Queen + Paul Rodgers - Return Of The Champions (2005)

Queen + Paul Rodgers (abbreviated as Q+PR or QPR) is a rock supergroup formed by former members of Queen, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor, and singer Paul Rodgers, former member of Free and Bad Company. The three musicians decided to make music together after a joint performance in 2004, which was followed by a world tour in 2005, which aroused a lot of interest, where they performed the hits of their former bands. The tour was documented in the Return of the Champions concert album and DVD in 2005.

Since 2007, they have been writing and recording songs together, and in 2008 they released an album of completely new songs called The Cosmos Rocks, from which two singles, "Say It's Not True" and "C-lebrity", were released. The album and singles were largely unsuccessful both critically and commercially. Since its formation, the band has been subject to criticism, mainly Queen's stricter fans criticized the use of the band's name, and the album was considered too scattered and bluesy. The band toured with the new album in 2008, and then announced their disbandment in April 2009.
