ROCK legend Sir Brian May has sensationally claimed America has become too “dangerous” to tour.
The Queen guitarist, 78, revealed that the iconic band is “thinking twice” about heading across the pond due to rising safety fears in the States.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, the Bohemian Rhapsody star admitted that the current climate in the U.S. has cast a dark shadow over future concert plans.
“America is a dangerous place at the moment, so you have to take that into account,” May warned.
The curly-haired virtuoso suggested that Queen—fronted by Adam Lambert—aren’t the only ones looking at the map with concern.
“Everyone is thinking twice about going there at the moment,” he added, hinting that the music industry is on high alert over the volatile state of the country.
While May didn’t pinpoint a specific incident, his comments come amid a backdrop of political tension and a series of high-profile security concerns at major public events in the U.S.
The United States has historically been the bread and butter for Queen.
Since the 1970s, the band has sold out legendary venues from Madison Square Garden to the Hollywood Bowl.
The Lambert Era: Since 2011, Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor have toured extensively with American Idol alum Adam Lambert.
The Rhapsody Tour: Their most recent North American stint in 2023 was a massive commercial success, grossing millions and proving the appetite for their hits remains “Radio Ga Ga” levels of huge.
Safety First: In recent years, several artists have expressed concerns over U.S. gun laws and political instability, but May is one of the biggest names to suggests a total boycott could be on the cards.
For fans hoping to catch We Will Rock You live on American soil, the message from the rock doc is clear: Don’t Stop Me Now—unless I’m headed to the States.
