Brian May In Rhapsodies Over Queen's NZ Return With Adam Lambert
By Russell Baillie 12:06 AM Thursday Jul 17, 2014
EXCERPTS:
"Queen, one of the biggest-selling, best-loved and most enduring bands in rock history is heading to Auckland for the first time in nearly 30 years."
"Yes, you read that correctly."
"Despite the death of the band's flamboyant frontman Freddie Mercury in 1991, Queen is playing Vector Area on Wednesday, September 3 - with American Idol star Adam Lambert on vocals."
"Lambert first performed with original Queen members guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor in 2009, on the television singing competition that launched his solo career. The band and Lambert have since toured together, first in Europe in 2012 and in the United States and Canada in recent months, where they have been winning rave reviews from critics."
"Speaking to Timeout from Toronto this week, May said he was heartened by the social media reaction to Lambert's stage performance from diehard Queen fans who might be sceptical about the combo. "The fit is incredibly good and, from the point of view of Queen fans, Adam is just 100 per cent better than anyone realised. "Adam has got a voice in a billion and his range is stupendous and he has now learned, as Freddie did, to bring it into harness - he's not a boy anymore and his interpretation of songs is breathtaking." "

Livenation take QAL tour all over the world. It's a total win/win/win. Queen will perform one last time everywhere. Great exposure for Adam. People I'll enjoy Queen music one last time live on stage. Reviews have been 80% good.
Nine more QAL concerts in North America then is recorded as part of Queen's history forever. Catch it while you can.
I caught while I could and enjoyed every minute of it.
I'm sure NZ fans are thrilled to know they'll be coming. Hope the confirmation comes soon. My hunch is that they'll do some European dates, too. Hope so! They're having the time of their lives!

@adamlambert: Auckland! We will Rock ya on September 3rd! http://t.co/Ai6X4Kn17D
No more Queenbert. Time for Adam's new music.
I am very conflicted about the expanding tour. While I am happy for Adam and the fans who get to see Queen, I am so ready for Adam's music and tour. I hope New Zealand is the last stop.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO....
Mamma Mia, they HAVE TO come to Europe to end the Tour!!! London would be perfect, but where ever in Europe will do nicely, thank you!

There's a lot of entitlement in Glambert fandom. :-(
