When:
Short story:
The coming year is designated a sabbatical for Queen, with all members of the band taking a break from group activities.Full article:
Brian May (guitarist, Queen) : We were getting too close to each other ... getting on each other’s nerves which happens periodically. This time we said, 'Let's take a break and give ourselves some breathing space. Let's do individual things, then we can come back to Queen when we actually feel motivated'.
Roger Taylor (drummer, Queen) : After touring America, Europe and Japan we were totally knackered, so we thought we deserved a bit of a rest... It also had a lot to do with the last album (Hot Space) not doing as well as previous LPs. We realised that it hadn't been what a lot of fans wanted or expected from us, so we thought a break would give us the opportunity to think things through a bit.
