Queen on Adam Lambert: 'His voice is one in a billion'

Rock icons Queen recently teamed up with vocal powerhouse Adam Lambert again for a special performance at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas and the band have praised the young superstar's incredible talents. 

Legendary guitarist Brian May told press at the event that they don't see the 'Trespassing' hitmaker as a replacement for the late Freddie Mercury because he doesn't try to impersonate his style and, instead, brings his own attitude to the material: "He's extraordinary. It speaks for itself, his voice. That's one voice in a billion. Adam can do things which really I have never heard anyone else ever do in my life."

"It just works with him. It feels comfortable and nice, and challenging, also, because he puts different interpretations on the songs, so it gets us to play a little differently. So, it's nice, it's alive."

As Pressparty previously reported, 66-year-old May described Lambert as a 'gift from heaven': "We have a chance to do great things with Adam Lambert. He really is a wonderful foil for us, so it's a kind of gift from heaven, really."
