Excerpts from the article:
"The corona virus pandemic has shut down live public performances indefinitely for musicians who depend on touring for their livelihoods (as well as their road crews, plus venue employees and other ancillary workers). But that hasn't stopped a number of veteran rock acts from putting out new product. In the case of the Eagles, Queen and former Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason, they've recently released new live albums that should satisfy demand from fans going through withdrawal from not being able to seeing an actual show for seven months now."

           "Since teaming up in 2011, Queen + Adam Lambert have been playing shows in different parts of the world and making high-profile media appearances, including the Oscars ceremony in 2019. The pairing made sense: Lambert's flamboyant and dramatic singing – which hearkens back to Queen’s late and beloved lead singer Freddie Mercury—matches perfectly with the British theatrical rock of the band, now spearheaded by founding guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor."

Great to see this written up in Forbes. It's significant info outside the show-biz media. Really appreciated the mention of QAL on the Oscars, too. And of course, that little side hint of "original material" someday. I'm not holding my breath, but it's nice to see the possibility mentioned.

Nice to see you, glitzy!
