Queen & Adam Lambert Dedicate 'Who Wants to Live Forever' to Orlando Victims at U.K. Festival

"This song is dedicated to those who lost their lives last night in Orlando, Florida, and anyone who has been a victim of senseless violence or hatred," Lambert says on Isle of Wight stage.
Queen and Adam Lambert honored the memory of the victims of the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando at the U.K.'s Isle of Wight Festival on Sunday, closing their headlining set with a moving and emotional performance of the 1986 song "Who Wants to Live Forever."
Standing alone at a microphone on a darkened stage surrounded by dramatic blue and purple laser lights, Lambert was somber as he spoke of the fallen. "This song is dedicated to those who lost their lives last night in Orlando, Florida, and anyone who has been a victim of senseless violence or hatred," he said.

On Monday (June 13), Lambert took to Twitter to denounce the act, calling the murder of 50 people and wounding of 53 a hate crime. The American Idol season 8 runner-up is also urging his followers to donate to a GoFundMe page set up to assist the victims and their families.
“The horrible tragedy in Orlando is BOTH a terrorism AND gun control issue. It is also a horrendous hate crime. It sickens me to see commentary in my own feed of people over how to classify or politicize it,” Lambert wrote. “This is not a Democratic or Republican issue. This is not just an LGBTQ issue. This is a HUMAN issue. 50 lives were lost. Let’s make sure we pay our proper respects first and foremost. Please do what you can to help the families of the victims. We need to mourn and to process.”

Isle of Wight 2016: The Who and Queen prove age is no factor with knockout performances

Sunday
The final day of performances was only really about one band, who I have to admit I had low expectations for. Many bands struggle to carry on without their original singer, and when your singer is widely considered to be one of the greatest frontmen of all time, it makes the task nigh on impossible.
Any scepticism I had about watching Queen without Freddie Mercury in the year 2016 was quickly blown away, and one of the key reasons for that is the man they brought in, Adam Lambert. Trying to be a like for like replacement would be a pointless idea, so you have to respect Lambert for not turning the performance into an overblown karaoke act. The former American Idol contestant is a proper showman, proving he was born to be on stage in front if tens of thousands. By my count, there was at least six costume for Lambert throughout the show, including at one stage wearing a diamond encrusted crown, showing he has the flamboyance needed to fill Mercury's shoes.
From opener One Love to Somebody to Love and I Want to Break Free, each song was widely appreciated by the crowd and at on point I had to begrudgingly admit maybe Queen and Lambert have put on the greatest show of the entire weekend.
There was even a touching moment from Lambert when he dedicated Who Wants to Live Forever to the 50 people who died in the mass shooting at a gay bar in Orlando.
Despite being more than comfortable doing so, the band made sure the whole entire set wasn't focused on Lambert, with Brian May displaying why he is still considered a guitar hero and Roger Taylor not only providing the stable rock and roll drum solo, but also well-grounded vocals on many of the tracks, including David Bowie's part in the classic track, Under Pressure.
Sadly, not all of the revamped Queen set was great. A section which May performed a solo while on a 30feet pedestal somehow managed to come over as fantastically over the top and slightly boring. However, these moments were minimal compared to the rest of the show. One aspect I did have concern about was how would they perform Bohemian Rhapsody, a song so obscene it surely can't be touched by anyone other than Mercury. The answer was simple, just play the song via the speaker and let the crowd drunkingly sing along like everyone has done several times in their lives, show footage of Mercury playing the song live before bringing in Lambert the rest of the band for the rocking finale. Somehow the whole thing worked.
The final two songs of We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions provided the perfect mass singalong once more from the entire crowd, before an explosion of gold glitter into the crowd being a fittingly camp end to one of the most enjoyable festival performances I have ever seen from a band who rarely play festivals- a feat I didn't think would be possible.
Unity and Love will not be silenced.
