I te mutunga o te tau 2004, i kii a May me Taylor ka huihui ano ratou ka hoki ki te haerenga i te tau 2005 me Paul Rodgers (kaiwhakarewa me te kaiwaiata o mua o Free and Bad Company). I kii ano te paetukutuku a Brian May ka "whakaaturia" a Rodgers ki te Kuini hei "Kuini + Paul Rodgers", kaua ki te whakakapi i a Mercury. Kaore a Deacon, i reti, i uru atu. I te marama o Noema 2004, ko Queen tetahi o nga kaiwhakauru tuatahi ki te UK Music Hall of Fame, ana ko te huihuinga whakawhiwhinga te huihuinga tuatahi i uru atu ai a Rodgers ki a May me Taylor hei kaiwaiata. I waenga i te 2005 me te 2006, i haere a Kuini + Paul Rodgers ki te haerenga o te ao, koinei te wa tuatahi i haere a Kuini mai i to raatau haerenga whakamutunga ki a Freddie Mercury i te tau 1986. I kii a Taylor: "I whakaaro matou kaore ano kia hoki mai, i haere mai a Paul me te whai waahi ki a maatau. He kaiwaiata pai a Paul Taylor".
