It appears that singer Paul Rodgers has amicably parted ways with Queen. At least, that’s the way it’s been reported on Brian May’s official website.

Strangely, May’s website merely reprints a recent Rodgers interview with VH1 Classic Radio, during which he made reference to the future of Q+PR.

May himself doesn’t made any personal comments on the veracity, or otherwise, of the story. Which seems kinda strange.
Rodgers said: “We [Q+PR] did a world tour, we did a second tour of Europe and the Far East and Eastern Europe and a studio album [The Cosmos Rocks] and I think we’re kind of leaving it there gently.”
He added: “It’s out there for us to do things in the future if there’s something, [for instance] a huge charity say like Nelson Mandela, but I think we are pretty much done.”
QP+R’s latest release is a CD/DVD, titled Queen + Paul Rodgers Live In Ukraine, which hits the racks on June 15.
Rodgers has yet to make a formal announcement regarding his long-term plans, although his publicist is playing the rumour down, saying that QP+R are just not touring right now.
Instead, Rodgers undertakes a 10-date tour of the US with Bad Company – featuring original guitarist Mick Ralphs and drummer Simon Kirke – in June and July.
