The Queen + Adam Lambert Tour 2012 was a European concert tour that was the first touring collaboration between British rock band Queen and American singer Adam Lambert.
Adam Lambert first performed with Queen as a contestant on the eighth season of American Idol. [1] Soon after the performance, Brian May indicated to Rolling Stone that he was considering Lambert as a front-man for Queen. [2] In November 2011, Adam Lambert joined Queen for a special performance at the MTV Europe Awards in Belfast. [3] It was then reported in December 2011 that Taylor and May had begun discussions with Lambert for him to front Queen in concert. [4]
The tour began in June 2012 at Kyiv's Independence Square, a joint show with Elton John in aid of the Elena Pinchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation. [5] Following the Kyiv concert, the group was set to play a number of festival dates. The UK Sonisphere Festival was cancelled and Queen and Lambert instead performed three sold out concerts at London's Hammersmith Apollo to wrap up the tour. [6]
