January 30, 2008, 16 years ago
QUEEN guitar legend Brian May spoke to the press after the premiere of We Will Rock You in Vienna on January 24, 2008 - a few excerpts from the chat found here follow:
Q: There are rumours that you will be going on tour late this year.
May: "We are planning to. We're planning to tour in the autumn."
Q: What are your plans for the future?
May: "Ah well, we're finishing an album at the moment with Paul Rodgers. We plan to tour later in the year and that's about as far as I can see at the moment. I keep busy. I do lots of other things too. I've become a Chancellor of a University. I don't know if you know that, and a Doctor, and I don't sleep. (laughs)"
Q: Any other musical plans?
May: "We are working - I guess the big news which I didn't tell anyone else, it that we're now working very hard on the sequel. Ben has now finished the first draft of his script called We Will Rock You 2 and so will be the continuing adventures of Scaramouche and Galileo and that's a great challenge, you know. To achieve this once is incredible and we feel lucky, but if we could do it twice, then, you know, and with some new surprises, good fun."
