Paul Rodgers & Queen Part Ways
8th May 2009
Paul Rodgers says that it is unlikely that he will tour or record again with legendary rock band Queen.
VH1 Classic Radio News reports that the singer, who is about to embark on a ten date US tour with Bad Company, says his parting from the group was completely amicable.
“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.”
And of the surprisingly small Bad Company tour, he told VH1 that this is purely down to how much he’s toured over the past few years, and NOT, as one bizarre rumour suggested, because of the swine flu problem at the moment.
“Well, you know, I’ve travelled and I’m not worried about stuff like that. I usually find, to be honest with you, that most of those things are exaggerated way out of proportion. You know, I’m not afraid to travel, it’s just I want to be able to focus more on waking up in one place and working on music, I think really, and that’s really the reason. I think next year I’ll probably be touring my brains out.”
