It was an extremely successful show in which Queen’s founding member performed a series of ‘intimate’ shows

Taylor’s The Outsider Tour Live is going to feature 22 tracks that were performed across his 14-date 2021 live tour.

His lead single, “surrender” in which he sheds light on the subject of domestic abuse, will predate the album with a digital release on September 8th.

Roger Taylor describes this album as "slightly nostalgic and wistful",

These songs are a set of Queen classics and a glorious revisiting of Taylor’s six-album strong solo catalog.

Taylor also admitted that he wrote and recorded this album in COVID lockdown
