Update on new music from Queen
Rumors began to swirl earlier this year that Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor were working for the first time in years on new Queen music. Those rumors have gained some steam as May’s wife, Anita Dobson, may have let the cat out of the bag early. “Yes, I don’t know when or how, but they will. They’re musicians, they can’t stop,” Dobson stated in an interview published today when asked if there were plans for Queen on the horizon. “But I do know one thing about the boys. They may not be touring at the moment as Queen, but they will be doing something. There is lots of talk going on and Brian pops round to see Roger a lot… so there’s still life in the old dog yet.” Make of it what you will, but I’m excited.
