In a recent interview with the U.K. tabloid Daily Mail, Brian May appears to have closed the door on Queen‘s potential comeback to the United States, as per Blabbermouth.
America is a dangerous place at the moment, so you have to take that into account. It’s very sad because I feel like Queen grew up in America and we love it, but it’s not what it was. Everyone is thinking twice about going there at the moment.
May did not elaborate on what he believes to be dangerous about the United States that would keep Queen from performing there in the future. May stated when she and drummer Roger Taylor, who have been traveling under the stage moniker Queen + Adam Lambert with “American Idol” alum Adam Lambert since 2012, could resume performing live.
I don’t know when Queen will be back on stage — it’s an unknown. We’ll take it day by day.’
May have also alluded to potential new Queen songs.
It was time to take a break and spend time with family, take stock. But never say never about not coming back, the rebuild of Queen Two is coming back, and there are a couple of things you haven’t heard.
Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, keyboard), Brian May (guitar, vocals), and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals) created the British rock group Queen in London in 1970. John Deacon (bass) later joined the group. The band’s early compositions were influenced by heavy metal, hard rock, and progressive rock, but over time, they included other genres including pop rock and arena rock to create more traditional and radio-friendly songs. May and Taylor had performed together in the band Smile before to starting Queen. As a fan of Smile, Mercury pushed them to try out more complex recording and stage methods. He joined in 1970 and suggested the name “Queen”. Before the band’s self-titled debut album was released in 1973, Deacon was hired in February 1971.
