Hits like "Radio Ga Ga" or "We Are the Champions" Queen made decades ago to one of the most successful rock bands. Now touring founding members Brian May and Roger Taylor with US singer Adam Lambert through the world. On Thursday, they stopped at the Zurich Hallenstadion.
Heard there was a wide range from the seemingly endless list of achievements of the British band that debuted on the charts 40 years ago. Since then delivered Queen hits like "Another One Bites the Dust", "We Will Rock You" and "Bohemian Rhapsody". Already the first bars of these classics led the fans in Zurich to rapturous applause.
Standing on the stage today with guitarist Brian May (67) and drummer Roger Taylor (65), only 50 percent of the original lineup. Bassist John Deacon pulled back in the late 1990s from the limelight. The unforgettable frontman Freddie Mercury died in 1991 at the age of 45 years too early. At the concert, the fans got to see him and hear from years past but in short video clips.
To enter into Mercury's footsteps, is an extremely difficult task for the new Queen singer Adam Lambert. The 33-year-old knows that too, but he masters the challenge of charm and talent.
Lambert has a great voice, he knows how to move on stage and to win over the audience. Not for nothing he reached years ago took second place in the US talent show "American Idol" and celebrated as a solo artist in his home some success.
Visibly moved, viewed May showed on Thursday by the favorable reactions of the audience, as he said, "crazy Zurich". He thanked the fans for their loyalty and greeted them not only in English but also in German, French and Italian.
Of course, missing the irreplaceable Mercury and it takes on the show initially a little time to get used to this new version of Queen. But who gets involved it can enjoy the timeless Queen songs to the fullest and indulge with a healthy dose of nostalgia memories.
