Queen Doesnt Want To Tour With Freddie Hologram (Radio) Legendary Queen guitarist Brian May is a busy man these days. His successful Queen musical We Will Rock You is touring the U.S. this fall, celebrating its 11th year in production with over 15 million people having seen the show. May joined Boston radio station WZLX, (a Radio station) and talked about the production and other future plans regarding Queen. The musical, built of course around the music and spirit of Queen, tells a fantastical tale on music and the influence of new digital technology on rock and roll as it takes place in a dystopian future where everything is programmed and nothing sounds human anymore. Even though its purely fictional the satirical approach of the show paints a picture of what many cynics might see as the path rock music is taking. Its a fantasy, but its based on the history of rock and roll where you are, and the future of rock and roll, he said. May also spoke at length about the idea of another Queen tour featuring a hologram of Freddie Mercury, who would perform right along with the band. May doesnt like the idea, mainly because it would make him, Roger Taylor and the others feel more like an exhibit at the Museum of Science than a rock concert. I dont want to be touring with a hologram, he said. It makes you feel like museum pieces, and were not fossils, were alive. May added that it just wouldnt feel right and that he finds it more interesting to tour with a similar-sounding live singer like Adam Lambert anyway
