QUEEN, WITH ADAM LAMBERT CONFIRMED FOR SONISPHERE 2012

This is the end, Brian and Rodger have lost the plot, totally embarassing. What did PR do wrong?... still good news about KISS.

There's only one hope what could stop this utter embarrassment:

Since THE DARKNESS are playing too, Justin Hawkins will smack his Les Paul onto Lamberts head and will not only take over the mic from there, but will also steal the show for good.

Justin, in case you're reading this: FOR FUCKS SAKE, DO SOMETHING!!!

Pssst Rog, buddy, you really don't understand the USA. A lame reality competition (QE) and performing with an American Idol runnerup ain't going to amount to much...other than make you look like a bigger ass than you've already shown.

The only way to further establish Queen the USA is to release the archives.

This is going to stink. He was terrible at the last show they did. It's a fucking shame they're too busy pandering to pick someone who can actually do the job, like Tom Chaplin.

Guys I agree Lambert is terrible and no one matches Freddie. But what do you all want?? We all want Queen to continue in a capacity and we ALL want Queen to maintain a band that has given us and hundreds of millions accross the world, joy since the 70's...so you cant continue playing gigs if you dont have a lead singer. If Lambert is wrong I dont see many on here making another suggestion.

Live 70's DVDs will do.

Is it awful to hope Lambert fucks up royally and that officially ends any further collaborations?

Maybe someone can put some laxatives in his coffee.

I also hate that Brian is "speaking" for Freddie, saying he would have loved this choice.

Agreed.

For Queen to quit embarrassing themselves for the sake of a dollar.

"We all want Queen to continue in a capacity and we ALL want Queen to maintain a band... "

Sorry, I don't. Their best days were almost 37 years ago. Think of that. It's amazing that they are still around, but if they peaked with ANATO and started to decline with Hot Space, they haven't had a ton of great music in 30 years. It's quite sad that it's come to this but it's their legacy and they sought popularity over substance and it's more important for Brian and Roger to be peers of Madonna and Cliff Richard than the Beatles or Zep.

I don't think so, Justin Hawkins worked on Lambert's record, wrote a few songs for him and was very excited about it. Justin thinks Lambert is awesome, at least in that time.Sorry but you have to think in another guy for the dirty job

Brian needs to shut the hell up about what Freddie would've thought. Freddie would be incredibly hurt that they still called themselves Queen without HIM. His whole life was Queen. He was married to it.

I do hope the Queen + AL bombs and Brian and Roger are finally humbled.

Adam Lambert has great range and is technically a good singer but his tone isn't there. He has no Soul. He's all flash and no boom

I don't know how long the sets are for these types of festivals. Is it about five songs or so? Ten songs?

Mind your language and practice some diplomacy please, Brian

Paul Rodgers is AIDS, CANCER AND THE NAZI HOLOCAUST.


Adam Lambert will be fine.

This is f*cking ridiculous. Look what they doing with the band.

I doubt Freddie would approve of this pseudo-singer.

I'm 99.99% sure John is really angry with this news. Poor John Deacon. Hope his not allow them to use his songs.
Probably this now ends any possibility that one day he will return to play with Brian and Roger.
