Cosmos Rocks: Deluxe Edition

The Cosmos Rocks is the debut studio album by Queen + Paul Rodgers released in 2008. It contains 14 new tracks written by Brian May, Paul Rodgers and Roger Taylor. This is the first studio album of new material from the two remaining members of Queen since 1995's Made in Heaven, and is the only studio collaboration to date with Paul Rodgers. The album hit #5 in the UK and #1 in Estonia, where it stayed for ten weeks. Queen alongside Paul Rogers entered Roger Taylor's own Priory studio in late 2006 having completed the American leg of their world tour to record the album. Sessions were initially scheduled around Rodgers' other touring commitments. Throughout the promotion for his solo tour, Rodgers' also debuted songs such as "Warboys", and "Voodoo". John Deacon's continued retirement meant that bass duties are shared between Rodgers and May. The first single, "Say It's Not True" was released nine months before the album was released. The second single, "C-lebrity" (featuring backing vocals by Foo Fighters Drummer, Taylor Hawkins) was previewed on Al Murray's Happy Hour in April, five months before the album was released. The album's release came 17 years after the death of Queen's lead singer, Freddie Mercury, in 1991.
Deluxe Edition contains a Live in Japan DVD.
