Queen’s last album was Made in Heaven, which was released in 1995 and featured material written by Mercury.
The band have also announced a Queen and Paul Rodgers 14-nation European tour starting in September, including six dates in the UK in October.

These will be in Nottingham, Glasgow, London, Cardiff, Birmingham and Liverpool.
