Despite these successful tours, the creation of new studio material has been limited. May and Taylor have previously attempted to record new songs with Lambert but have yet to release any new studio recordings. May explained that while they have brought up the subject, their focus on live performances and Lambert’s solo career have made scheduling studio time challenging.

In 2022, Queen released “Face It Alone,” a rediscovered track featuring Mercury’s vocals, which was met with enthusiasm from fans. The SunLOS40+3BLABBERMOUTH.NET+3NME+3
