Queen have been “trying things out” in the studio with Adam Lambert.

The group released their last studio album ‘Made in Heaven’ back in 1995 – four years after the death of lead singer Freddie Mercury. But according to guitarist Brian May, the group is considering cutting new tracks with live frontman Adam Lambert.

While the rockers have been performing live with the former ‘American Idol’ star for a decade, Brian isn’t convinced a new record would workout with the group’s current line-up.

He told Guitar Player magazine: “I always say, ‘I don’t know.’ It would have to be a very spontaneous moment.

“Actually, Adam, Roger and myself have been in the studio trying things out, just because things came up. But up to this point we haven’t felt that anything we’ve done has hit the button in the right way.

“So it’s not like we’re closed to the idea, it’s just that it hasn’t happened yet.”

And Brian admitted the coronavirus pandemic has made it even more difficult to think about a new record.

He added: “And to be honest, life has now taken a turn in which it’s very difficult to explore an avenue like that.

“Things may change, but I don’t think they’re going to change very fast.”
