7.11.12 Queen+Adam Lambert Live! in London

Just one more thing and then I'm dropping it, but I googled around and learned that Neil McCormick (who did quite a nice interview with Brian last year -- weird that he would diss him now), started out trying to become a rock star himself. There is a movie called "Killing Bono" that is based on his early life. Found this quote from Ben Barnes, the actor who played him:

Well, I find it ironic that he’s become quite well known in England for reviewing other people’s music, when his was so dire. But, yeah, it is ironic. The film is about failure, but it’s also about how sometimes success comes to you in ways that you might not expect. Even though he’s a journalist, he still thinks he’s a rock star, but he clearly is not. He writes for a very well-respected newspaper now. He works in an arena that he’s very passionate about and very comfortable in, which is music. He started off working at Hot Press, as a journalist. He never wanted to quite admit that that was his calling in life, but it clearly was. How many people get to write a book about themselves, and then have that book turned into a feature film? Not very many. Certainly, very few people who are not well known, get to have that happen. I think he does revel in it now. He was at all the premieres. Ivan and Neil were up on the stage, singing and dancing, when we had the band play at the Irish premiere.

Apparently he still thinks he can do better! Anyway, thanks everyone for bringing over the tweets. I'm at work and couldn't watch the live stream but can't wait for vids later!

There are no words to describe how incredible that was. And Freddie was here, in every way that counts. :’) #queen

Can’t wait to see Brian May and Roger Taylor on stage, to my shame I didn’t know John Deacon had retired.

Adam WON that crowd. The crowd of Queen fans more less! And his signature was written all over that show. They gave him standing ovations on songs that showed off HIS greatness. He shared the stage with the best of the best and made a huge impression. The song "we are the champions" has never been my favorite but the words are so perfect for Adam. Regardless of what some idiots my write/say about him or whether he hits stardom on American radio, he is and will always be a champion!
