Watch Adam Lambert harmonizing with Queen backstage

EXTRACT:
Adam Lambert can be seen singing harmonies with Queen icons Brian May and Roger Taylor before a concert in a clip taken from the new documentary The Show Must Go On: The Queen + Adam Lambert Story. It airs tonight on ABC and follows Lambert’s history with the band over the 10 years since May and Taylor made what was thought to be a one-off appearance with the singer as he competed in the 2009 season of American Idol. The clip – which you can watch below – starts with archive footage of Freddie Mercury warming up while Taylor jokingly overdoes a vocal delivery. It’s followed by a recent recording with Lambert, during which Taylor behaves in a similar fashion.

How long is the guitar solo? Is it my turn?'”…

The Show Must Go On: The Queen + Adam Lambert Story HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: 8 p.m. on ABC
29 April 2019 by EW Staff
EXTRACT:
As this doc reiterates frequently, there’s no replacing Freddie Mercury. But by some miracle, someone came along with the vocal range and stage persona required to take on the mantle of Queen’s frontman. The special tracks the band’s listless years following Mercury’s death alongside Adam Lambert’s rise on American Idol, and the evolution of their collaboration into a powerhouse touring act. It’s a bit overlong and not particularly incisive, but it is a breezy watch with a heartwarming pro-LGBTQ message—plus plenty of clips from Queen + Lambert’s electrifying concerts.
