Queen talk about how they'll prepare for their Isle of Wight Festival set

Iconic rock band Queen and singer Adam Lambert will perform live this Sunday night at the Isle of Wight Festival and drummer Roger Taylor has revealed they'll give the slot that extra injection of passion.

During an interview with BBC Radio 2's Chris Evans, Taylor explained that he, Brian May and Adam Lambert are very excited for the event and can't wait to bring their show to the 100,000-strong crowd:

"We've been going all round Europe having some incredible shows and we're really looking forward to the Isle of Wight on Sunday, there's an incredible line up actually. It's kind of special. It's the only one in Britain. Of course... The Isle of Wight is part of our history, isn't it? The Isle of Wight Festival is a very special thing [...] it's going to be brilliant."

When asked how he will prepare for the set, Taylor added: "I'm going to get a couple of days good rest after last night, which was a big festival in Sweden, and hopefully bring a good voice and all pumped up for Sunday."

"I drink a bit of whiskey beforehand. I get very quiet before the actual show and noisy afterwards! Then hopefully loud during it... We just get focused really, we've been doing it for so long now. We'll give it that extra frisson of excitement..."

As previously reported, Taylor also opened up about the band's plans for after the event and explained that he will take them back to his house for a curry and some drinks.
