Brian May clarifies Queen's touring future

Brian May has clarified recent comments regarding the future of Queen's touring, stating that his previous remarks were misinterpreted. Following an interview with The Times where he suggested he might be finished with touring after 50 years to focus on family and astrophysics, the guitarist used Instagram to emphasize that he never explicitly said the band would not tour again.

May explained that while he made a personal decision 18 months ago to take a break from the rigors of touring, he remains open to new adventures. He noted that he and drummer Roger Taylor continue to work together on various Queen-related projects behind the scenes.

The guitarist also expressed interest in revolutionary live performance formats. Inspired by the Sphere in Las Vegas, May mentioned sketching out ideas for an immersive Queen show, though he expressed reservations about the current necessity of using artificial intelligence to achieve such technological feats.
