Paul Rodgers To Tour With Queen Again?

Former Free and Bad Company lead singer Paul Rodgers has revealed he would be open to the idea of going back on the road with Queen for a third time.

One of the most distinctive voices in rock, Rodgers toured with Bryan May and Roger Taylor twice between 2005-2009 under the name of Queen + Paul Rodgers. They also recorded studio album, ‘Cosmos Rocks’ as well as releasing two live recordings, including a show from Sheffield Arena ‘Return Of The Champions’.

When asked about whether any future touring with Queen was in the works, Rodgers revealed to Bang! Showbiz. “We may do. We left it because we all wanted to do different things. We toured the world twice and after the studio album I didn't feel like there was a lot more we could do. We didn't want to do it forever, but I enjoyed playing the role for a while, so we'll see.”

After releasing and touring ‘Cosmos Rocks’ all three moved on to separate projects with Rodgers touring with Bad Company last year. He was speaking at the Ivor Novello songwriting awards and also took the opportunity to express his admiration for the late Freddie Mercury and the pressure of trying to fill his role fronting one of the most loved bands of all time.

“I had to fill a role as well as be myself, and it was quite daunting, at first we were just jamming and having fun, but when they put the full rig up and I was stood in the middle, all of a sudden I realised the enormity of what I'd got myself into.”

“I grew to love Freddie. I always had a great deal of admiration for Queen and Freddie, but the more I studied him and his life and his death too, there was no poor me about it, he was just very, very brave.”
