Spring 2005 marks Queen’s imminent return to the stage in partnership with legendary former Free and Bad Company singer, Paul Rodgers. Brian May, Roger Taylor and Paul Rodgers have unveiled their Spring 2005 tour plans in full - Queen + Paul Rodgers perform at The NEC Arena on Friday 6 May.
Marking the first time Queen has toured since 1986, this much anticipated event will be an unforgettable trip down memory lane for all die hard fans of the world renowned top selling band.
Says Brian May “I never thought I would be doing this again. I was always against the idea of putting someone in there trying to impersonate Freddie in any way. Then suddenly I’m looking at this guy who doesn’t in any sense try to take the place of Freddie. He’s nothing like Freddie because he comes from his own place.”
Queen + Paul Rodgers will be performing Queen songs, plus several familiar songs made famous by Rodgers in both Free and Bad Co. Taylor says that the creative decisions will be made between the three of them, each of them carrying equal weight in the decision making. “The problem we have is in the embarrassment of riches in material to choose from; there’s the whole Queen catalogue, and then you have so many great songs from Paul’s catalogue.”
