Sorry Queen fans, guitarist Brian May says that the band are not working on a new album because singer Adam Lambert "doesn't want to be with us all the time."
"[A new album] is not coming along, no we're not doing that," May told Gigwise. "Not at the moment anyway, we might do. At the moment we're watching with interest while Adam pursues his solo career, and it seems to be going very well. He's an amazing, amazing artist, and there's no getting away from that. It's very interesting to watch him develop."
"We're very conscious that [Adam] doesn't want to be with us all the time - that would be so wrong, for us to just envelop him and never let him go off and do anything else, so it's very important that his own career is progressing now. We're looking forward to being back together in September to do Rock In Rio, and some dates in Argentina and Venezuela I believe."
Lambert will release his The Original High June 12 via Warner Music.
