Queen have teased that they will release a brand new album - almost 30 years after their last.

The iconic rock band was formed in 1970 and produced huge anthems including We Will Rock You and I Want to Break Free.

Frontman Freddie Mercury tragically died in 1991 at the age of 45 due to an AIDS-related illness - and the band posthumously released the record Made In Heaven in 1995.

Surviving band members Brian May, 77, and Roger Taylor, 75, have continued to tour as the band - with American singer Adam Lambert providing lead vocals.

In an interview with Uncut magazine, Taylor offered hope a new album could be recorded, saying, "I think we might.

"Brian and myself were talking the other day, and we both said that if we feel we have some good material, why not? We can still play. We can still sing. So I don't see why not."

The drummer went on to debunk some of the wildest rumours about his band which have haunted them over the years.

He said, "There's a lot of myths. One of them is the bald dwarves at the party in New Orleans with cocaine on their heads.

"It's rather funny, but it is a myth - I didn't see any, anyway. But there was a man who moved under meat. He lay on a table covered in cold cuts, and when somebody approached the table, he would wobble, and all the meat would move and freak people out."

He added, "I think that's much stranger than a dwarf with cocaine on his head."
