Queen Reportedly Re-Forming
Theatrical British rockers Queen are planning to re-form and record
together eight years after the AIDS-related death of singer Freddie
Mercury, Britain's Press Association reported. Drummer Roger
Taylor told the Express newspaper he and guitarist Brian
May have discussed heading into the studio this year and plan to "write a
song and see what happens." Taylor also reportedly said he has not spoken to
drummer John Deacon "in ages, but Brian and I are hopeful he will do
it." A singer for the project has not been chosen yet. "The plan ... is to write the
song first and then find the best voice for it," Taylor was quoted as saying. Pop
star George Michael performed Queen's "Somebody to Love" with the
band during a 1992 tribute concert to Mercury.
