The Show Must Go On World Premiere!
It was the 12th and last track from Queen’s last album, Innuendo.
Adam Lambert does an amazing job with it too. The band made this song as a tribute to Freddie’s lust for life even at the end, when his health was failing.
This performance was recorded at London’s O2 arena, July 4, 2018.
From their release: Played with an undeniable depth of feeling, it’s the perfect showcase for the singular talents of Adam Lambert. Though the singer has categorically stated “There is never going to be another [Freddie] and I’m not replacing him” on many occasions, Lambert’s bold yet dignified performance of ‘The Show Must Go On’ is enough the stop even the most casual of observers in their tracks. As one prominent critic said, “He is his own man, he brings his own distinctive style, identity and nuances to the songs” and he does this nowhere more so than on ‘The Show Must Go On’.
