Queen Drummer Releases First Solo Song In 12 Years

Queen drummer Roger Taylor has released his first new song in almost 12 years today. The Unblinking Eye (Everything is Broken), the title track from his next album, is available through the official Queen website. The full album is scheduled for release in 2010. Taylor's last release was the full album Electric Fire, released in 1998.

Taylor can also be heard, along with his Queen bandmates, in the new Queen compilation Queen: Absolute Greatest. The album contains Queen's hits spanning their entire career which will be released in four different formats: single disk, double disk (with commentary), double disk with feature book and a vinyl record. A competition was also run by Queen Online to guess the track listing.

Brian May has said that Queen will not tour in 2010, but there might be a performance or two. On Nov. 15, May and Taylor performed live together on the UK TV show The X Factor.
