Two songs that May had composed for his first solo album , " Headlong " and " I Ca n't Live With You " , eventually ended up in the Queen project . His other composition was " The Show Must Go On " , a group effort in which he was the coordinator and primary composer . In recent years , he has supervised the remastering of Queen albums and various DVD and greatest hits releases . In 2004 , he announced that he and drummer Roger Taylor were going on tour for the first time in 18 years as " Queen " , along with Free/Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers . Billed as " Queen Paul Rodgers " , the band played throughout 2005 and 2006 in South Africa , Europe , Aruba , Japan , and North America and released a new album with Paul Rodgers in 2008 , entitled '' The Cosmos Rocks '' . This album was supported by a major tour . Paul Rodgers then left the band in May 2009 and it was n't until 2011 that another vocalist , Adam Lambert , was recruited . They subsequently went on a 2012 European Tour , a world tour over 2014 and 2015 and , most recently , 2016 Festival Tour .
