Adam Lambert has been touring with Queen since 2011, and most recently shared the stage with the band for their Rhapsody North American tour. Lambert was interviewed by SiriusXM, and discussed late frontman Freddy Mercury, praising the singer with high regard, and of his desire to have met him. 

“I keep hearing from so many original Queen fans, especially dads, who say, ‘My teenage son loves Queen now’ – and it’s because of the Bohemian Rhapsody movie.” Adam said. He added. “That’s one of the things I love about being on tour with the band is that I get to carry a torch for this hero of mine.”

“I didn’t know him but Brian May and Roger Taylor say there are definite similarities and they say, ‘We think you would get a kick out of each other – you probably would have enjoyed each other’s company.’ That means a lot.”

“I just wish I had known him. I wish he were alive so I didn’t even have the gig. He was amazing.” 

A reworked edition of Freddy Mercury’s album, ‘Time Waits For No One’, was unveiled on July 26, with an official release saying, ‘Time Waits For No One’ is a tribute to the musical force of Freddie Mercury; the performance, the drama, the vocal range, and after four decades waiting in the wings, is finally out for new and old fans alike.”
