Queen's Brian May on Adam Lambert: 'He's confident, but never arrogant'

'We Will Rock You' band Queen have welcomed Adam Lambert into the fold with open arms over the past few years and the group's guitarist has now revealed why he's such a great fit. 

Iconic guitarist Brain May told Classic Rock that Lambert has a respectful confidence about him that comes across in his performances with the band: "Adam is beautifully confident, but he’s never arrogant. He’s always respectful."

He continued, adding that nothing about Lambert's showmanship with Queen is an imitation: "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."

Queen and Adam Lambert, meanwhile, are set to play a special concert on New Year's Eve for BBC One in the UK and it will take place at the Westminster Central Hall just before midnight.
