Queen’s Brian May comes to Adam Lambert’s defense: ‘He’s not an imitator!

As Queen prepares to perform 25
shows in 10 countries across the UK and Europe in early 2015, Brian May
continues to frame Adam Lambert’s contributions as a stand in for the late
Freddie Mercury.
“Adam is beautifully confident,” May
tells Nik Carter, “but he’s never arrogant. He’s always
respectful. He’s always looking for the right way to do things. He brings
himself to it, that’s all I can say. He’s not an imitator. He doesn’t need to
pretend to be Freddie, in any sense whatsoever.”
Lambert first performed with May and
Roger Taylor, the remaining members of Queen, in 2009 as part of the finale for
American Idol. They regrouped for a short tour in 2012, then began a lengthier run through the
U.S. and into Asia after performing at the iHeart Radio Festival
in September 2013.
By the time Queen takes the stage
for the 2015 concerts, the group’s association with Lambert will have outlasted
his predecessor Paul Rodgers —
who took over for Mercury between 2004-09. Founding bassist John Deacon has retired. Mercury died
in 1991 from complications related a battle with AIDS.
“I don’t know if it’s a marriage,”
May adds, “but it’s a very good affair.”

Mmm Brian May is talking about a very good affair...well well well, more like a very good marriage, I'd say. lwl! WWTLF stands for the ring. lol! This version of WWTLF is extremely passionate but there is yet another; the I-Heart concert, where he went even higher than the last note. I was waiting for that a little because once you've heard that, one tends to expect it but err on the side of caution for Adam's voice's safety.
The title of this post is rather over dramatic for what the article actually says.
That's the headline of the article... just trying to get hits, so stupid of them and lacking imagination. Luckily we fans no better.
10:39, why can't admin fan use a better title for the post?
Okay, 1 suitable title coming up:
'Lambert outlasts all other Queen Frontmen after Freddie'...lol!
Actually, I didn't know Adam has been with Queen for the longest time, compared with other frontmen...by the next Queen tour 2015, stated in the write-up.
Performance attached to this post:
*Stunning*...*stunning*...*stunning*...
In every way! MSG had some of the finest US QAL moments (though not limited to MSG by any means!)
