This whole review is worth reading. Here are the Adam bits:theprogressiveaspect.net/blog/2018/07/06/queen-adam-lambert/Concert Review: Queen @queenwillrock + @adamlambert O2 Arena, London Queen + Adam Lambert Article by: Rob Fisher O2 Arena, London Monday, 2nd July 2018 "That we can finally see this is in no small part down to Adam Lambert’s utterly magnificent and intoxicating performance. The times have changed and Lambert is not afraid to openly parade his sexuality in ways which perhaps Freddie never could. Glorious costumes, high heeled boots, a golden spangly cloak and crown, leather skirt and eye-liner are superb adornments to a stage style which enhances the songs being sung in ways which are fresh and illuminating. At one point he rises through the walkway stage, perched on top of a model of the robot’s head, cracking jokes about its location in relation to his arse. Bicycle Race sees him mount a flower adorned pink tricycle and ride it around the stage. And what let’s him pull all of this off with such aplomb is the fact that his singing is absolutely riveting, a towering voice with a greater register than Freddie’s but also packed with huge subtlety and deep reserves of nuance. His range is amply demonstrated with I Want It All, packed with bombastic, anthemic bluster, the heartbreaking Who Wants To Live Forever and the measured defiance of The Show Must Go On. He is, in every way, the perfect complement to and fit with the Queen ensemble. Living with the legacy of Queen and the ever present reminders of Freddie isn’t easy, but Lambert is a superb singer and I think it is a pity he seems almost forced to be (voluntarily) self-effacing at points in the set about his place and role in the band. He’s not Freddie; we all know he’s not Freddie. Nor is he trying to be. But whilst he handles the deferment to his predecessor so graciously, nevertheless he deserves recognition in his own right for what he brings to the possible future of Queen. He is his own man. He brings his own distinctive style, identity and nuances to the songs which is new, vibrant and exciting. Queen need this infusion of life, vitality and novelty if they are to carry on. Lambert fully deserves his rightful place at the front of the stage. ... I am not ashamed to confess that I cried. Thirty years on I finally lived a dream I never thought would happen. It was magical; it was dramatic; it took your breath away. The show does go on: this really is Queen and one day I sincerely hope there will be a confidence on the part of everyone concerned, fans included, not to need the “+ Adam Lambert” as part of the show." I just got watery eyes reading this review. What more can be said about our man?

twitter.com/TheEveningTimes/status/1015637280147607552The Evening Times @theeveningtimes Adam Lambert tells fans he loved sunset performance alongside Queen at TRNSMThttp://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/16340185.adam-lambert-tells-fans-he-loved-sunset-performance-alongside-queen-at-trnsmt/ … Adam Lambert tells fans he loved sunset performance alongside Queen at TRNSMT Adam Lambert has expressed his love for the performance he gave at TRNSMT Festival last night as part of his headline act alongside Queen. The American Idol star who has been touring with the band for six years now, posted a silhouette of himself on stage 'riding his bicycle' during the hit song, with the sun setting in the background. Next to the image he wrote: "Loved our outdoor sunset performance for @trnsmtfest in Glasgow!" Fans commended the American for his iconic style and perfect performance. One said: "The reviews have been spectacular & glowing, for you and the men of Queen & the production. "Congratulations for showing the world yet again that Queen music is glorious & eternal, Brian & Roger are in fine & fabulous form, and you are indeed a "Gift From God"...from the Universe." Another added: "Gorgeous pic Adam it was an amazing atmosphere yesterday you guys put on a spectacular show im still on a high your vocals were amazing and performance where do I start just wow." As reported yesterday by the Evening Times, the supergroup tore up the stage as Lambert showcased his famously impressive vocal range while donning a signature flamboyant outfit that Freddie Mercury would have been proud of. Slipping into the shoes of one of the greatest frontmen in the world is no easy feat but Lambert proved that he is the best man for the job. Hits including Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Under Pressure and Another One Bites The Dust got the Glasgow crowd going after an impressive day of live music.
