Queen's Brian May could not be happier with the job that Adam Lambert has been doing as the band's new frontman. Lambert joined the band in 2011, filling the spot vacated by the late Freddie Mercury.
"Freddie would love and hate him, because Adam has a real gift from God," May told Yahoo. "It's a voice in a billion, nobody has that range, nobody that I've ever worked with, not just the range but the quality throughout the range. I've seen Adam develop just like I watched Freddie develop."
"In no way does he imitate Freddie but he provides that piece of the jigsaw puzzle," he said. "It's stupendous, we would never be doing this now if it weren't for Adam. Sometimes I stop playing because I think 'what did he just do?' He's so free with his interpretations and it's just spine-chilling. The sound he makes and the way he interprets a song."
Queen will begin their new residency in Last Vegas on September 1.
