Queen With Adam Lambert in Calgary
All hail rock royalty — Queen’s legacy kept alive and well

Look, whether you buy into anyone other than the incomparable Freddie Mercury fronting Queen or not, the opportunity to hear and see an even reasonable facsimile of one of the greatest rock bands in music history is one worth taking.
Neither Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers in the 2000s, or certainly Adam Lambert now could ever ascend to the loftiest of heights, and to each’s credit … neither have tried. This current North American tour isn’t so much a tribute to Mercury but rather an attempt at keeping the music and the legacy of Queen alive in a live setting.
Being handsome, flamboyant, gay and possessing a big voice is simply not enough to be on the same level of Mercury’s star power, but Lambert is certainly good enough that he has to be taken seriously in his current role. He has the charisma, attitude and semi-operatic vocal chops to not only stand onstage and play with Brian May and Roger Taylor … but to front the band........read more on The Calgary Sun
Why Adam Lambert Is The Perfect Man For Queen - Stephen Graves wrote:
- What's with all the hostility? Queen and Adam Lambert are made for each other
Queen are back on the road, with American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert stepping into Freddie Mercury’s stiletto heels to belt out the band’s hits. See them in concert – I have – and it’s clear that Lambert belongs with Queen. He’s got an astonishing voice, he inhabits the band’s material while putting his own spin on it, and he has great chemistry with Brian May and Roger Taylor on stage. So why are some fans fuming?
Thou Shalt Not Worship False Idols
Go on Facebook or the Queen forums, and you’re greeted with a torrent of abuse. Lambert’s a manufactured pop performer, they say, riding the coat tails of an iconic rock band to success – and desecrating the memory of Freddie Mercury in the process.
