ABC News the Show Must Go on the Story of Queen Adam Feb. 25, 2019 TWO-HOUR DOCUMENTARY ‘THE SHOW MUST GO ON: THE QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT STORY’ AIRS MONDAY, APRIL 29 (8:00 – 10:00 P.M. EDT), ON ABC Photo credit: Courtesy of Miracle Productions On the heels of Queen and Adam Lambert’s show-stopping opening performance at the Oscars® on Sunday, Feb. 24, Lincoln Square Productions has acquired the U.S. television rights to a documentary from Miracle Productions on the iconic band and their new regular frontman, Adam Lambert. Produced by Jim Beach and acclaimed writer and filmmaker Simon Lupton, “The Show Must Go On: The Queen + Adam Lambert StoRy” airs MONDAY, APRIL 29 (8:00–10:00 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network, prior to Queen and Lambert’s already sold-out July/August 2019 U.S. Rhapsody tour. With rare concert footage and exclusive, revealing portraits of the band members offstage, “The Show Must Go On” chronicles Queen and Lambert’s incredible journey since they first shared the stage together on “American Idol” in 2009. From his humble beginnings and meteoric rise on reality TV to now standing center stage as lead singer of Queen + Adam Lambert, the documentary features brand-new interviews with Lambert, his parents Leila and Eber, and Queen founding members Brian May and Roger Taylor, as well as Golden Globe® and Oscar® winner for Best Actor “Bohemian Rhapsody”’s Rami Malek, and Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins. Queen remain vanguards of rock in the 21st century. They scored their first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1980 and soared through that decade performing in stadiums, including their landmark 1985 performance at Live Aid which was seen by 3 billion people worldwide. Freddie Mercury died of AIDS in 1991, and a star-studded tribute concert the following year was thought to be the conclusion of Queen live. “The Show Must Go On” simultaneously follows the ensuing 27 years. Lambert, starting at the age of 10, is beginning to come of age, discovers his love of music and finds a voice of his own while, across the pond, the surviving members of Queen see their songs remain staples with DJs, in clubs, in theatres around the globe with their hit musical, “We Will Rock You,” and in movies. Lambert and Queen intersected in spectacular fashion when Lambert first performs with the band, singing “We Are the Champions” as one of only two finalists on Season 8 of “American Idol.” The public reaction was remarkable and first seeded the idea that perhaps Lambert might become a permanent fixture in the Queen family. In 2012, Queen + Adam Lambert was born. To date, Queen + Adam Lambert have performed together in nearly 200 sold-out shows in arenas and stadiums across the world. “The Show Must Go On: The Queen + Adam Lambert Story” is produced by Simon Lupton and Jim Beach for Miracle Productions, and Matt Lombardi is executive producer for Lincoln Square Productions.

Adam followed this success with his second album, “Trespassing,” which became the first album to reach the No. 1 spot in the U.S. and Canada by an openly gay artist. His highly anticipated third album, “The Original High,” was executive produced by Max Martin and Shellback and included the smash hit “Ghost Town.” Adam joined the cast of “Glee” for a six-episode story in 2013 and performed the role of Eddie in Fox’s “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” He went on to judge on “The X Factor Australia” where his artist, Isaiah, won the show. 2019 will see Adam releasing his fourth album and also exploring the world of film, voicing character Emperor Maximus in upcoming animated-live action hybrid movie “Playmobil: The Movie.” His new song, “Feel Something,” came out on Feb. 22.

    QUEEN The Official International Queen Fan Club | Summer 2015 Well, the years roll by, folks. Roger and I, along with Adam and the whole Queen Team, are starting to prepare mentally for our swing through South America next month. Amazing that we should be still thundering around the world crashing through herds of Queen songs with that phenomenal GFG Adam Lambert. Well, yes, it’s hard to talk sense these days. In my view, the world has gone mad. or someone’s Compassion is a lost concept, all decisions are made on the basis of how they affect ‘The Economy’ personal wealth and power, and selfishness—the F—k You philosophy—rules. So here I am, ranting on as I do. But I’m a musician, right? Yes, we’ll be seeing you out there in Sao Paulo and Rio and Buenos Aires and Santiago and Cordoba and Porto Alegre … how thrilling. It’s almost exactly 30 years since we headlined the very first Rock in Rio night—with Freddie, and John, of course, and now we return to a new young audience of rockers, with Adam, who I’m convinced they will adore. It was all sold out From the ‘One Voice’ video—see https://youtu.be/0plWNDyA6Ig months ago, so it ought to be wild. Behind the scenes, Queen activity is always in full swing. The chaps have been working on a new Hi Everyone! historical venture Queen at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1975. This concert was very special because it was the first time we ever played a whole show completely live onTV … the Christmas Show.

