There will be no more world tours from Queen

Anita Dobson, the spouse of Queen guitarist Brian May, stated to the U.K.’s Mirror that the band does not intend to undertake any future world tours, as per blabbermouth.net.

They will do little bits and bobs, but they won’t do those big tours. We are all getting old.

Her remarks followed statements by Queen‘s drummer Roger Taylor, who told Rolling Stone magazine that neither he, May, nor singer Adam Lambert planned to organize a concluding farewell tour.

I don’t think we’re done. And I don’t think we’re going to say a final farewell tour. Because it never is, is it?

Will Queen be resting forever?

At one point we will be.

Last year, Brian May disclosed that he had experienced a minor stroke. Although this incident initially impaired his ability to use his left arm, he has since regained sufficient mobility to resume playing music.

May’s stroke occurred four years after he suffered a “small” heart attack. At that time, he expressed shock upon realizing his health was not as robust as previously assumed, describing himself as “very near death.”

He identified three arteries as being “congested and in danger of blocking blood flow to the heart,” leading to surgical insertion of three stents—small tubes designed to maintain arterial patency.

Approximately five and a half years prior, May required hospitalization after sustaining severe injuries to his buttocks during gardening activities. This injury resulted in intense sciatica and a subsequent minor heart attack, which he attributed to medication side effects.

May experienced a severe adverse reaction to his heart attack medication, nearly resulting in death. Recently, he also underwent cataract surgery to address age-related visual impairment.

He subsequently expressed the belief that the coronavirus may have contributed to his myocardial infarction, citing the virus’s propensity to increase blood viscosity. Consequently, he described adopting an extremely cautious lifestyle with Dobson, whom he acknowledged as having been instrumental in preserving his life.
