Queen has been out touring this year with Adam Lambert and folks have been really happy to get a chance to see the band in arenas again here in the U.S. What was it like for you, going back out on an extended tour?
It was about four months, because we went to Asia and Australia as well. I have to say, it was just great. You know, we got on so well with Adam. He fitted in so well with us and he brought so much to the show. [He’s a] great frontman and he looked great and he sings beautifully, and his style is very suited to our music. You know, it’s pretty theatrical music, some of our stuff. He’s the greatest. So, we really had a ball and I think it came over in the shows. They were very well attended and the reception that we got in every city was great. So, it was a really great experience and I’m thrilled. We’re going to go on and do Europe in January and February. It’s all good.
After the European run that you mentioned, what sort of thoughts have you all had? Do you want to record with Adam?
I think it would be great to do something, yeah. Not an album, probably. He’s got his own stuff to do, and that’s very much a priority for him. I think it would be very interesting, because his voice is so extraordinary and I think we could really do something great with it. I see no end to the possibility and the potential of Adam Lambert. He’s a fabulous performer, and I think it would be very interesting to do something with him.

Queen + Adam Lambert in der O2 World Berlin
Sie gehören zu den einflussreichsten Bands der Musikgeschichte und endlich kann man sie wieder live erleben! Queen werden mit dem Sänger Adam Lambert auf Tour gehen und am 4. Februar 2015 live in der o2 World in Berlin performen. Tickets für dieses spektakuläre Konzert sind ab dem 4. Oktober 2014 erhältlich.
Queen zählen zu den Giganten der Rockmusik, auch mehr als vier Jahrzehnte nach ihrer Gründung und mehr als zwei Jahrzehnte nach dem Tod ihres legendären Frontmanns Freddie Mercury. Unzählige Hits haben Queen in den vergangen Jahrzehnten hervorgebracht, zu den bekanntesten Songs gehören das von Freddie Mercury komponierte "We Are the Champions", Brian Mays "We Will Rock You“, John Deacons "Another One Bites the Dust" und Roger Taylors "Radio GaGa".
Der American-Idol Gewinner Adam Lambert, der selbst schon lange großer Queen-Fan ist, wird den Part des verstorbenen Frontmanns Freddie Mercury übernehmen. Die Zusammenarbeit von Queen und Lambert begann bereits 2009, als man gemeinsam "We Are The Champions" im Final von American Idol performte. Weitere gemeinsame Aufritte gab es z.B. bei Open-Air-Konzerten in Kiew im Rahmen der Fußball-Europameisterschaft, in Moskau und Breslau sowie bei drei Konzerte in London. Im Februar 2015 ist es endlich soweit: Queen & Adam Lambert kommen in die o2 World Berlin. Fans dürfen sich auf eine eindrucksvolle Show mit allen Rock-Hymnen und Klassikern mit einem außergewöhnlichen Frontman freuen.

Men in heels, neon fabric in futuristic cuts, androgynous beauties, and an ecstatic crowd was all to be had at last night’s Marco Marco fashion show at the Vibiana Cathedral in downtown Los Angeles. In attendance at the fashion show were such stars as Adam Lambert, Carmen Electra, Jai Rodriguez, Chris Salvatore, Tahj Mowry, Lily Ghalichi and GG Gharachedaghi, Samuel Larsen, and Vivian Lamolli.
Marco Morante, the openly gay fashion designer of Marco Marco, presented his Spring/Summer 2015 Collection Three Line with an array of models—women, men, transgender, like Yasmine Petty, and even guest models from RuPaul’s Drag Race, such as Mathu Anderson, Willam Belli, Detox Icunt, and Sharon Needles. Marco has dressed celebrities such as Brittney Spears, Fergie, Iggy Azalea, and Katy Perry.
There were a few things that made this event special. The new line for Marco Marco spoke volumes about and for the LGBT community and high fashion. Take for instance the models— not only was Marco’s line presented by androgynous males and females but the special guest models of the nights hailed from RuPaul’s Drag Race. This celebration of gender bending, an active rebellion against gender roles, is something that Marco presented at his Collection 2 show last year and is pushing forward in the fashion industry. Marco’s choice in LGBT models represents to society that there’s a beauty to be found in different body types, sizes, and fashion.
When Jai Rodriguez of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy was asked what having more transgender and drag models in high fashion shows meant for our society, he replied:
I don’t know very many models who can walk the runway and give the same essence of a pop sensation like many of these girls from Drag Race. I think that we are moving forward. Betsy Johnson just had Willam walk in her show. So we are making good strides. It’s kind of been happening under the radar with a lot of trans girls. We are embracing it all. I love that Marco Marco is blazing it and just doing it.
Similarly, Chris Salvatore, actor and gay rights activist had this to say when asked why he thought it was so important for people to support Marco Marco and other LGBT proponents in the entertainment industry:
I feel like there’s are a lot of kids nowadays that are looking for a role model and they just want someone to look up to. [Marco] proves that you can be out and still be successful, and that you can follow your dreams. These young kids need role models. There aren’t a lot of them out there.
I was impressed with last night’s show because not only was it in an incredible venue but the crowd was so positive and supportive of the men and women on the catwalk. They celebrated what it meant to be unique and beautiful in one’s own skin, a trait that society would benefit from.
Perhaps one of the most memorable moments of the Marco Marco fashion show was when Adam Lambert, gay singer and songwriter, was asked what he thought about the Supreme Court’s decisive role on October 6th and that now 30 states in the United States allow same-sex marriage.
He said: “Fuck yeah.”
I think we can all agree with Adam Lambert. F— yeah.

The AT&T Live Proud Campaign's Finale in NY Included Adam Lambert!

Adam Lambert is not only a powerhouse singer with vocals that chill and delight, he is also a very generous gay man who helps support the LGBT community in any way he can. Last night, in the finale of the "Live Proud" campaign, he joined to help inspire, share pride and contribute. He signed an acoustic guitar that has 50 other notable music industry names on it that will be auctioned off October 23. The proceeds are going to help a family very much in need of rebuilding their lives.
This is the second year for the Live Proud Campaign that tries to raise awareness for LGBT youth, by encouraging participants to share proud moments of their careers and lives. Adam Lambert is a perfect example and role model for today's young people and has a lot to be proud of.
He spoke to the crowd briefly before performing songs that seem to be hand picked by him for just the right fit for this campaign, and stressed that love and sexuality are what drives people. "We all just want love, don’t we? It’s all about love. Or finding other things in the meantime when you’re trying to find love, that’s cool too. Love is a tough game" were words of understanding from the talented singer who has been busy touring this past year with the Iconic band Queen.
The "Queen + Adam Lambert" tour took in North American and Asia this year, and has sold out dates already for their next leg in 2015 touring Europe. Adam Lambert is also finishing up his third solo album, has changed labels and is keeping his throngs of fans, the Glamberts, on pins and needles waiting for word of his album release.
His song set included: Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Whataya Want From Me, Outlaws of Love (this author's personal favorite of the set) and a mash-up of Trespassing and Another One Bites the Dust.
