I am a Queen purist. The minute FM died was the death of Queen. That May and Taylor continue to tour as Queen with the talented Paul Rogers is ludicrous and sad. Queen was a very talented, successful band. Each member wrote at least one no. 1 hit. Not many bands achieve that.The integrity and significance of the group is diminished with May and Taylor still performing as Queen. Taylor has his own band, "The Cross," and May has a Ph.D.in astro-physics and is a chancellor at Imperial College and just co-authored a book about the universe. Mr. Deacon, will you please tell your former bandmates how ridiculous they look and how rewarding retirement can be? Don't they realize that however talented they are, if it were not for the influence of FM in everything from costumes to staging, not to mention his showmanship and incredible voice, Queen NEVER would have become as famous as they did? Hang it up guys. The world will respect you for it. Queen's music will live forever. What more could you ask for?
