Spoiler Alert: Does Adam Lambert Live Up To Freddie Mercury’s Legacy?

It’s been a massive 29 years since Queen last hit the shores of Australia, and despite sadly missing the group’s arguably most well known member, with guest frontman Adam Lambert, they are as big a rock force as ever.
With anticipation at fever pitch, Queen opened the night, and the first leg of their Australian tour, with 1974 smash hit ‘Now I’m Here’. The backdrop of the stage an enormous Q, Adam Lambert sporting a fabulous golden microphone, and the rest of the band going full speed from note one.
They are a testament to artists who don’t rest on their laurels: they’re not ageing superstars out for another buck, they’re doing it for the love of the art and for the memory of their late friend.
Ever since the passing of Freddie Mercury, the band have never sought to replace him, only to pay tribute to him, and Lambert immediately blew the crowd away with his homage........read more on Tone deaf

And it was always going to be a spectacle. Queen virtually invented stadium rock and this production was nothing short of an extravaganza........read more on The West Australian

Can you ever replace the late, great Freddie Mercury? I don't think so, but Adam Lambert on lead vocals brought a fresh and rocking perspective to Queen's extensive back catalogue at their Perth concert on Friday night.
The crowd was dotted with Mercury impersonators - regular people who hammed it up before the show started to rapturous applause from those around them.
The opening bass thumps of Procession an instrumental track from Queen II signalled the band's arrival, confirmed by a clever choice of song in Now I'm Here.
Dressed in black leather and baring more than just a passing resemblance to George Michael, Lambert sang Stone Cold Crazy down his gold microphone............read more on W A Today
Queen and Adam Lambert at Perth Arena
Quote :
QUEEN and Adam Lambert kicked off their Australian tour with a sensational sold-out show at Perth Arena last night.
Original guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and Lambert opened the first tour of the country by the legendary British rock band since 1985 with Now I’m Here — the start of a two-hour, hit-filled extravaganza.
Dressed head-to-toe in leather, gold and studs, Lambert confidently danced his way through Stone Cold Crazy, Another One Bites The Dust and Fat Bottomed Girls, while May made use of his guitar-cam, showing off his fast finger work and giving the audience a unique perspective on Taylor’s drumming. .........read more onPerth Now
