Adam Lambert reunited with rock legends Queen in Kiev, Ukraine last night (June 30).The show, a benefit for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, was one of six that Lambert performed with the classic British outfit this summer. John was also on the bill for the big night.
Lambert was beyond excited for the gig, telling ABC News (via Classic Hits and Oldies), “For me, personally, I think I’m gonna look back on this in years to come and kind of think, ‘Wow, what a treat. What an honor to be able to be asked to sing with legends.’ Their music is iconic and Freddie Mercury, for me, is obviously one the the very great performers in history and a definite idol for me.”
Despite being thrilled, it doesn’t mean the ‘American Idol‘ alum wasn’t totally nervous, either, especially since most Queen songs feature complicated and intricate vocal arrangements that require a wide range. Freddie Mercury has some big shoes and Lambert wasn’t necessarily trying to fill them! “There are a few [songs] that are daunting, let me tell ya!” Lambert said. “And then there’s some that I’ve sung many times before, so I’m excited for the challenge.”
Lambert, who previously performed with Queen at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2o11, was stoked in general to “get up there and to pay homage” to Mercury and to “pay respect to his memory as a performer.” Based on the video below, we think he did a fantastic job!

I just watched most of the concert via another video but didn't have encore. I must say I've never in my life seen such talent as I have with Adam and Queen together. Adam's vocals were incredible and enjoyed seeing the audience into each and every performance. Brian and Roger still have great voices their sound is so unique and no other band in the world can top them. Can't wait to travel to London in a week to see this show live twice. What an incredible experience it will be.
ReplyDeleteI want to add one more comment. It took great courage for Adam Lambert to tackle this incredible feat. It's just amazing how well suited he is for a front man for Queen he fits perfect but as he has said he has to concentrate on his own music while he still can. I hope Queen and Adam continue to do concerts over the next few years as it's such a treat to see them together.
ReplyDeleteAdam was born to sing with Queen whether he knows it or not, and hopefully there will be more gigs in the years to come. It's as if Freddy's sent us a rainbow....and a babe!.....to make up for all these years of famine
ReplyDeleteWhat a SPECTACULAR show! I have to admit it's been many a year since I've really listened to classic rock, but Adam has renewed my love for Queen, and Zeppelin. I'm feeling extremely privileged to be attending the Hammersmith shows this week. \o/
