Adam Lambert has been singing with Queen in recent years

Lambert has gone down a storm in recent years, singing with the iconic band at various live dates. But the minority who have compared him to Mercury have been branded “f**king unimaginative” by Taylor, speaking in a new documentary. The Show Must Go On aired in the US earlier this week, and charts Lambert’s spectacular time with Taylor and Brian May. In it, Taylor says: “Comparisons with Freddie are wasting their time.


“He’s had to cope with it because people are so f**king unimaginative. “Fred’s dead and he’s not going to be [at the shows], so if you come to see us - you’re not going to see him!” He also said that the group were not seeking to “recreate” Mercury when they asked Lambert to join them. “We’re not trying to recreate our Freddie,” he said.

“So if people do think that, I haven’t patience with them, and please don’t come. “But if you want to just enjoy our music, done really well, please do come. “There are a lot of Fred impersonators around and they put on a fake moustache and a yellow jacket and it’s… good luck, you know? Good luck on that cruise ship.” Along similar lines, archive footage showed May saying: “We want our music to be alive and dangerous and still open to change.
