Queen Scales Back Touring Plans After Brian May’s Health Scare

Her statement conflicts with Roger Taylor’s earlier assertion that the band was not finished touring.

Overview

  • Anita Dobson told The Mirror that Queen will do “little bits and bobs” and avoid large-scale tours.
  • Her comments come after Brian May’s minor stroke in September 2024, which briefly affected control of his left arm.
  • May says he is OK and has returned to studio work with Adam Lambert following hospital treatment and recovery.
  • Earlier this year Roger Taylor told Rolling Stone the group was not done and would not stage a formal farewell tour, revealing mixed signals on future plans.
  • May also survived a 2020 heart attack treated with stents, a history that is informing decisions about the scale of any live activity.
