Queen + Adam Lambert Touring Australia

I’m completely in awe of the Queen phenomenon,” said Lambert, who teamed up with Brian May and Roger Taylor for a brief run of shows in Europe in 2012 and an appearance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival last fall.

The “American Idol” runner-up added, “The thought of sharing the stage for a full set in Australia is so beautifully surreal. I’m honored to be able to pay my respects to Freddie’s memory; he’s a personal hero of mine, and I am deeply grateful for the chance to sing such powerful music for fans of this legendary band. I know this tour will be a huge milestone for me, and with the support of Brian, Roger and the rest of the band, I feel like magic will be on display.”

Queen + Adam Lambert hit the road for the once in a lifetime U.S./Canada tour June 19 in Chicago. The last stop is July 28 in Toronto.
