Long before Adam Lambert sang his first Queen song on the American Idol stage, we knew he was one of a very few who can actually sing Freddie Mercury. It’s not just about hitting the notes, although that does require being from out-of-space or at least having alien DNA. It’s about the feeling—what the vocalist feels and how they make us feel. Freddie Mercury’s voice is the sound of altitude; aware of the possibility of a crash but knowing that even if you go supernova you’ll never really come down. There’s a certain sense of flying headlong into truth when you listen to Queen, and Adam Lambert has all the right stuff to be our pilot on the current leg of our Queen adventure—within his voice is a similar velocity toward a truth that comes at the end of the most fantastical fever dream.
Are you ready? Board and buckle up, because Queen + Adam Lambert have announced a 25-City Arena Tour that kicks off on June 23 in Phoenix.
“…and you’re rushing headlong, out of control…but there ain’t no stopping, and there’s nothin’ you can do about it…”
