Brian May confirms Queen will return to live circuit

Brian May has confirmed that Queen are looking into doing more gigs.

The 'Bohemian Rhapsody' band have sporadically performed over the last few years with Adam Lambert on vocals.

Speaking on his official website on Thursday (January 16), guitarist May revealed that he and drummer Roger Taylor are discussing potential gig dates.

Whilst he didn't confirm Lambert's inclusion, May did state that there will be participants other than himself and Taylor. He said:

"We've also been looking at doing some dates – Roger and myself, and who knows who else!! ha ha! Of course these days nothing is a secret for more than the 5 minutes it takes for Twitter and Facebook to spread rumours. But today [15 Jan] I saw an amazing working list of dates, and...well, I think we’re up for one more swing out there. In fact, in our Queen meeting today, we drank on it!"

The rock veteran also added that progress will soon ensue on a movie biopic about late singer Freddie Mercury: "We seem to be still hovering on the button as I write, ready to start the engine rolling on the Freddie film. It's been a long haul as you know, trying to assemble the right team to make the film. And I have learned, in my short time in the movie world, that availability is everything. It's no use assembling a team whose members are not all available at the same time!

"There are windows of opportunity, when everyone you need is free, but the windows can close unexpectedly, and it's back to the drawing board! But the line-up is looking very exciting...I think just the announcement will cause a bit of a sensation!"
