Adam Lambert 24/7 News

A long interview... would love to know what it says. Could we have a translation, please, someone?

uhhhhhhhh....not quite sure if I like Adam's face replacing Freddie's in a photo of the old gang. I would also like to know what the interview says.

I don't like the idea of ADAM's pic replacing Freddie's ... it's only going to add fuel to the fire for the QUEEN purist fans just when it seems like ADAM is finally getting some favorable comments from them on Ytube!

I also don't like the exclusion of Freddie - don't think Adam would approve either.

I thought that too -- replacing Adam's picture for Freddie's in that early Queen photo is VERY
presumptuous...even sacriligious! I'm sure Brian, Roger and Adam will all be upset.. possibly angry...by it.

I worry that the long article may compound the offense -- however well-intentioned it may be! All the more reason for us to see a translation.

Too bad, what's done is done. The best of intentions were overthrown by ignorance!

Ditto to all the above comments.

Also ... Freddie's hands or Adam's??

Think it is important to not jump to judgement and add drama to this. Everyone knows that celebrities have little or no control over media, and QAL is not responsible for the content of news outlets in the countries they tour in.

The Queen purists will jump all over anything, if not this it will always be something else. Just avoid certain internet comments sections as you would anything else that is toxic. When all is said and done, comments by purists and Adam detractors have no impact on the professional or personal lives of Brian, Roger and Adam, not by one iota. Brian and Roger are probably more concerned with future EU issues than a photo-shopped pic they had nothing to do with. In the grand scheme of world problems and tragedies, may that pic be the worst thing that one has ever experienced in their lives.

I have to agree with @Anonymous8. It's a photoshopped image, done for the article. There is another photo with the original Queen configuration of the band, including Freddie, in the article, so Freddie is not ignored or forgotten. It's one newspaper article. To be honest, if you've been around the fandom long enough, you've seen this altered image, or similar ones, before.. Nothing really new. The focus of the article is Queen + (and) Adam Lambert so the revised image does make a certain amount of sense in this case, again IMHO. It doesn't dismiss or diminish Freddie Mercury. There will certainly be those who won't like it but that's been the case since the first time Adam performed with Queen, back in Belfast at the European Music Awards, and continuing on until today..

I'm more interested in what the article says, to be honest.. We'll work to get a translation (I'm personally on an out of town family trip/vacay so have had limited time to contribute to the blog here, but will do so when time (and access to my computer) permits! @Admin Fan is doing her amazing job as usual keeping us up with all the latest Adam Lambert news.

By the way, I do know that Adam actually first performed with Queen back on the American Idol finale in May 2009, but his first official performance was in 2011.. So thankful for the men of Queen for their support and belief in Adam!
