Brian May used Meta AI to recreate the cover of Queen's 1980 album 'The Game', sharing the unrecognisable result on Instagram and captioning it: "So this is the kind of intelligence that will soon be ruling the world ??! Well, great. Maybe this is the time to realise WE ACTUALLY DON'T NEED AI !!" He added that he was "now very serious", stating "the price we are about to pay for this 'inevitable' development is way too high" and urging against building "hideous Data Centres" in the UK, addressing Prime Minister Andy Burnham: "Dear Andy – you must stop it now. Before it's too late." The article notes the technology has divided creatives, with figures like Backrooms director Kane Parsons and Pope Leo XIV condemning its use. Queen last toured North America in 2023 as part of the 'Rhapsody Tour' with Adam Lambert, with UK and Europe shows in 2022 and Asia in early 2024. Roger Taylor said touring again is "more down to Brian than me". May previously refused to tour the US, calling it a "dangerous place", and declined Glastonbury due to founder Michael Eavis' support of badger culling. May suffered a minor stroke in 2024, leaving him without control over one arm.
