Queen Dedicate New Studio Album To Freddie Mercury

Queen receive dedicated their new studio album, their first in 13 long time, to their former frontman Freddie Mercury.


'The Cosmo Rocks' is the band's first base album to feature Mercury's replacement vocaliser Paul Rodgers, who takes shared credits on the project along with guitar player Roger May and Roger Taylor.


The album, which is released on September 15th, will be preceded by the single 'C-lebrity'.


Speaking about the sung, Taylor aforementioned: "�C-lebrity� is really a comment on the electric current concept of fame - success and all that goes with it.


�Getting your face on TV is enough - talent doesn't really embark into the equation. �Celebrity� is an overused and devalued word today. I think the song shows we throw lost none of the humour of Queen.�


The tracklist for 'The Cosmo Rocks' is:


'Cosmos Rockin''

'Time To Shine'

'Still Burnin''

'Small'

'Warboys'

'We Believe'

'Call Me'

'Voodoo'

'Some Things That Glitter'

'C-lebrity'

'Through The Night'

'Say It's Not True'

'Surf's Up . . . School's Out!'
