Queen and Adam Lambert have just restarted their global tour, which had been interrupted like so many by the global pandemic. We’re on tour right now so we’re ready to go, we’re very warm and it always feels great to be a guest of Brian and Roger on the stages around the world. And then Adam opened up about playing for such a special occasion and his role in the band. And now to be a guest of the United Kingdom for the Jubilee, it’s a huge honour.

The special concert celebrating the Queen's 70-year Jubilee will be broadcast live on BBC One on Saturday evening.
