United Kingdom (2004 – 2009)

In November 2004, the first annual UK Music Hall Of Fame induction ceremony took place and as “Queen” was inducted, surviving active members Brian May and Roger Taylor (without bassist John Deacon who retired from the music business in 1997) play the band’s double A-side hits, “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions”, complete with former “Free” and “Bad Company” frontman Paul Rodgers. They closed the show with Free’s classic, “All Right Now”, with help from “The Polyphonic Spree”. This performance hinted at the possibility of the return of rock’s regal performers after an 18 year hiatus.

By January of 2005, Roger Taylor admitted to German television that they would be touring Europe in the spring and summer of that year, under the name of “Queen + Paul Rodgers”. The full line up included original “Queen” members May (guitar, vocals) and Taylor (drums, vocals) as well as former “The Pretenders” and “Brian May Band” member Jamie Moses (guitar, vocals), former “Blue Oyster Cult” bassist Danny Miranda (bass, vocals), Queen’s 1986 tour keyboard player Spike Edney (keyboards, vocals) and Paul Rodgers (vocals, occasional guitar). Over the course of 2005, the band played in over a dozen European countries as well as the Aruba Festival, 4 dates in Japan, 2 shows in the U.S.A., and 1 show in South Africa The band embarked upon a large scale tour of Northern America during Spring 2006 hitting 22 venues in the U.S.A. and 2 in Canada.

    It's sad he can't reach those high Cs and everything (Paul Rodgers) but still he has a nice voice. Although I've recently seen a video of a guy with a true tenor who sang "Somebody to Love." This was really awesome and I think he was so much better than Rodgers. You might wish to check this guy out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dREKkAk628I
