JAKARTA - Brian May (guitar) stated that he and Roger Taylor (bass) are still very open to releasing new music for Queen.

Although he did not mention the time in detail, he said the possibility was still open in the future.

In a recent interview with MOJO, the 77-year-old guitarist said Taylor and himself were still writing new songs in the studio.

"Both Roger (Taylor) and I continue to write and raise ideas and do various things in our studio," said May.

I could have had the start of Queen's song in front of me right now. The only problem is whether the idea reaches maturity or not. The problem is whether the seeds can grow (or not)," he added.

Last year, Taylor also made similar comments. He opened the possibility to record and release Queen's new material.

Brian and I spoke a few days ago, and we both said that if we feel like we have good material, why not? said the bassist.

"We can still play. We can still sing. So, I don't see a reason not to do it," he added.

For information, Queen released the 15th and last studio album posthumously, 'Made In Heaven', in 1995, following Freddie Mercury's (vocals) death in 1991.

May and Taylor have also released Queen's old rediscovered song, featuring the late Mercury vocals on the single "Face It Alone" in 2022.

In 2023, May has also stated that Queen has tried to create new music with their current vocalist, Adam Lambert.
