Legendary rock band says it will never tour the U.S. again: ‘America is a dangerous place’
Brian May cites safety concerns and health issues including a 2024 minor stroke as reasons Queen will avoid large U.S. tours, focusing instead on smaller shows or no tours.
- Speaking to the Daily Mail on Thursday, Brian May, guitarist of Queen, said Queen will not tour the United States anytime soon, adding 'America is a dangerous place at the moment, so you have to take that into account'.
- Brian May cited health and family pressure when explaining the decision, noting his 2024 minor stroke temporarily affected his left arm and Anita Dobson urged him to cut back last month.
- Queen's commercial heft and recent touring history frame the decision, with nearly 109 million U.S. sales and 250 million–300 million worldwide, and their last U.S. tour featured Adam Lambert on the Rhapsody Tour.
- Rather than large-scale touring, the surviving members plan limited appearances, with Anita Dobson saying they will do small shows instead of full-scale tours and Roger Taylor confirming no farewell tour plans.
- Political and ethical stances have influenced where Queen will perform, as Brian May declined Glastonbury Festival next year over its organisers' politics and animal‑rights issues.
