It was just announced that Queen and Adam Lambert will be releasing their first-ever live concert album!
The 38-year-old former American Idol contestant has been performing with the band since 2009 and now they’ve performed 218 shows around the world with a total audience of 3,659,232 people.
The Live Around the World album will be released on October 2 as both a live concert album and a live concert Blu-ray/DVD. The idea for the live album came after the brand presented an hour-long YouTube show of live highlights from previous tours.
“We hadn’t really watched those clips before, we were always too busy touring,” Roger Taylor said in a statement. “We weren’t aware of how good the band sounded. So we thought, well, maybe there’s a live album of highlights of concerts that we’ve done over the last eight years with Adam Lambert to be made.”
Adam added, “When we couldn’t tour this year we wanted to give the fans something in place of that, and a Live album just felt right. It’s the first time we have released an album together and we have had a lot of fun putting it together, picking out favorite performances over the past seven years.”
