More details have started to surface about the latest project from Queen and singer Paul Rodgers. Guitarist Brian May recently told Rolling Stone that the set, tentatively titled The Cosmos Rocks, will arrive in September. The latest band line-up features May, drummer Roger Taylor, and Rodgers, who hails from the groups Bad Company and Free. They first got together in 2005 on tour.

May said, "It was clear that if we were to go out again, we needed some new stuff. It needed to be an ongoing, living, evolving, organic unit. This album has done that." May said that late Queen singer Freddy Mercury would probably approve, saying, "I often think of Freddie smiling -- I think he's enjoying it."

Queen and Paul Rodgers will tour Europe this year. A U.S. leg is being scheduled for spring 2009

And there you are! :D

In all fairness to Journey, they are putting out new music. I wonder to the casual fan, if the re-recordings will raise the awareness of the new music or detract from it?

I thought I had heard they were just using session bassists. I can't even remember who they had out on tour with them
