Queen drummer Roger Taylor has confirmed that the project to create an album from Freddie demos has been officially cast aside although there could be two songs that could make it to release.
Taylor told Ultimate Classic Rock, “I’ve got to tell you, there won’t be an album. There’s just not enough and the last thing I want to do is have a sort of barrel-scraping exercise.”
The rumoured Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson songs do exist and will be released. “There’s a couple of great tracks that Freddie recorded with Michael Jackson that Brian and I are working on and they are good. So at some point they will surface I think when we feel it’s a good moment. I don’t really want to ride any sort of wave there. So that’s an interesting thing, but that will be probably later some point next year.”
Expect some Queen activity in 2012.
