Brian May: 'If people don't like Adam Lambert fronting Queen, thanks and goodbye! No problem'

Rocker Brian May has revealed that if people don't like the fact that vocal sensation Adam Lambert is now going to front iconic band Queen for a full tour of North America they can just avoid listening to the music.

Speaking about the addition of Lambert to band's current live line-up, May explained that there are always going to be fans who disagree with such decisions, but if they don't like it he thinks it's just tough luck: "If you concentrate on the negative you’re not going to get anywhere. It’s very important to have your focus, and you play to people who want to hear us. Anyone that doesn’t want to hear us, thanks, goodbye. No problem."

The 'Trespassing' superstar also gave his opinion on stepping back into the role of Queen's frontman, adding that he was relieved at how supportive the public were:

"At first it was a little daunting when we did our first incarnation of this. I definitely felt apprehensive. Freddie Mercury is one of the greatest singers that ever lived, and he’s a big idol for me, and I thought to myself, you know I hope that the fans dig this, you know, because there is a possibility that they wouldn’t. And it felt really good. The reception was warm, the press reaction to it the first time was very warm."
