From Team Rock:
"MAY THOUGHT QUEEN ARENA SHOWS WERE BEHIND THEM"
EXCERPTS:
"Brian believes UK gigs with Adam Lambert are gift from God - and says they wouldn’t have happened if singer had been “a shit”
"Brian May thinks it’s incredible that Queen are about to play an arena tour of the UK so many years after the death of Freddie Mercury."
"And he says there’s no way he and Roger Taylor would have started working with singer Adam Lambert if he’d been “a shit” of a person."
"The lineup was named Band Of The Year at the Classic Rock Roll Of Honour in Los Angeles this week."
"Speaking at the gala event, May told Nicky Horne of the Classic Rock Magazine Show: “I would go to shows and think, ‘Well we used to do that – we used to play in arenas and whatever, but that’s never going to happen again.' I didn’t feel it in a terribly sad way. I just thought, ‘We did that, and now we do something different.’"
"“Suddenly we’re in the same arena again, if I can use the metaphor. How incredible that we can still do that and people still want to come and fill those arenas, and we can still rock the hell out of them. It’s very uplifting.”"
"The remaining members of Queen weren’t looking for a singer when Lambert came into their lives, May says. “We just thought, ‘My God, this guy can do it.’ The final piece of the puzzle is that he’s a nice guy. If he was a shit it wouldn’t be fun and it wouldn’t have happened."
"“He’s a good guy; he’s fun, he’s entertaining, he’s open to ideas and he brings lots of ideas in. When we were putting this setlist together he didn’t just go, ‘I’ll do what you want’ – he said, ‘Look, how about we try this?’ So we had a proper birth process for the material of this tour."

Adam really has it all. Everyone who meets him says what a nice person he is. I also do not think fame will go to his head he seems very grounded. Also he keeps his old friends around but is expanding his network of friends.
I am so glad that Brian said Adam was not a "shit" person. I guess another person who might have been picked to sing with Queen, would have gone by the wayside, no matter what kind of voice they had. Adam is their gift from God, and they truly love him and his personality. His voice helps a little bit too, LOL I love that Brian said that having Adam around, takes the sting out of being called grand dad. Adam had made both men feel young again, that is something no amount of money could buy.
These guys lost Freddie in such a tragic manner. I'm thinking that Adam is their gift from God. Queen were all so close and now Roger and Brian can do what they love again, on the same grand scale.
It's just great to read through a post like this when you start the day :) I truly believe that Adam has it all and luckily Brian and Roger saw that and are not too proud to admit it. Yes, Adam IS a gift and he is anything but a "shit" person lol.
The article does not have the words "gift from God"... Why the twisted headline?
