Queen + Adam Lambert - The Rhapsody Tour

It’s difficult to think of another group that so thoroughly embraced the showmanship, bombast, excess and underlying camp of rock music as Queen. Under the stewardship of the utterly unique and preternaturally gifted singer Freddie Mercury, the quartet released some of the most enduring, omnipresent singles of the 70s and 80s and combined elements of rock, pop, opera, prog and metal into a concoction that remains truly inimitable to this day.

Brian May and Roger Taylor continued making music separately following Mercury’s death, while John Deacon stepped away from music completely. May and Taylor came back together in 2005 with ex-Free and Bad Company frontman Paul Rogers as Queen + Paul Rogers. The trio released one album in 2008 before Rogers departed in 2009.

Following Brian May and Roger Taylor's appearance with Adam Lambert on the final of American Idol in 2009, Queen + Adam Lambert became a long-term proposition, touring extensively with their new frontman. They re-recorded some classic songs for the biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, which won Rami Malek an Oscar for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury.
