The beautiful beast.
Queen + Adam Lambert to appear on XFactor UK
11.3.14 by Q3
Adam will be reunited with Simon Cowell!
It all started with these Tweets from James Ingham of the Daily Star:
JAMES INGHAM @jamesinrehab
for @adamlambert fans I can reveal he is set to perform on this year's @thexfactor along w Queen! #xfactor #adamlambert
JAMES INGHAM @jamesinrehab
X FACTOR EXCL: Adam Lambert & Queen, Olly Murs, One Direction, Sam Bailey, Take That, Ella Henderson, Rihanna & Sam Smith all set to perform
UPDATE:
JAMES INGHAM @jamesinrehab
For Adam Lambert or Rihanna fans asking. I don't know dates. They are down ATM on the list of performers though that could change.

Details are unknown but it seems likely that they will be on the Finale or the November 9th results show since Queen Forever is releasing on November 10th. At the least, the XFactor Queen vs. MJ theme is clearly a mega-promo for the new Queen album,
Yesterday, the theme for the XFactor UK November 8 and 9 shows was changed from disco to Queen versus Michael Jackson. And since that show is right before the Queen Forever release, seems like a good bet they will be at least a promotion of QF on the November 9, 2014 results show.
It’s just too much a of coincidence – Queen Forever featuring a track with vocals by Freddie and MJ releases the same week and XFactor UK changes the theme to Queen vs. MJ.
Two possible scenarios make sense to me:
1. Q+AL appears on the Queen vs. MJ episodes and perform on November 9th.
UPDATE: Q+AL will not be appearing on November 8 or 9 -- www.brianmay.com/queen/queennews/queennewsnov14a.html#07
2. Queen Forever is promoted on the November 8 and 9 shows and Roger and/or Brian make an appearance. Q+AL performs on the finale.
The other big question is what will Simon say to Adam, “I knew you would be a worldwide star”? Ha ha ha! The mind reels with possibilities.
Here are some of the XFactor UK tweets:

Coca-Cola and (RED) have teamed up to Share the Sound of an AIDS-Free Generation
Coca-Cola Invites The World To “Share The Sound Of An AIDS Free Generation” And Support (RED)
Nov 3, 2014
Campaign Features a Special Collaboration with Wyclef Jean & Avicii, New Music from Aloe Blacc, Exclusive Remix from OneRepublic, and a Previously Unreleased Song from Queen Featuring Freddie Mercury
Donate to Win Special Experiences including Backstage with Bono, Join Avicii On Stage, See Queen + Adam Lambert On Tour, Spend the Day with OneRepublic & more through www.omaze.com/CokeRED
ATLANTA, Nov. 3, 2014 — The Coca-Cola Company, in partnership with (RED), invites people from all over the world to join efforts to help end mother-to-child transmission of HIV with the launch of a new campaign, titled “SHARE THE SOUND OF AN AIDS FREE GENERATION”. The campaign will feature an array of top artists as they debut new music, and offer exclusive experiences encouraging people to come together, to share, and most importantly—to give. Funds raised from the campaign will go to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to finance grants which provide HIV prevention, testing, counseling, treatment, and care services.
The month-long global program which runs through World AIDS Day on December 1st, 2014, shares a message of hope and unity to empower today’s youth to understand they can be the generation to end the AIDS pandemic. 650 babies are born every day with HIV, yet life-saving medication exists and costs as little as $.40 a day. That same medication can reduce the risk of an HIV-positive woman passing on the virus to her baby by 95%. In 2013, for the first time since the discovery of the virus, more people were newly added to treatment than were newly infected with HIV, a critical milestone marking the beginning of the end of AIDS.
“One of the primary goals behind the movement of this campaign is to use the power of music to rally millennials in realizing that an AIDS Free generation is within reach,” said Emmanuel Seuge, Vice President, Global Alliances & Ventures, The Coca-Cola Company. “We are grateful to all of the artists who are joining us in this remarkable effort.”
New Music
The campaign kicks off with the debut of Queen’s “Let Me in Your Heart Again,” a previously unreleased song, mixed by William Orbit exclusively for the (Coca-Cola) RED campaign. The song features the iconic vocals of the late Freddie Mercury, who passed from AIDS in 1991. Each week, a new artist will unveil an original song which will be available to download on iTunes with proceeds benefitting the Global Fund at www.iTunes.com/REDSound. The tracks include:
“Let Me in Your Heart Again” (William Orbit Mix) by Queen featuring Freddie Mercury (Week of November 3)
“Together” by Aloe Blacc (Week of November 10)
“Divine Sorrow” by Wyclef Jean featuring Avicii (Week of November 17)
“I Lived (RED) Remix” by OneRepublic (Week of November 24)
“It’s been 23 years since the world lost our beloved Freddie Mercury,” said Queen guitarist Brian May. “We’ve made extraordinary progress in the fight against AIDS in that time. But we cannot simply rest on the fact that the treatment is available. We must ensure that it is provided. Roger and I are proud to lend this rediscovered song to the ( Coca-Cola) RED campaign, in the hope that Freddie’s powerful voice can inspire the world yet again.”
Unique Experiences
Coca-Cola and (RED) have partnered with OMAZE, a leading fundraising platform that specializes in offering the chance to win once-in-a-lifetime experiences that require fans to make a donation to secure a chance of winning.

The Coca-Cola Company is dedicated to the fight to end HIV/AIDS. Since 2006, The Coca-Cola Company and its foundations have committed over $15 million in the fight to end AIDS through awareness, education and prevention. In 2011, The Coca-Cola Company initially pledged $5 million to the Global Fund through the partnership with (RED) and has recently raised its commitment by an additional $2 million donation directly to the Global Fund. This year, Coca-Cola will leverage the size and scale of the system to rally for the cause, ultimately activating this campaign in over 40 countries worldwide.
"Incredible things have happened in the fight against AIDS, bringing the pandemic to a tipping point. There is much to celebrate, but we must also renew our vow to wrestle this virus to the point it becomes part of our history not our present, said Bono, (RED) co-founder. (RED) partners like Coca-Cola are on (RED) alert this World AIDS Day to keep the pressure up, with the help of longtime AIDS activists Queen, and musicians Avicii, Deadmau5, Wyclef Jean, Aloe Blacc and OneRepublic. Music fans have been a real army in the fight against AIDS, we hope this campaign will swell the ranks.”
