“We can still play. We can still sing” – Roger Taylor reveals a chance for new Queen music

Roger Taylor, the drummer for Queen, was asked if he and his colleagues could possibly record and release any new songs in a recent interview with Uncut magazine. 

I think we might. Brian and myself were talking the other day, and we both said that if we feel we have some good material, why not? We can still play. We can still sing. So I don’t see why not. Roger Taylor

Brian May answered this same question a couple of years ago.

I’ve got to tell you it hasn’t happened yet, but we do bring the subject up. Generally, when we are together, the live show is all-consuming. There isn’t really time to discuss any studio action. We feel as if the live stuff is what the public wants. And when we’re not on tour, Adam has his own career. So, I suppose that the opportunity to make an album together doesn’t come up, but I’m not saying that it couldn’t happen. Brian May

May and Taylor told Classic Rock magazine two years prior to this that they attempted to record a new song with Lambert but ultimately chose not to release it.

We did record a song which we haven’t actually finished. I can’t remember what it’s called. I think we were still discussing what we should call it.

It was a song that we’d tried to adapt that had come from a friend. It had the makings of being a great song, but we couldn’t crack it. We couldn’t get there. Brian May
