Queen Have Old And New Material Coming As Musical Opens In Toronto

Queen

Rock band Queen will release a separate live DVD and two-CD set this fall featuring a 1981 concert at the Montreal Forum.

According to the band's official website, the DVD will be issued through Eagle and will feature the entire concert as well as still unconfirmed extras. Parlophone Records will put out the double-CD. Neither release has a title yet.

Queen worked with composer Steve Wood to score the IMAX film, The Alps, which will be released this summer. The film, which shows John Harlin III attempting to scale the same mountain that his father died climbing, features orchestrated reworkings of "Who Wants To Live Forever" and "It's A Beautiful Day," along with more obscure songs like "Bijou."

Queen returned to touring in 2005 with former Bad Company and Free singer Paul Rodgers taking the place of the late Freddie Mercury. They released a live double album called Return Of The Champions. The band — who released their last studio effort, Made In Heaven, in 1995 — are working on material with Rodgers that's expected to result in a new LP.

We Will Rock You, the Queen musical written and directed by British comic Ben Elton, opens at Toronto's Canon Theatre on Tuesday.
