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.”

I’ve been saying for a loooong time that Lambert was the guy to replace Freddie. George Michael did a great job back then, but I don’t think it would’ve been great in the long run. Adam is a bit like Freddie and yet his own, he is a bit like Freddie in that gayish kinda way, and can sing like not many can. I think it’s the right choice….
“gayish” = Flamboyant (just couldn’t remember the word) 🙂
Michael probably wanted equal share and passed, Lambert, equally a fine singer took the offer. Pearcy is getting way less than the 2 who own the name Ratt and is about to be canned in the greed move. $ dictates bands. Mercury would have loved Lambert as the singer, hope they add a Fall swing and stop the dinky The Joint Vegas stuff, they coulda sold out the MGM.
Which two own the RATT name? DeMartini and Blotzer? Or is Crocier in there somehow?
