Queen + Adam Lambert received glowing reviews for
their performance together at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas last
September, triggering a conversation between Adam, Roger and Brian to take the show on the road. Rolling Stone said, “Lambert astounded the
audience on songs like ‘We Will Rock You’ and the closing ‘We Are The
Champions’ and ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’. It was the most anticipated act of the
night.” Billboard claimed, “…Queen effectively stole the show, with timeless
songs that music fans of all genres can sing along to” and the Hollywood
Reporter exclaimed, “Adam Lambert, Queen bring down the iHeart house. With the perfect mix of rock attitude mixed
with style, theatricality, sex appeal and impressive vocal gymnastics,
[Lambert] took the band’s music to new heights.”
The threesome first shared the stage during American
Idol in May 2009 for a performance of “We Are The Champions”. They teamed up
again in 2011 at the MTV European Music Awards in Belfast, Ireland for an
electrifying eight-minute finale of “The Show Must Go On”, “We Will Rock You”
and “We Are The Champions” and in the summer of 2012, Lambert performed a
series of shows with Queen across Europe as well as dates in Russia, Ukraine
and Poland. They also performed three
sold-out gigs at London’s Hammersmith Apollo.
"Let's ROCK those beautiful arenas JUST ONE MORE
TIME!” said Brian May. “I'm completely in awe of the Queen phenomenon,” added
Lambert. “The thought of sharing the stage for a full set in North America is
so beautifully surreal. I'm honored to be able to pay my respects to Freddie's
memory; he's a personal hero of mine, and I am deeply grateful for the chance
to sing such powerful music for fans of this legendary band. I know this tour
will be a huge milestone for me, and with the support of Brian, Roger and the
rest of the band, I feel like magic will be on display.”
In a career spanning over 40 years Queen has amassed a
staggering list of sales, awards, and hall of fame inductions that is second to
none. Record sales in the hundreds of
millions of units, including an unprecedented string of number one albums and
top-charting singles that continue to put Queen in the top ten of all-time iTunes
sales, seven Ivor Novello Awards, an MTV Global Icon Award, two songs enshrined
in the Grammy Hall of Fame - “We Will
Rock You” and “We Are the Champions” – which also remain the most played songs
at sports events and arenas around the world, and, as if to qualify all of
hyperbole, just last month Queen received the accolade of becoming the first
artist ever to sell over six million copies of an album in the UK - beating out
even the Beatles' Sgt Pepper by close to a million copies - with their Greatest
Hits album, which also achieved the record of over 1,422 weeks on the British
album chart. The statistics show a
staggering one in three British households now own a copy of the iconic act’s
original Greatest Hits collection. Even
with the tragic loss of their uniquely talented singer Freddie Mercury, Queen
remain one of the most revered bands in rock and pop history, able to claim one
of the most enduring song catalogues of all time. Just think: “Bohemian
Rhapsody”, “Another One Bites the Dust”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”,
“Radio Ga Ga”, “Killer Queen”, “Fat Bottomed Girls”, “Bicycle Race”, songs that
form the backdrop to the lives of generations of fans across all ages. With
their sterling song craft, virtuoso musicality,
and colossal spectacle of their live performances, Queen – Brian May,
Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor and John Deacon - captured hearts and conquered
charts like no other band in history, a legacy that continues to live through
the ongoing work and concert performances by May and Taylor. Their musical We
Will Rock You, co-created with writer Ben Elton, is approaching its 12th year
on stage in London’s West End and is currently touring North America.
Adam Lambert’s stunning performances on the eighth
season of American Idol are still widely regarded as some of the most riveting
moments in the show’s history. His debut album For Your Entertainment earned
him a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. His second
album, Trespassing, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. The subsequent
tour took Lambert from Australia to South Africa, throughout Asia and Eastern
Europe and culminated in a sold-out arena show in Helsinki, Finland. In 2013,
Lambert appeared as a guest star on the hit TV series, GLEE. He is currently
writing and recording for his third album, which will be released this year.
