Queen sensation Brian May has defended Adam Lambert as the band's current singer and revealed that he performs the well-loved songs with passion and the respect they deserve. 

During an interview with Nik Carter backstage at the recent Classic Rock Awards, May confessed that he's amazed at how effortlessly Lambert fits into the group and also into the coveted and protected position of frontman for Queen:

"Adam is beautifully confident, but he’s never arrogant. He’s always respectful. He’s always looking for the right way to do things. He brings himself to it, that’s all I can say. He’s not an imitator. He doesn’t need to pretend to be Freddie, in any sense whatsoever."

The iconic guitarist went onto add that while he can't talk about the distant future, he can say that for now having Lambert in the band is a fantastic addition that works very well: "I don’t know if it’s a marriage, but it’s a very good affair."
