The upcoming tour's genesis began in earnest at last year's iHeartRadio festival, when the group received critical acclaim for their hit-heavy set. "He does bring his own approach and he has this amazing range, a gymnastic, beautiful tone and he really fits our material so well," Taylor told Rolling Stone of Lambert at the festival. "He has all the elements – he has the passion, he has the humor, a little bit of camp. And when the shots are down, he has the power. It’s incredible," May added.

"For us, Madison Square Garden and the Forum in L.A., that's magical nostalgia in a sense for us, but much more than nostalgia, because that's what we do, and that's when we were at our peak and I think we can be at a new peak with Adam," May explains. "For Adam, he hasn't done these things but he's played with us, he knows us and he's the man. He's the guy to pull this off. He's incredible."
Both May and Taylor feel that there is no question that Mercury would have heartily approved of the job that Lambert does fronting the band.
"It goes without saying, really," notes May. "Freddie admired quality and talent and I know Freddie would gasp at some of the stuff that Adam takes on."

BRIAN MAY SAYS QUEEN MAY "GET A LITTLE ADVENTUROUS"
WITH SET LIST ON TOUR WITH ADAM LAMBERT
101.7 THE BONE 7 March 2014 Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor revealed to the world on Thursday that the band will be teaming up with ex-American Idol finalist Adam Lambert for a North American summer tour that likely will be the group's final trek. Queen and Lambert have joined forces on several occasions over the last few years, including a brief European tour in 2012, but this will be the first time they'll be mounting a multiple-date run in America. May says that, in addition to playing Queen's classic songs, he, Taylor and Lambert may dig a little deeper into the band's catalog during the tour, which gets under way June 19 in Chicago. "I think we'd like to get a little adventurous," he tells ABC News Radio. "I think we'll have quite a long rehearsal period to try things out. Yeah, we're up for anything…We'll all bring our ideas to the table and we'll try stuff out and…who knows?" May adds that collaborating with a singer who's as talented as Adam inspires him to be more creative and inventive on stage. "You just get that extra little kick, which makes you take more chances and be more dangerous," Brian declares, "and go for it."
As for Taylor, he says Lambert ranks "right up there" among the best vocalists Queen's members have ever played with, which, of course, includes the band's legendary late frontman, Freddie Mercury. "Freddie will never die for us, obviously, in our minds, but [Adam is] just so good with our material," Roger tells ABC News Radio. "He's just one of the great singers, so…I think it's a really great marriage." May, meanwhile, notes that that "marriage" is something fans of both Queen and Lambert are clamoring for. "I see 'em already on Twitter, y'know. It kind of makes me laugh…it's like, 'We need QueenBert!'" jokes Brian. "You know, from Argentina, from Tierra del Fuego, from Beijing, I dunno. The whole world wants us to be together, I think, which is great!" Queen + Adam Lambert's North American tour features a total of 19 dates, and is scheduled to run through a July 20 show in Washington, D.C. Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, March 14, via the Live Nation mobile app and at LiveNation.com. American Express Card Members get early access beginning this Monday in the U.S., and Tuesday in Canada. © brianmay.com (Join us on Twitter and Facebook) brianmay.com/queen/queennews/queennewsmar14a.html#19

Get to know "The Fault in Our Stars" heartthrob Ansel Elgort, and hear his answers to our rapid-fire speed date questions. screen.yahoo.com/the-yahoo-movie-show/speed-date-ansel-elgort-170255537.htmlQuestion was what reality show was he watching? Paraphrashing here ....."I only watched American Idol one season .... when Adam Lambert was on. Adam Lambert is the best singer I've ever heard in my whole life... he's the best singer in the world, ever... it's a fact, it's not an opinion thing, it's a fact....so I voted for Adam Lambert like everyday"   |

But Adam is really, like us, he has many, many colours, so we can explore some of those strange excursions that Queen likes to.”

Behind the scenes on set with @adamlambert last Saturday for the #ATTLiveProud hangout. It's refreshing to work with an artist who has the same sparkling personality even when the cameras are off.
