They will rock you

[Paul Stanley]

Champions of anthemic rock, Queen + Paul Rodgers - have announced a 23-date tour of the U.S. and Canada in the spring.

The official word comes just a few weeks after Queen and Rodgers played two sold-out shows at The Meadowlands, N.J., and the Hollywood Bowl on a stop-off along the way to their recent sold out Japanese tour.

Away from the North America concert circuit for more than two decades - a forced retirement caused by the death of lead singer Freddie Mercury - Queen + Paul Rodgers will launch a coast-to-coast tour March 3 at American Airlines Arena in Miami.

The arena tour will closely re-route the band's '82 North American trek, playing Washington D.C., New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, and Portland, among other U.S. cities, plus Canadian stops in Toronto and Vancouver, where the tour winds up on April 13.

Tickets for the earliest shows go on sale starting December 3 with on-sale dates staggered through December 17.

For the spring 2006 tour, Brian May (guitar & vocals), Roger Taylor (drums & vocals) and Paul Rodgers (vocals, guitar & piano) will be joined by Danny Miranda, ex-Blue Oyster Cult on bass, Jamie Moses, former Brian May band member on second guitar, and Spike Edney, long-time Queen sideman on keyboards.

I don't know how to feel about this. Frustrated and confused?

[Guest Malia Young]

It is a little known fact that I can meow a perfect imitationof Brian May's vocal stylings.

Brian May is the guitar player, you fucking dumbshit cat.

[The Czech Republic]

Awesome.

Until 4 days ago, I thought Queen was one guy. I'm a cat, for fur's sake.

[Renegade]

Brain May and Roger Taylor are such tools.

By the way, which one's Pink?

[Annabelle]

shame on those who support this tour

[Sideburnious]

Yeah, I couldn't face buying a ticket. Without Freddy, it just wouldn't feel right.

[Slayer]

*stomp stomp clap. stomp stomp clap* YOU ARE YOU ARE DEAD TOO!

[2GOLD]

Depends on the ticket price. I'd imagine it'll be high which means it's a no for me. Queen without Freddy needs to be a discounted price.

[Sideburnious]

Queen without Freddy should be a once of song (even a concert is a stretch) on his birthday or anniversary or something, not a tour.

I'd doubt it Brian May really needs the money either, unless he's blown it all on hair dye.
