Queen drummer Roger Taylor has praised
singer Adam Lambert as “brilliant.”
Last year, Lambert fronted for the
British band Queen in a series of highly successful European shows.
They performed stateside in September at the iHeartRadio Music
Festival in Las Vegas.
In a new interview with Canoe,
Taylor discussed the pairing.
“It was a one-off but it went really
fantastically well,” Taylor said. “He's really come on even
more. He's a dark force now. And he's very theatrical. And he
really interprets our songs just brilliantly. And he has that
incredible instrument, that voice, and I feel he's going away from
the pop thing, which is good I think. And he's become a serious
player. He's got a voice which is pretty unbeatable. I do think we
will be working with Adam next year. Yeah.”
