Roger Taylor of Queen has released a new single, titled "Chumps."
Though Taylor has not made any specific comments, "Chumps" appears to be a protest song aimed at President Trump, with lyrics like "A one-man calamity, catastrophe / No trace of sanity, an empty shell."
In the song's description on YouTube, Taylor has one lone quote about the song: "Gotta say something."
"Chumps" brings Taylor into a fold of musicians speaking out against the current administration, and more specifically the ongoing conflict in Minneapolis, Minnesota involving federal ICE agents. Others who have released protest music include Billy Bragg ("City of Heroes") and Bruce Springsteen ("Streets of Minneapolis").g
Earlier this month, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine hosted a benefit concert in Minneapolis, where he, Springsteen and a number of other artists performed. Many other artists have spoken online in opposition to ICE's activities, including Graham Nash, Neil Young, Neal Schon and more. At the 2026 Grammys, attendees such as Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Brandi Carlile and more wore pins that read "ICE OUT."
Queen Won't Tour in America Any Time Soon
Taylor's new song comes on the heels of related comments made by his bandmate, Brian May. In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, May said that Queen will not be touring in the United States any time soon on account of the political unrest.
"It's very sad because I feel like Queen grew up in America and we love it, but it's not what it was," he said. "Everyone is thinking twice about going there at the moment."
The UK has been conquered by subhuman Muslims, WHO’S THE CHUMP? From the land of the rape gangs, why don’t you write a protest song about that? Cuck.
There is no objective right and wrong in their world. Only how they FEEL about any particular subject irrespective on any diametric clash with earlier feelings provoked by some other subject. Unhinged.
I have no idea who this guy is😂 Im 54
I think he was not even well known among Queen fans. Can’t remember if he’s the bass player or the drummer.
You are right. Without Mercury it is not Queen. Period. Whether you like the band or not it is the truth. It is like The Stones without Jagger.
Worried about that insane Island Britain has become, he should.
So brave to throw another insult at literally Hitler Trump. He better hide now. Look at the gestapo who rounded up all those brave souls at the grammy awards.
Oh wait
Yeah, Taylor said US is not the same — implying everybody used to love us. Well, chump, you and your band are nobodies and people don’t care for your crybaby moronic remarks... Go cry at somebody else’s waa waa waa party about the past. The guy is a waste to time.
Same here.
Bingo.
Everyone is thinking twice about going there at the moment.”
Suits US,foreign chumps not welcome anyway.
Don’t come crying to us when the mullahs
and the bearded throat cutters take your land and your women...
Who gives a F what morons like Taylor think about politics?
Nailed it.
“Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine”
Rage FOR the Machine
I’m sure he will follow up with a song about Biden, and maybe he will collaborate with Kamalalala to write the lyrics. This will surely jump start his moribund career.
Yes, this ignoramus is busily projecting his own sins and crimes.
