Queen Back on Stage? Roger Taylor Puts the Decision on Brian May

Roger Taylor is up for it. Asked on BBC Radio 2's "Rock Show" whether Queen might return to the stage in the foreseeable future, the 76-year-old started dryly: getting a machine like that up and running is a job in itself. Then he was clearer — he loves playing live, always has. The decision, though, rests less with him than with Brian May. If they both wanted it, he would be there. We'll see, he said; never say never.

Little currently points to May. The guitarist, now 78, told the Daily Mail in January that America is a dangerous place at the moment and that this has to be taken into account — effectively leaving a US return somewhere between open and off. When Queen might play again, he said, he does not know; they take it day by day.

Singer Adam Lambert, on the road with May and Taylor since 2012, was asked the same thing a few weeks ago. His answer was short: nothing is on the books. Taylor praised him anyway — Lambert, he said, has the most incredible voice.

One glimmer for fans: May hinted to the Daily Mail that new Queen music is not out of the question. It had been time for a break, he said, for family, for taking stock.
