Q+PR hoef ik niet meer te zien. 2x gezien (Antwerpen en Sheffield) maar dat vind ik goed genoeg. Wel ben ik benieuwd naar Queen zonder Paul Rodgers. Dat Brian en Roger zelf elk 1/3 van de zang op zich nemen (en dus wat andere liedjes langs komen) en dan een paar nummers door een gastzanger. En dat ze in de encore de grootste hit van die gastzanger ook spelen. Maar niet meer Paul 7/10 van alle nummers doen.

Wees realistisch, Ze gaan denk ik geen nieuw album meer maken, Maar goed, Dat denk ik he:P.

"Here's a summary of the news that I found most exciting from Roger's message, the Q&A with his drum tech Nigel and a conversation I had with Nigel whilst he was guarding the drum kit later on:

In addition to saying he will be working with Brian in 2010, Rog said in his message that he's busy writing new material and Nigel later confirmed that Roger had already used the drum kit on show at the convention to record some new solo material. They are busy compiling his back catalogue of solo material, but Nigel said it wasn't decided yet what sort of future release this would be. My guess would be a "Best of" or a box set with some bonus new tracks. Rog is also preparing for the launch of his own website, which would figure as a new solo release seems imminent.

I asked Nigel during the Q&A if Roger, Brian and/or Queen would tour again, and he said.... wait for it...... "99% yes, next year". Someone later tried to clarify if he was referring to Rog solo dates or Queen concerts and his answer hinted that both were in the reckoning. He later said to me that in his opinion, we'd almost certainly see Queen doing some dates next year. When I asked whether Paul would be singer, he was very quick to point out that these were his own personal opinions and he was not making any sort of official statement on behalf of the band, but he sees it as "Doubtful - Paul may or may not come back"

When it comes to taking on logic-defying challenges, Queen have never fought shy: think Hyde Park, Latin America, Live Aid. All these years later, Queen are still living adventurously. Here’s the case in point: just weeks ahead of the start of the band’s 2008 Queen + Paul Rodgers’ The Cosmos Rocks tour the band were approached to help Ukraine’s AntiAids Foundation reach out to the youth of the country with the message ‘Don’t Let Aids Ruin Your Life”.

In a country facing the highest rising rate of infection throughout Europe, it is a message which cannot wait. For Queen + Paul Rodgers – already well prepared for a tour opening with two nights at Moscow’s SCO arena, it would mean some drastic rethinking. The venue on offer was Kharkov, Ukraine’s, historic Freedom Square, a place so big that during World War II it was used to land planes. For the band and crew it meant “Everyone had to run very fast, very suddenly, but then most of the great and worthwhile things in your life are a little dangerous.” Despite the seeming impossibility of it, Queen + Paul Rodgers made it to Freedom Square for the night of September 12, 2008.

Over 350,000 Ukrainians came to see them play and more than 10million homes watched the show live on television. In all, more than 20 million took part in what the band recall as “an unforgettable experience…one of those rare things in life you know you will never forget. A meeting in Music, but also a coming together to fight a common enemy…”

Had je wat anders verwacht dan? Moet eerlijk zeggen dat ik de laatste paar releases maar erg matig vind.

Well, you know, we did a world tour, we did a second tour of Europe and the Far East and Eastern Europe and we did a studio album and I think we’re kind of leaving it there gently. It’s out there for us to do things in the future if there’s something, a huge charity say like Nelson Mandela, I’m always open to that, but I think we are pretty much done.
