Brian May has revealed that he and his Queen band mates have been working together to create new music. The band now consists of lead guitarist May, singer Adam Lambert, and drummer Roger Taylor after the deaths of bassist John Deacon and singer Freddie Mercury.

It would have to be a very spontaneous moment,” May said. May went on to say that the group has “been in the studio trying things out, just because things came up.” The group hasn’t “felt that anything we’ve done has hit the button in the right way,” May said. “So it’s not like we’re closed to the idea, it’s just that it hasn’t happened yet.” May emphasized the increasing difficulty of writing and producing music during recent times due to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. “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.” Last month, May released a song, ‘Panic Attack 2021,’ with his longtime music partner Kerry Ellis. It’s a twist on the single ‘It’s Gonna Be Alright (The Panic Attack Song)’ which the two released in 2017. May explained that the origins of the new single lie in the state of mental health that many are experiencing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. May said that “Kerry and I realised that The Panic Attack song now potentially had a whole new meaning to literally millions of people around the world who felt a growing sense of panic.”
In the midst of the pandemic, May has found a bright spot in the way that he can use social media to perform for and interact with fan. "People take up the challenge of jamming along with me and then they put it out there so I can see it,” he said. "It's very interactive. So it's great.
