Music really isn't a physical product in the first place, it's all about the emotions it brings up in the listeners.
T-shirts and other merchandise has appeared when people have started to ask for a physical product in addition to the emotional one.
The relationship between Queen and the fans is like a rubber band. You can wear it too thin and break it if you try to stretch it too much.

Ivo-1976
Brian turns 65 this year, Roger 63.
My father is retiring at 62 this year.
What do we "owe" them? They have given us great music, excellent shows and entertainment. Now they are getting old. They are taking things easier like everyone else who is in his 60's. And I can't blame them.
Things were never going to be easy after Freddie died. Finding a replacement for Freddie was and is impossible. The tours with Paul Rodgers took a lot of courage and I enjoyed them.
Whatever Brian and Roger decide to do is up to them. I will not support every decision they make, but respect them anyhow.
