilliant Paul Rodgers was, and, since, very conveniently, he had also been asked to be there, we agreed we would ask Paul if he would team up with us for this event.

The rest in a way is already History. The show went so incredibly well from our point of view, and we got so many rave reactions from out there, we decided almost then and there that we would look at a tour together.

This is what we have been doing over the last two or three weeks, looking at venues, discussing how we might approach our collective material, etc. etc.

It's very exciting .... ever since the run-up to that Awards show, I felt in my waters that something big and scary was happening. Scary because as soon as you press the button for something like this you set a massive juggernaut into motion which cannot be stopped ! So bang goes the home life, and anything else we might have planned for the coming months. Suddenly the QUEEN Phoenix is rising again from the ashes, and will take precedence over everything in our lives. So be it. So there ya go. I won't go into more details right now, but, barring accidents, QUEEN and PAUL RODGERS will be on the road, pretty much for sure, around April 2005.

See ya there !

Love

Wouah y z'ont quand même bien morflé ! Ca va me faire tout chose de les voir se reformer !

Moi je trouve pas ça cool du tout. Ca se fait pas de reformer un groupe mythique comme Queen après tant d'année et surtout sans Freddy Mercury quoi... Honte à eux !

mouais!!!Queen sans Freddy ce n'est plus trop Queen...

apres avoir recyclé a outrance les best of, les comedies musicales et autres inepties, brian may doit avoir besoin de tunes...

quel gachis de ne pas l'avoir entendu composer du neuf depuis 13 ou 14 ans. au lieu de reformer queen, il devrait faire comme velvet revolver et fonder un nouveau groupe.

tout en étant fan de QUEEN j'espere que john deacon va refuser!! reformer ce groupe sans Freddie Mercury c'est tout simplement impossible!!!!
Ne gacher pas tout, le greatest hits 3 est suffisant

moi en otut cas j'irai les ovir si ils passent a Paris. Je regrette deja un peu d'avoir loupé par 2 fois les doors of the new century!

Ca s'annonce pas bon du tout cette histoire !!
Et Bud, visiblement, Bryan May à besoin de tunes, il est en galère de chemise la ! :)

Non ça c'est naturel, il a toujours eu de mauvais goûts en matière de chemises ;)

Ben moi j'attends de voir, c'est clair que ca sera jamais pareil sans freddy mercury. Mais c'est le groupe qui m'a fait aimé la musique, donc voir et entendre toutes les bombes de queen en direke live, ben moi je suis content !

mdr, j'avais pas capté la chemise...
il devrait surtout changer de perruque. la ca fait trop hair metal des années 80 !

queen, je kiffe sans adorer. comme beaucoup, c'est sentimental (bah ouais, j'ai decouvert le rock avec eux dans un bus lors d'une sortie de classe...)

bah ouais , ils devraient plutot faire un truc a la velvet revolver plutot que de remonter queen.

Roger Taylor à fait des trucs pas mal après Queen, son single Foreign sand a bien cartonné en UK par ex (surtout que c'est mon idole au piano héhé, Yoshiki de X Japan)
