The three amigos really went all out for the press conference. Adam looks years younger with less beard and funky hair, and great outfit coloring. Roger looks very very dashing. Brian's departure from the oversize, boxy look is such a nice surprise. Usually Adam stands out. Today all three look like STARS! They all look really sharp (even though Roger seems a bit tired. Can't blame him). Adam... he's killing it from head to toe!! I think the shaved sides will grow in a bit more in no time.

Queen to hit Seoul stage re-creating Bohemian sensation British rock legends to perform hit songs with vocalist Adam LambertLegendary British rock band Queen’s guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and their vocalist of a decade hailing from the US, Adam Lambert, have returned to Korea perform at this year’s Hyundai Card Super Concert.“I think this time, our visit to Korea may be on another level, after the fantastic success of the ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ movie on our career and Freddie,” Taylor said at a press conference Thursday at the Conrad Seoul Hotel. The band last performed in Seoul five years ago.
The Queen biopic enjoyed huge popularity here upon its release in October 2018, running for more than two months in theaters and selling nearly 10 million tickets. Some theaters turned into impromptu venues themselves, with theatergoers singing along and dancing to the musical flick.
“The news has got to us that it was a huge success, and this is wonderful,” May said during the conference, adding, “It has definitely brought us some new generation here. We’ve witnessed that at the airport.”
Hundreds of fans, many of them too young to have been born when the band was at its peak in the 1970s and ‘80s, greeted the trio with screams and cheers at Incheon Airport the previous day.
Lambert joined May and Taylor in 2009 after the duo recognized the talent of the vocalist from “American Idol.”
“This is something we’ve been working on for a while,” said Lambert, expressing excitement at his second visit to Seoul. “It’s good to be back and we’re ready for a great show.”
The band is in Seoul as part of the Rhapsody Tour, which kicked off July last year in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Countering concerns from fans who had worried about the absence of the singular frontman Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991, and his replacement by Lambert, the three seemed tightly connected and comfortable in each other’s presence.
“The nice thing (for now) is that we are being creative, we’re still playing, we’re still evolving things. So it’s not like we’re a dead animal. It’s still very much alive and we’re still evolving with Adam, because Adam brings new interpretations (to our songs),” May said.
Lambert also stressed he does not intend to replace Mercury and is not trying to fill in his shoes, but is just featuring for the legendary band that he also admires.

Probably just me....but they are welcoming Queen and Adam Lambert, have Adam right there as frontman - but playing Freddie! Plenty of Adam sings Queen recordings around...pretty ‘unimaginative’ as Roger might say.
