8.24.14 Queen + Adam arrive in Sydney, Ice Bucket Dilemma

4 days off! Why shave!  My men don't shave when they're off. 

So, did Dr May essentially say, "Freddie was no Adam Lambert?!"   

Pretty close to. What Adam does onstage even Freddie would find hard to do. And Brian finds hard to believe what he is hearing. Also, Freddie would be jealous of Adam. I don't think Brian was referring to the shoes or the outfits. An amazing endorsement, actually.

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

Performing on 22nd August 2014 @ Perth Arena

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. He’s got the head tosses, the hip thrusts, the model’s stalk and the outfits – and does he ever have the voice. It’s impossible to try to compare anybody to the great – the greatest, even – Mercury, but if anybody can, Lambert is the man.
