Roger Taylor solo album and Queen touring status
Overview
Roger Taylor, the drummer for Queen, has released his seventh solo studio album, ‘Violence Insane in a Beautiful World’. Released via Columbia, the project explores themes of social and environmental concerns, such as war and plastic pollution. The album includes political commentary, notably criticizing Reform UK leader Nigel Farage in the track ‘Chump’, and features collaborations with the Ndlovu Youth Choir.
As part of a UK tour supporting the new album, Taylor performed a sold-out concert at London’s Roundhouse, where Brian May joined him for the final two songs. While Taylor has expressed a willingness to continue live performances if both members agree, the future of Queen’s touring remains uncertain.
Following reports that the band might never tour again, Brian May has clarified his position. While May previously stated in an interview with The Times that he does not wish to participate in further traditional concert tours—noting that “maybe 50 years is enough” and expressing a desire to prioritize family and astrophysics—he has since used social media to explain that his remarks were misinterpreted. He clarified that while he personally decided 18 months ago to take a break from touring, he never stated that Queen would never tour again.
May and Taylor continue to work on Queen projects behind the scenes. May remains interested in exploring revolutionary live performance methods, such as immersive experiences similar to those at the Sphere in Las Vegas, though he maintains ethical reservations regarding the use of artificial intelligence, describing data centers as a “huge evil” that must be fought.
