Is that news item on the main page about Queen doing an INXS type show looking for a new singer? If it is then I have one simple statement - WTF!!!
Queen doesn't need a permanent new singer. When the whole Paul Rodgers thing ends then hopefully they'll just let Queen rest in peace. Maybe they can do some solo stuff or something, but please no more Queen revivals unless somehow Freddie comes back from the dead, in which case I say hell yeah.

I really hope not. That INXS programme was awful. Some woman was singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and uggghh. I really hope they don't. I'd love to see solo stuff instead of making the image of Queen, 2 old guys with a new frontman/woman every year.
Folks, I have refrained from replying to these threads, unless it's to call BPP a c**t.
I truly think the old warhorses just wanted to play live and enjoy themselves. Roger, Brian and John are worth a minimum of £50m each. I'm basing this on the last Times Rich List I saw.
They don't do it for the money. I genuinely believe they did it for the thrill. I saw them, thought it was great. My mate had never seen ANY of the members of Queen live. He had a whale of a time. Fuck the naysayers.
But I don't think we'll see the like again. Just cos the Stones tour in their sixties, doesn't mean Rog and Brian will do the same.
It was a last hurrah.
The INXS/Queen thing is rumour that won't happen.
Once again people don't read the entire news item.
FACT 1: It's a rumour.
FACT 2: Brian already said on his site that he hates the show.
On the latter fact, that part was also mentioned at the bottom of the news item.
Peace,
Adam.

True, but Brian also stated on numerous occaisions that they will never play as Queen without Freddie! So who knows, may happen.
It would definitely be interesting to see a new Chinese front man with Queen. He's probably going to be like 15 years old and has yet to learn the 3 chords on the guitar.
Good luck...

No, we do read it. That'll be why I said it's a rumour. Mind u...can't speak for anyone else.

So true. Seems with Brian anything might be possible, including something as stupid as that.

They aren't playing as "Queen". They are playing as "Queen + Paul Rodgers."
:-P
I would hope that they might do ONE more tour, just for the chance of hearing some more of the newer tracks played live. Heaven For Everyone, Breakthru, Was It All Worth It, and a proper band version of IWBTLY would be great to hear live. For a new singer, look no further than Danny Bowes, from Thunder.
