After Brian & Roger's live appearance
with Paul Rodgers on vocal at UK Hall Of Fame in November 2004, where 'We Will
rock You', 'We Are The Champions' & 'All Right Now' was performed, they decide
to start a collaboration and see what's happens. This was not really a part 2
for the band Queen. It's more a collaboration with great musicians, which
thistime inc. two former Queen members, and the frontman of Free, Bad Company
& The Firm, as well his own carrier.
They toured Europe & Japan in 2005,
following a USA & Canada tour in 2006.
From this tour, they released 2 live DVD's,. 'Return Of The Champions'
DVD & 2cd/ 3LP, & 'Super Live In Japan' DVD released in Japan
only.
In September 2008 they released their studio album 'Cosmos Rocks', which
following a tour in Europe & South America.
On September 12th. they played a free charity gig in Ukraine, which was filmed
& broadcasted live at Ukraine television.
This show was released world-wide on DVD+2cd in June 2009. Live In Ukraine.
(4 tracks has been edited out).
After the tour in 2008, they decide to take a break in the collaboration. They
all feel they has take this as far as they can. There is no dramatic in this. As
I have written in the beginning, all this was more a 'see what happens...'
thing, and not a start of a new QUEEN or a new band itself.
The guys might appear on charity gigs etc. in the future, but don't count with
more tours or studio work.
You can find more about this on Brian May's home
page.
