Following the Oscar-winning success of box office smash Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen and Adam Lambert headed off on a world tour in 2019. However, the pandemic cut their dates short with the UK and Europe shows being postponed for two years. Itâs only been a few months since Brian May, Roger Taylor and their singer collaborator last performed together, but a new post has fans thinking theyâll be back on stage much sooner rather than later.
Brian posted a photo on his Instagram of himself with Roger and Adam and captioned it: âThe Boys are Back in Town !! Bri.â This is particularly significant as the three arenât exactly neighbours, so clearly have a reason to be reuniting. The snap sent fans into a frenzy in the comments, with many convinced that a tour will be announced.
One wrote, âAre they going to do a tour in 2023?â and another added, âDiscussing when and where the next tour will kick off, possibly!? I surely hope so.â The guitarist has certainly hinted this is the case in recent interviews.
Speaking with Variety earlier this month, Brian said: âThereâs a strong possibility that weâll be going out together again. Weâre talking about that as you and I speak, making those decisions. Now, it does get to be more of a decision as you get older. Iâm not 35 anymore, and leaving home for two months is not easy. But we feel as like if weâre all fit and well, that weâd like to go out there one more time.â
The 75-year-old legend then gave a big hint of which region Roger, Adam and he are aiming for next year.

Brian shared: âIt would probably be in the United States in 2023 at some point. Iâm hoping that happens, but itâs a strong possibility.â
Queen and Adam Lambert last performed their set in North America in 2019, so fans over there are due for another visit. When asked previously about another tour just before the last European date in Finland this summer, the guitarist shared the toil of performing with Covid restrictions had had on him backstage.
Brian said at the time: âThis has been a long tour, incredibly demanding. And weâve lived the life of monks as well. Weâve worn our masks, we havenât met people, we havenât done meet and greets. I havenât signed an autograph, I havenât done any pictures, because we treasured the fact we would do every show, we wouldnât cancel any show because of COVID. Thatâs a two or three months discipline. So we need to take a deep breath and get back out into the world somehow again.â
