Queen's Brian May no longer wants to tour after death of friend

Queen guitarist Brian May is retiring from touring after five decades to prioritize time with his family following a personal tragedy. While he is stepping away from traditional concert circuits, he is currently exploring the development of a technologically innovative Queen-themed live experience.

Brian May, the 76-year-old guitarist of the legendary rock band Queen, has expressed his desire to retire from extensive touring following the death of a close family friend. May revealed that he felt constrained by professional obligations when the tragedy occurred during a recent trip to the United States, realizing that the sacrifice of his personal freedom has become too great. He plans to prioritize spending time with his wife and grandchildren after a five-decade career in the spotlight.

Despite stepping away from traditional touring, May remains interested in live performance and is exploring the possibility of creating a revolutionary Queen-themed concert experience. He was inspired by recent technological advancements in venues like The Sphere in Las Vegas, though he expressed significant reservations regarding the use of artificial intelligence in such productions. The band's final international tour, which featured Adam Lambert on lead vocals, concluded in early 2024.
