Another brilliant Queen + Adam Lambert show in Tokyo tonight (14 Feb) ended their Japanese tour on a high!
Here's a nice moment when Adam noticed a fan's banner on the barrier - somebody's night made, I think!
More photos to come tomorrow.
Wow - Queen + Adam Lambert were just phenomenal on the opening night of their acclaimed Rhapsody Tour, postponed twice and finally hitting the UK with a cracking opener in Belfast! So well worth the wait, and sheer joy from start to finish!
Another brilliant
@QueenWillRock
+ Adam Lambert show comes to an end - last night's one at Madison Square Garden in New York was fantastic.
I do hope that "gesture" is accidental, Mr Taylor!!
#QALMSG1
Just a few highlights of Queen + Adam Lambert’s show at the O2 Arena in London last night. A much closer perspective for me this time, and boy could I feel the heat of the fireworks!
As it's my birthday I thought I'd share this photo of
@DrBrianMay
with you because, well, sometimes I just like to gaze at the photos I've taken of him over the years so this is my birthday treat to myself! It's an old one from the 2016 European tour. Happy memories.
The unique and inimitable talent that is Mr Adam Lambert onstage in Melbourne tonight (20 Feb). He has been performed with Queen in two decades now!
#QALMelbourne2
Wow - Queen + Adam Lambert were brilliant tonight in Baltimore! They kicked off their North American tour in style, with new additions to the set list, sparkling new outfits (4 October) and surprises galore. I can’t put into words how great they were - but they ALWAYS deliver!
Wow - Queen + Adam Lambert put on a simply wonderful show tonight at the Tokyo Dome! I had just a restricted view seat quite a distance from the stage so these are the best I could manage. But what a night!
For my final (for now 😉) Queen + Adam photos I thought I'd celebrate the other musicians sharing the stage with the main 3 chaps. So folks, I give you Tyler Warren, Neil Fairclough & Spike Edney. Great musicians all of 'em!
And of course a quick pic of the "main 3"!
O2 18 June
The first of Queen + Adam Lambert's shows at the O2 in London and yes - Dr May wore THAT jacket tonight - simply splendid!
Not a very good photo, but it was such a thrill to see it after its debut on TV last night!
At last - some photos from last night's Queen + Adam Lambert show in Belfast! Another simply amazing show, with Brian May absolutely excelling himself as guitar legend extraordinaire, and Adam Lambert dazzling, sparkling and nailing those vocals in his own inimitable way!
Swirling and shimmering -
@adamlambert
onstage tonight (14 July). He's the consummate live performer and I've neve seen him give any less than 💯!
#QALsanjose
I should build up to this but I can't wait because
@DrBrianMay
just blew me away with this amazing outfit! I actually gasped out loud - simply magnificent, Dr May!
#QALvancouver
An amazing second night for Queen + Adam Lambert in Manchester!
One of the things I've loved watching over the 10 years they've worked together is the chemistry that's developed between him and the original members of the band. This tweet is dedicated to that!
The best of friends - a lovely moment at the end of an amazing show full of style, surprises but most importantly musicianship of the highest order. Queen + Adam are truly a band at the top of their game!
A handsome male Ring-necked Parakeet in Kensington Gardens, London on Saturday. Sometimes it's hard to believe that these gorgeous colourful birds live and breed right here in the UK. Definitely my

Another brilliant show by Queen + Adam Lambert in Melbourne tonight (20 Feb)!
I love watching (and capturing) the interactions between Adam and Brian on stage - it's obvious from watching them how much they enjoy being on stage together.
#QALMelbourne2
Another great night at the O2 in London in the company of Queen + Adam Lambert!
One thing that shines through as brightly as the lights is the love and respect they have for each other. Long may it continue!
I LOVE this book by
@CarlBovisNature
! The photos are stunning & the text is a joy to read - I can imagine I’m there watching the birds with him. Top marks for packaging too - the book arrived with NO bent corners as can often happen when ordering by post!
As well as being a rock legend
@DrBrianMay
is also very humble - here he is being genuinely happy to be on the receiving end of
@adamlambert
's warm words of praise. Their mutual respect for each other is lovely.
Adam Lambert - sparkling, stylish and not a bad singer either!
Teasing you all of course - I am still in awe, after dozens of QAL shows, at his amazing his voice and how perfectly he fits right in with this amazing band!
#QALMelbourne1
Usually when I post photos of Queen + Adam shows I start at the beginning & work through them in more or less chronological order. But I felt Dr May's stunning new (to me) shirt warranted being posted first. It goes without saying he played brilliantly of course!
#QALMelbourne1
That wonderful new outfit
@DrBrianMay
wears during Bohemian Rhapsody makes him look every inch the rock star he's been for well over 40 years!
#QALSanJose
Another great show by Queen + Adam Lambert tonight (12 October) at Madison Square Garden, New York.
