WITH a new album in the pipeline - the first new studio album to carry the Queen name since the Freddie Mercury sessions - Queen is heading back on the road for a four-month tour with a gig at the Cardiff International Arena.
They go on the road once again in the company of musician/singer/songwriter Paul Rodgers who joined the band for their 2005/2006 world tour, the European leg of which ended with the band's London Hyde Park open air concert before going on to play the US and Japan.
Together Brian May, Roger Taylor and Paul Rodgers have recorded their first album's worth of material which is jointly written and produced.
With the title yet to be publicly disclosed, the album is being readied for release September 1, two weeks ahead of the start of the tour.
The Queen and Paul Rodgers 28-date arena tour will take in 14 countries in just seven weeks.
They come to the CIA on Tuesday, October 14.
