Queen + Adam Lambert had to cancel their plans for summer travel due to the pandemic, but they decided to make it to fans by releasing their first live album and concert film, Queen + Adam Live Around the World. It has been applied to concerts through various tours over the past six years and will be released on October 2 on CD, DVD, Blu-ray and vinyl.
‘We had not seen those clips before; we were always too busy to tour, ”says drummer Roger Taylor. ‘We did not know how good the band sounded. That we thought, well, maybe there’s a live album with highlights from concerts we’ve done with Adam Lambert over the past eight years. “
“While we all wrestle with the challenge of creating live shows in a world dominated by a formidable viral enemy,” adds guitarist Brian May, “it was the perfect time for us to create a collection of hand-selected live highlights. from our Queen shows the last seven years with our brother Adam Lambert. ”
The album is heavy on hits like “Another One Bites the Dust”, “Under Pressure and” Now I’m Here “, although there are lesser known songs such as” Tear It Up “and” I Was Born to Love You “. “It ends with the band’s February 16, 2020 set at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, Australia, where they re-created their legendary Live Aid medley as part of the Fire Fight benefit concert.
“It was a historic event for a great cause – with perhaps the highest adrenaline level since the original Live Aid in 1985,” May said in a statement. “It makes me especially happy that we can now share this unique moment with the whole world.”
Queen + Adam Lambert plans to start over Rhapsody tour in May 2021 with a long series of European shows, but they really do not know if mass gatherings are possible at that point. “We all crossed our fingers for a fax,” Taylor said Rolling stone in July. ‘If there is no vaccine, I’m not sure it’s going to happen … I’m gonna be fine [doing the shows] if I feel the risk to people in the audience as non-existent or very low. I would not be surprised if people wear masks in a year. We’ll see. Like everyone else I do not know. ”
