Queen's Brian May: 'It would be wrong to stop Adam Lambert from doing other projects'

Iconic rock band Queen enjoyed great live success touring the world with Adam Lambert acting as frontman, but the 'We Will Rock You' group's members have now revealed that it was time to let him go and focus on his own project. 

Brian May told press at this week's Ivor Novello Awards that it would be "wrong" to restrict Lambert from pursuing his solo career and both he and drummer Roger Taylor are excited to see how the star's forthcoming new album, 'The Original High', does commercially:

"No, we're not doing that. Not at the moment anyway. We might do [at some point]. But, at the moment, we're watching with interest while Adam pursues his solo career, and it seems to be going very well. I mean, he's an amazing, amazing artist — there's no getting away from that — so it's very interesting to watch him develop."

"And I think we're conscious that he doesn't wanna be with us all the time, you know?! That would be so wrong, for us to just, sort of, envelop him and never let him go off and do anything else. It's very important that his own career is progressing now. And we're looking forward to being back together in September to do Rock In Rio [in Brazil], and some dates in Argentina and Venezuela, I believe."
