YORK (Paul Rodgers Official Website) - Queen guitarist/vocalist Brian
May said: "It really all came about because of the Fender 50th
Anniversary gig that I did with Paul Rodgers [last September]. We were
both so amazed at the chemistry that was going on in 'All Right Now'
that suddenly it seemed blindingly obvious that there was 'something
happening here.'" A few weeks later, May, Queen
drummer/vocalist Roger Taylor and Rodgers played together in public for
the first time, bringing the house to its feet at the televised UK Hall
of Fame Awards in London with blistering versions of "We Will Rock
You," "We Are The Champions," and the finale, "All Right Now." Rodgers
noted: "Powerful and real; explosive and dynamic! That's how it felt
when Queen and I played together in London. With the chill factor off
the scale...the unanimous feeling was 'let's do more.' We intend to
merge our styles and our music at the point where they meet most
naturally. Soulful rock with raw emotion." Taylor said: "Paul
is not someone trying to be Freddie [Mercury, who died in 1991]. He's
one of the people who have influenced all the singers who are out there
at the moment and Freddie was a great fan of his. I always hoped we
would tour again and I'm thrilled we're doing it. It feels good and it
smells good, and I know we're doing it with the right singer for the
right reasons."
