Brian May reflects on how long Queen will continue

Queen was formed back in 1970 by Brian May, Roger Taylor and Freddie Mercury, with the bassist John Deacon joining them in 1971. Since then the band remained active with some pauses along the decades, especially after Mercury’s death. But since the begining of the 21st century the band has been led by May and Taylor, since Deacon decided to retire back in the 90s and Freddie passead away in 1991 at the age of 45.

Brian May reflects on how long Queen will continue

“Y’know it always feels a bit that way. It’s like, how long can we do this? I don’t know how long my legs will deal with what I have to do out there, and the hands too. You get problems as you get older, which you don’t really want to talk about, but it makes doing what you do that bit harder every time.”

“I don’t want people to be thinking about that when they see me doing my stuff because I will be over it – adrenaline will take over and I’ll be able to handle it. But there will come a day when we can’t, it ain’t gonna work. For the time being, if we can do it we do it,” Brian May said.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
