How many tours can Queen play without new music?

Every new Queen tour means new excitement...

...but being a long time fan while the guys are mostly slaves of their own hits, makes every tour a bit empty, with no feeling those old tours always related to their albums always had.

Magic tour? Magic lights, yellow and blue clothes... and a great new 86 album.

The Works tour? Brown and heavy machines...and a great new 84 album.

Even Cosmos Rocks tour had a cosmic feel... and his own album.

But what about all these greatest hits tours?
Are they saying they can not write good stuff anymore so they just play the same every time?

As many as Black Sabbath, The Who, The Eagles, and Fleetwood Mac! That means on and on! :)

I recall when they toured The Cosmos Rocks, Roger said in an interview that it was a valid tour as they had new material to play as a going concern, and he didn't want to tour as just a 'hits' band.

His bank manager along with Jim Beach clearly changed his mind.

As much ans they can. Their catalogue is literally ENDLESS.

No....it's NOT 'literally' endless; it's figuratively endless. It's literally extensive, long, vast, big, etc..etc...!

I thought the song "TwoFux" was a queen one, but learnt it was a Adam Lambert solo song.

Do we know who wrote "Twofux" though?
Basically blind em and deaf em in the first 10 minutes, and while they are recovering from that put in the less good songs

I remember reading it was Adam + Someone Else. I would not rule out some help from Brian, though, as it sounds Queen-esque.

Twelve. After that the Dr has to regenerate.

They'll tour until Roger needs a cane and Brian can't remember where he left his Red Special.

They should have stopped to be called Queen back in 1992 when they did the tribute concert. Queen were four, not three nor two.

And every other band who have had line up changes, for what ever reason can carry on as they are, just not this one?!

Oh, shut up.

Well, ok, don't shut up, you have a right for an opinion, but I'm sick of that argument.

The NOTW angle works ok this time around. And when I saw then in 2012 playing at the Hammersmith Odeon again was enough to justify it. They're ok.
