As Bad Company get set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame next month, lead singer Paul Rodgers has been discussing his plans for the event and reflecting on his time fronting another even bigger band: Queen.

Rodgers was talking to Rolling Stone: “I’m going to be there for sure, yeah. And I believe Simon (Kirke, drummer) is, too,” he said. When asked if they were going to perform, he replied: “Well, they want us to, and I may. I haven’t decided what songs to sing at this point in time. But it could be Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy.”
