Brian and Roger are 2 of the most important people in the history of music. They've damn well earned the right to do WHATEVER they want. Just because a few of you on here feel the need to ejaculate your recycled criticisms all over this website makes me think one simple thought. Don't go! Let the rest of us enjoy it. It sure takes a real genius to remind us that Freddie is not alive and cannot be replaced. Thanks for poiting that out to us

Hello everybody. I'd like to see a Queen+ Mika tour. I think mika can be the right choise, because he's voice is very special too, and they song, has a Queen ifluence too... And Mika's said idol is Freddie.
Sok what do you think? On the Cosmos Rocks tour, the set list is almost the same , like the Return Of the champions set list. It' seems to me, like there was the Greatest Hits tour :-)
Roger+Brian and John + Mika...
Please, see some mika footage live on the youtube.....
The feeling like a Queen concert from the '70s years.
I heard a comment on a radio show, in my country. (Hungary)
"Mika is the hidden son of Freddie Mercury. I think his voice is almost like Freddie's had." and he played Mika's song, it's called "Grace Kelly"
Good bye and keep Queening.
Virágom, virágom!

No offense, but IMHO Mika is not Freddie Mercury; Mika is Leo Sayer.

I think it'd be bloody nice to see a tour with both of their solo material.That would make it something rather unique, and worth forking out a bit of cash for.Bu..In saying that, if they ever did come to New Zealand, even if it was just with a live version of greatest hits, then I'm afraid that I must admit, I would go...Because how long is it going to be until AOBTD? How many more opportunities are we really going to have...?

Have you seen Mika live though? I did at Glastonbury in 2007 and I don't think he could pull it off - as a recording artist his voice is amazing but the live singing was much thinner with a lot of cracks/

I've seen Mika live. He's an incredible talent, but he does pop music...I can't see him fronting a rock band. And again I think he reminds me more of Leo Sayer (who was technically gifted, though he got famous for IMHO mediocre pop songs) than Freddie Mercury. And Mika has his own career going right now anyway, it would be a step back for him.
Wouldn't Adam Lambert be the front runner right now?

Leo had a way better voice than Mika. I have to admit I don't think much of his material though, in that I can barely remember anything but "Thunder in My Heart".

Yup - Adam Lambert

If that 'M' person ever appears on a stage with Brian or Roger I will burn every Queen cd, lp, poster and memory I have and pay for a hypnotist to erase every memory I have of freddie.
It surely will be game over. Or just desperation from two old men that should really call it a day.

I don't think Mika is a good choice as a frontman for Queen. I hope that the next tour will be just Brian and Roger, maybe with John...

Hmm, first we complain about PR, then we say bring back PR, we don't want MIKA! I guess that's put QPR in perspective! :)
From a fan's perspective, it would be incredible to hear the 'pure' Queen sound that could be achieved by just Brian and Roger, but I doubt if anyone who wasn't already a fan would go.
And logistically, they'll have to have someone, they'd struggle to hold a full show on their own. And if they did they'd have to have another drummer and guitarist for when Roger and Brian were singing - singing Tie Your Mother Down, for instance, which is a very loud and lively song, requiring lots of movement and energy, while playing guitar would be challanging at the best of times, but in your 60s it would be a lot, no matter how fit Brian is. And I know there are frontmen who also play lead guitar, and are very good at it (Phil Lynott comes to mind) but it is tough. Anyway, my point is that then, instead of sacrificing vocals, they'd be sacrificing the drums and guitar. They already have a different bass player, so what would be left of the sound of Queen?
Queen are all about big and spectacular, just having Brian and Roger would not be the full show and event that a Queen concert is, they;d end up going out with a whimper, rather then a bang.
