It remains to be seen whether he'll be a good enough replacement - but he's in good company. Lots of massive rock bands have replaced their frontmen or women through the ages, to mixed effect... Queen and Adam Lambert When trying to replace someone as iconic as Freddie Mercury, where’s the best place to look? The pile of TV talent show rejects, right? That’s what Brian May and his band did when they recruited Adam Lambert to fill the position of Queen’s lead singer in 2011. The group show no signs of letting up just yet, either, with UK dates booked later this month. Photo: Getty Well that was....snarky. And obviously from someone who had never seen or even read a review about the shows <eyeroll> |

Wait, there was a worldwide sold out arena tour that hit four continents with near ubiquitous ecstatic reviews ?? Waaa?? Oh, I thought it was a few pub dates on fish-and-chip special night. Sorry - haven't been out of my basement lately. |

Considering the source that was positively benign. NME is nothing but snark and too cool for school scathing commentary. They hate on everybody. |

You know, I don't typically recommend slamming a comments section, but this might be an exception. PARTICULARLY if peeps bring over review links from major city newspapers from North America, Japan, Australia, UK, and mainland Europe..... <evil grin> #Queenbertpower |