A sad night for Sir Brian though, who had just lost his dear friend and protector Phil Webb. Condolences to everyone affected by his passing. RIP Phil.
Queen + Adam Lambert on top form in Copenhagen last night. The onstage chemistry between Adam & Brian is a joy to see - they’re having such a good time, they’re having a ball ....
Wow! Queen + Adam Lambert’s second show at Madison Square Garden tonight (13 October) was another amazing musical and visual feast! Thank you, gentlemen, for everything!
Wow! Queen + Adam Lambert’s North American “Rhapsody Tour” came to a close last night in a brilliant second show at the BMO stadium with their usual style, passion and ROCK! Oh how I’ll miss the thrill of seeing this, my favourite band, live. For now anyway ... I hope!
The planets - sweet!
At the end of his mesmerising solo, Dr May comes back down to earth and to the end of the catwalk. He is quite simply a maestro!
#QALChicago
In celebration of this man’s 75th birthday today (19 July) here’s a photo from QAL’s second Copenhagen show. I think I enjoyed it more than any of the other shows of this current tour. I’ll post some more photos in the morning.
#HappyBirthdayBrianMay
What a spectacular opening to Queen + Adam Lambert's Las Vegas residency - called "The Crown Jewels" this show is certainly that!
#QALcrownJewels
#QALVegas
Back at the O2 in London for some more Queen + Adam Lambert - the best live band in the world right now!
Adam's outfits are all wonderful but Dr May's are too - here's a new dark sparkly shirt, and how did I only just notice the cutout parts of the sleeve of the black shirt?
Some more from Queen + Adam Lambert’s stunning show in Baltimore last night.
What strikes me is how happy the band are on stage - and I DO love to see Sir Brian’s smile! The rapport between him & Adam is a joy to see. But Adam - is there REALLY a bike under all those lights?!!
Wow - Queen + Adam Lambert royally rocked the Royal Arena in Copenhagen tonight (17 July)! It was good to be back seeing my favourite band live again - I’d been getting withdrawal symptoms!
Adam Lambert onstage at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver last night during the opening show of the brand new Rhapsody tour. This man redefines "sparkling" !!
#QALVancouver
Better late than never! Just a few pics from Queen + Adam Lambert’s brilliant show in Boston (15 October). Another night of wonderful music by a group of musicians who wow audiences wherever they go!
Some May magnificence from tonight’s (5 October) Queen + Adam Lambert show - their second one in Baltimore. I love to see him enjoying the show as much as the audience do!
What can I say about this man that I haven't already said?
@DrBrianMay
was brilliant last night and obviously enjoying himself - I love to see this characteristic smile of his!
#QALVancouver
I think
@adamlambert
has surpassed himself, outfit-wise, on this tour with
@QueenWillRock
! And also musically .... and everything else!
From last night's show at Madison Square Garden.
#QALMSG1
The moment when
@DrBrianMay
emerges out of the mist in an almost other-worldly way is simply masterful!
From last night's show at Madison Square Garden.
#QALMSG1
Adam Lambert in action tonight at Madison Square Garden! (Second night). When he moves round the stage every kick, every arm gesture, every dance move is in perfect time with the beat of the music. It's so great to watch!
#QALMSG2
Terrific trio - Queen + Adam Lambert rocked the United Center in Chicago tonight (9 August). A really special show, although to be honest they all are!
#QALChicago
I had a different view for Queen + Adam Lambert's show in LA tonight (11 November) and what a night it was, in the open air on a mild (to me) November evening!
During a QAL show
@adamlambert
always pays a respectful tribute to Freddie Mercury. And on what would have been Freddie's 72nd Birthday he led the audience in singing happy birthday to him.
#QALCrownJewels
#QALCrownJewels3
They are the Champions - another triumph for Queen + Adam Lambert in Chicago tonight (9 August). It's always a privilege to see one of their shows!
#QALChicago
Aaah - the acoustic moment. A chance to reflect, to smile, to cry....... and to sing "Love of my Life" which this fine gentleman does so beautifully.
#QALsanjose
Huge congratulations to
@DrBrianMay
on his knighthood for services to music & charity - here he is in those roles, on stage this summer & campaigning for wild animals with his Save Me charity in 2015. I am so happy for him and he thoroughly deserves this honour!
#SirBrianMay
Relaxing with a well-earned glass of wine at last night's book launch -
@DrBrianMay
stands beside his original skull guitar, the one that appears in Queen's "It's a Hard Life" video. Cheers Dr May and thank you for a devilishly good evening!
Happy birthday to this man - the wonderful Brian May. It's always a joy to see him in his element, on stage with his faithful companion the Red Special. Wishing him many more happy and rockin' good years! 🎸
Brian May at tonight’s launch of his new book “Stereoscopy is Good For You”. And I have to say I agree with him!
Over 100 different photographers from around the world have contributed to the book and I’m very proud that 3 of my photos are in it.
