“Today America is a dangerous place, we must take that into account.” Brian May says it in an interview with Daily Mail.
When he says he has to take this into account, he is referring to the fact that, if Queen were to decide to go back on tour with Adam Lambert, which is by no means a given, they would not go to the United States, where they last played in 2023.
“It's sad because I feel like Queen grew up in America and it's a place we love, but it's not what it used to be. At the moment everyone is thinking twice before going there.”
«I don't know when Queen will return to the stage, it's an unknown. We live day by day,” May added. The stroke that struck him in the summer of 2024 kept him away from the stage for a long time, but some time ago he didn't rule out a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas. In 2020 he had a heart attack. Added to other small problems, the guitarist considered it a wake-up call.
Regarding new recordings he said “never say never” and that Queen Two, as he calls them, “are coming back, there are a couple of things you haven't heard”. In December the guitarist's wife Anita Dobson confirmed that the group was working on new material with Adam Lambert, but ruled out, given her husband's health, that they could embark on world tours. “They will do small things, but never big tours again.”
