Adam Set to Perform with Queen at Knebworth Park for a Unique One-Off Concert:
20.02.12
Adam Lambert has been invited to grace the stage with legendary rock band, Queen this summer at Knebworth Park for Sonisphere 2012.
After their brief meeting on American Idol, the potent chemistry between Queen and Lambert finally broke the surface when, at the invitation of Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor, Lambert joined them for the closing showcase at the recent MTV Europe Awards, where Queen were present to collect their Global Icon award.
Their eight minute MTVE set ignited an immediate reaction across the internet with social network sites buzzing with excitement and campaigning for a more formal union between Queen and Lambert. The Sonisphere 2012 Knebworth stage will at last provide an eager public the opportunity to see May, Taylor and Lambert delve deeper into exploring their very evident artistic appreciation of one another. Says Brian May: “Judging by my incoming mail, this decision will make a lot of people very happy. It's a worthy challenge for us, and I'm sure Adam would meet with Freddie's approval! And what better place to revisit, and walk those emotional paths than Knebworth? It will be a rush.”
Adam adds: “I'm completely in awe of the Queen phenomenon. The thought of sharing the stage for a full set 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 the evening will be a huge milestone for me, and with the support of Brian, Roger and the rest of the band I know magic will be on display.”

This would be the best 18th Birthday present ever!!! It's 2 days before mine and I am dying to be there!!!
I have loved Queen my whole life and Adam is the perfect choice for a front man. I would LOVE to see that. When I first heard him on Idol I told my husband I hope he does a Queen song, when he did Bohemian Rhapsody that was it...I'm a 50 year old Glambert Grandma. LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM.
I admire how Adam can resist all the haters... Good luck to you Adam, you are great!
Iam So Happy For Adam to Perform with Queen,but Iam so sad for me Because I can not afford to go to London for The concert. I Hope The concert will be on TV or on Video for People That can not go to The Concert in London. Have a Fun Concert Adam. I Love You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 2 favorites performing together at Knebworth its a dream come true. My husband [then fiancee] and I were at Knebworth in 1986 to see Freddy and Queen perform one of their last live concerts together and we will be there to see this epic live set with Adam.We will be doing the 3 day camping package [we used to camp a lot but haven't done it for years] as my husband also is a fan of KISS and Incubus.I never dreamed that my silver wedding gift from my lovely husband would be this I luv it!!!!
So incredibly proud of him for coming so far, despite everything and everyone that tried to stand in his way.