    ! ! PRESS NOTES The iconic intro of “We Will Rock You,” the soaring chorus of “We Are the Champions,” the mesmerizing operatics of “Bohemian Rhapsody”... Who isn’t moved to sing along when they hear these anthems? Who can’t fail to stamp their feet at such heart-stirring beats? Who can forget that moment the Live Aid concert of 1985 suddenly moved into fifth gear when Freddie Mercury strutted onto the stage and sent the crowd into frenzies of communal singing? It’s been over 25 years since the death of lead singer and flamboyant front Freddie Mercury, yet the music lives on. Freddie redefined and transcended stereotypes, just as Queen’s music refuses to be slotted into any traditional genre. Perhaps that’s why the band is such a cross-generational, multicultural and global phenomenon. Now, Emmy®-winner Rami Malek (Mr. Robot) dons the skintight catsuit and grabs that microphone stick to take on the role of the king of pop rock in Bohemian Rhapsody, a foot-stomping celebration of Queen’s music and lead singer Freddie Mercury’s extraordinary life. Starring alongside Malek is Lucy Boynton (Murder on the Orient Express) as Mary Austin, Gwilym Lee (Jamestown) as guitarist Brian May; Ben Hardy (The Women in White) as drummer Roger Taylor; Joe Mazzello (Jurassic Park) as bass guitarist John “Deacy” Deacon; Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones) as Queen’s first manager John Reid; Tom Hollander (The Night Manager) as the group’s lawyer-turned-manager Jim “Miami” Beach; Allen Leech (Downton Abbey) as Paul Prenter, who started off as Reid’s assistant and became Freddie Mercury’s personal manager; Aaron !2 McCusker (Shameless) as Freddie’s longtime boyfriend Jim Hutton; and Mike Myers (Austin Powers) as EMI Records’ Ray Foster.

  • Freddie's Illness and Last Months by Sean O'hagan Freddie Mercury
    Freddie’s illness and last months By Sean O’Hagan Freddie Mercury was officially diagnosed HIV positive in 1987, one year before the Barcelona album. His final years were spent in London and Montreux, among a close circle of friends that included his personal assistants, Peter Freestone and Joe Fanelli, his manager Jim Beach, and the second great love of his life, Jim Hutton. "He took on board and excepted the inevitability," Mary Austin remembers, "I saw a man become incredibly brave". He told each of his immediate circle in turn, and the band, all of whom had expected the worst for some time, instructing each of them not to speak of the matter again. "He accepted," says Peter ‘Phoebe’ Freestone, "that he was one of the unlucky ones. He had no regrets. Well, maybe one - that he had so much music left in him". To this end, he recorded with Queen for as long as he could. When the other band members officially found about his illness they, "clustered around him like a protective shell", as Brian May memorably put it. Queen made a further two critically acclaimed albums, The Miracle in 1989, and Innuendo in 1991, the singer, to the end, insisting on what were now physically exacting standards of quality control. In his second last video appearance, dolled up like a deranged Lord Byron, Freddie sang I’m Going Slightly Mad. The man had style, and attitude to burn. In the last Queen video, These Are The Days of Our Lives, he looks fragile, ethereal, as if he could be borne away on the wind at any moment.

    FIGHTING AIDS WORLDWIDE in memory of FREDDIE FOMERCURYR A DAY www.freddieforaday.com FFAD_MPTLeaflet2013(c).indd 1 16/07/2013 15:55 he life of Farrokh Bulsara began on the East TAfrican island of Zanzibar on September 5, 1946. 25 years later in London under the name Freddie Mercury he was fronting the now legendary rock group named Queen. The son of Bomi and Jer Bulsara, Freddie spent the bulk of his childhood in India where he attended St. Peter’s boarding school. He began taking piano lessons at the age of seven. No one could foresee where a love of music would take him. The Bulsara family moved to Middlesex in 1964 and from there Freddie joined up with a blues band called Wreckage while studying graphic design courses at Ealing College of Art. While singing for Wreckage, a fellow student introduced Freddie to Roger Taylor and Brian May, founder members of a band called Smile. Smile metamorphosed into Queen when Freddie joined Roger and Brian to start a new band with himself as the lead vocalist. The final member of the band, which was to stay together for the next 20 years was bassist John Deacon. The rest is rock history. EMI Records promptly signed the band and in 1973 their debut album ‘Queen’ was released and hailed as one of the most exciting developments ever in rock music. The immortal operatically styled single ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ was released in 1975 and proceeded to top the UK charts for 9 weeks. A song that was nearly never released due to its length and unusual style but which Freddie insisted would be played became the instantly recognisable hit.
