Queen, Adam Lambert Bringing Rhapsody Tour To Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, PA - Following the blockbuster success of the biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Queen is hitting the road next year for a summer tour that will include a July 31 stop at PPG Paints Arena.

Queen co-founders Brian May and Roger Taylor will tour with former “American Idol” performer Adam Lambert, who has performed with the band in place of late lead singer Freddie Mercury since 2009. The band’s lineup will also feature keyboardist Spike Edney, bassist Neil Fairclough and percussionist Tyler Warren.

“This is a great opportunity,” May said in a statement. “Our last tour featured our most ambitious production ever, and got us our best notices ever. So we decided to rip it apart and get even more ambitious. Watch out, America.”

Tickets for the tour will go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Dec. 7. Queen and Adam Lambert fan club pre-sales will run from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Dec. 6.
