IN what is certain to be among next year’s most sought out music events, Queen + Adam Lambert will visit the first direct arena, in Leeds, on January 20.

Having only earlier this month wound down after a sold-out world tour taking in North America, Australia, New Zealand, and outdoor festival stops in Korea and Japan, Queen + Adam Lambert are sparing no time in taking their critically-hailed partnership back on the road and into Yorkshire.

Queen fans can expect a spectacular night of entertainment, said Brian May. “It’s big and daring. We’re going to do it to the max,” he said.

Roger Taylor said: “Each time we’ve worked with Adam with our music, he’s just the most incredible front man. Adam’s sensational. He has this amazing range. Freddie also had a great range. Adam can really cover it. He’s an extraordinary singer and a real talent. I feel he fits into our sort of theatricality. It is very comfortable.”

Queen has amassed a staggering list of sales, awards and hall of fame inductions that is second to none.

Record sales in the millions, including an unprecedented string of number one albums and top-charting singles, continue to put Queen in the top 10 of all-time iTunes sales.

Earlier this year Queen were officially recognised as the first artist ever to sell more than six million copies of an album in the UK with their To book, visit firstdirectarena.com or phone 0844 2481585.
