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."

Well, I guess he needs to find some way to get clicks. This has 7k likes on YT, which isn't that much. I wonder what his last song got? This is on the Queen channel, and so far, far less than other posts.
Just what the world needs - another feeble-minded 70’s rocker with Trump derangement syndrome, writing “protest songs.”
The Right needs to coin the phrase, “Involuntary Organ Donors.”
Is this the Queen who’s lead vocalist is Adam Lambert? Lol, more like Karaoke Queen.
Roger always struck me as the one who kept trying but ultimately never contributed much to Queen. His career went nowhere after the band broke up.
Freddie Mercury died a long time ago - he was by no means the whole band, but Queen with another lead singer is not Queen. Anyway, Taylor is not even an American and Trump is none of his business - he should stick to writing songs about Kier Starmer.
Brandon doesn't even remember Brandon.
Queen does and has always sucked. He needs to go ride his bicycle and STFU.
A Friggin Limey has a lot of room to talk about American politicians. His country is being run by the ignorant immigrants they allowed in. This guy is an ass.
God didn’t make honky tonk chumps?
A limey moron calling Americans “chumps.”
Sounds Pretti Good to me.
Probably a good idea. Without Mercury, QUEEN DOESN'T EXIST. Clowns.
A shallow man A callow man
Of endless vanity
An empty shell
We drown in your self regard
We drown in your pomposity
A man of truthless vanities
Of counting fantasies
A nothing man
Is Taylor singing about his career after Queen?
“Had to say something”
Yep, Keir and the music industry demand it.
Write a song and we’ll let you stay inside.
Queen died with Freddie.
Roger taylor and Brian May can just shut up and mind their own business. They’re not US citizens.
Anyone who has a body guard can just shut up.
Could he be talking about Starmer or the Muslim mayor of London?
He should just STFU, and do this (”I’m In Love With My Car”):
