Roger Taylor Says He and Brain May Could Reunite With Paul Rodgers For 2012 Performances

Hundreds of thousands of fans may have their greatest wishes granted next year – as Queen consider a live reunion for the 2012 Olympics, with Free frontman Paul Rodgers stepping in for the legendary Freddie Mercury.
Roger Taylor and Brian May have performed with Paul Rodgers a number of times in the past decade but mutually agreed in 2009 to discontinue their performances. But, although they haven’t play together in two years, the trio may decide to work with each other again – even as early as the Olympics.
“I wouldn't rule it out,” said drummer Roger Taylor. “In fact, I read the other day Paul said he wouldn't mind doing something. If something came up as special, we could maybe do that, maybe the Olympics or something. But I certainly wouldn't rule it out and he is a wonderful singer, there's no doubt about that.”
In more Queen news, Taylor told of how he was forming a Queen tribute band – and that he’d be supervising the auditions.
“Essentially we're producing our own show using our own footage and production values to make a show because, let's face it, we're getting a little long in the tooth, but there are an awful lot of tribute bands, some of them good, some of them not good. And we put together something that we felt was purely extraordinary.”
