Rock royalty is heading back to the spotlight. Queen legends Brian May and Roger Taylor are reuniting once again with powerhouse vocalist Adam Lambert for their long-awaited return to North American stages—their first tour across the continent in four years.

Announced as The Rhapsody Tour, the 14-date run begins in Baltimore this October and will crescendo in Los Angeles by mid-November. Fans can expect a full-throttle 150-minute set packed with Queen’s timeless anthems—from “We Will Rock You” and “Don’t Stop Me Now” to “Somebody to Love” and “Radio Ga Ga”—alongside deeper cuts that loyalists have long cherished.

For the band, the magic isn’t just in the music—it’s in the shared connection with fans. “Every night, those two and a half hours belong to the people in front of us,” said May, 75. “We give them everything we’ve got. It’s a rush—and if it ever stops being fun, that’s when we’d stop doing it.”

Lambert, 41, echoed the sentiment, calling the live experience electric. “The audience is the fuel. Seeing thousands of people singing their hearts out—there’s nothing like it. It charges you. It keeps you going,” he said. “It’s kind of addictive.”

While their energy on stage remains legendary, Taylor, 73, joked that he’s content preparing in his own classic style—no intense vocal warm-ups for him, just a splash of Irish whiskey and a Diet Coke before showtime. “Adam’s vocal rituals are impressive,” he said with a grin. “I’m happy to cheer him on from the side.”

Though Queen + Adam Lambert toured Europe and the UK last year, this marks their official North American return after a pandemic-forced hiatus. Since their last outing, all three musicians have kept creatively busy: May reissued solo projects, Taylor released his first solo album in nearly a decade, and Lambert unveiled High Drama, a genre-hopping collection of cover songs.

But for May and Taylor, this collaboration with Lambert remains more than just a touring act—it’s the revival of something they once thought was gone forever.

“After Freddie passed, we assumed Queen was finished,” May shared, reflecting on the band’s loss of Freddie Mercury in 1991. “We didn’t look for a new singer—we didn’t think it would ever happen again. Then Adam appeared, almost out of nowhere.”

Their first meeting came in 2009, when Lambert, then a contestant on American Idol, stunned audiences with his soaring range and theatrical flair. “His voice is something else. There’s really nothing like it,” said May. “And the look—the glam, the sparkle—he was born to wear diamonds.”

But what makes Lambert a true fit for Queen, the band says, is his reverence for Mercury’s legacy without trying to imitate him.

“He doesn’t try to be Freddie. That’s so important,” May noted. “He honors him, as we all do, but he brings his own interpretation to every song. That’s the magic—he makes the music new again.”

Lambert agrees, calling their creative partnership a “team effort.” “Freddie laid the foundation for all of this. He was one of a kind. I don’t try to replace him—I just try to exist in the space he created, and have fun with it. From what I’ve heard, he loved a bit of mischief too.”

The camaraderie between the trio is evident on and off the stage. “Adam’s kept us young,” joked May. Lambert fired back with a laugh: “I’ve introduced them to eyeliner and high heels.”

Taylor, meanwhile, offered a more serious note on Lambert’s contributions. “Having a voice like Adam’s at the front of the band—it gives us confidence. We can trust him to carry these songs and make them soar.”

As for any talks of retirement? Don’t count on it.

“No way,” May said definitively. “To be able to do this at the level we’re doing it, and still love it—it’s a blessing. Why would we stop? I’ll probably keep doing this until I drop.”

The American Idol alum and Queen singer’s currently playing the Emcee on Broadway, and turned Studio 6B into the Kit Kat Club.

Life is a Cabaret for Adam Lambert.

In September 2024, the Queen frontman and American Idol alum joined the latest revival of the Kander & Ebb musical, making his Broadway debut as the Emcee. And Lambert transformed The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon into the Kit Kat Club on February 10, performing the emotional number, “I Don’t Care Much.”

Adam Lambert brought Cabaret‘s Kit Kat Club to The Tonight Show with “I Don’t Care Much”

Backed by a live band, Lambert belted the ballad while bathed in green light. As his effortless, velvety vocals washed over the audience, he transported them to Cabaret‘s seedy Berlin nightclub setting. Lambert released “I Don’t Care Much” as a single back in December, even filming a music video for the track at the Kit Kat Club where the Broadway revival is performed.

Talking with The New York Times in December, Lambert described “I Don’t Care Much” as a “real emotional moment of struggle with indifference” for his character, adding that the Cabaret team “were so kind to raise the key to make it more of a torch song for me.”

When the “Whataya Want From Me” singer visited TODAY in November, Al Roker asked Lambert why he decided to tackle the iconic role of the Emcee. Lambert revealed it “was definitely on a shortlist of parts I’ve always wanted to play, mainly because he’s just weird and wild and wonderful.”

“It’s a bit of an abstract character, he’s a kind of like a narrator. He welcomes the audience in and then guides them through this story,” he explained. “And the story of Cabaret is a big surprise for a lot of people. They don’t know necessarily know what they’re in for.”

Lambert succeeded Eddie Redmayne in the role, for which The Day of the Jackal star received a Tony nomination.

Colm Keegan recently shared a nostalgic moment with fans by posting a clip of his 2012 performance of “Katie” with Celtic Thunder, calling it one of his favorite memories from the group’s Legacy tour. The live rendition, filmed in Dublin, remains a fan favorite and continues to gain views on YouTube.

While Colm stepped away from Celtic Thunder in recent years to focus on solo projects and family life, he’s set to return as a guest performer for the group’s 2025 “An Irish Homecoming” tour. Fans are speculating that classics like “Katie” could be brought back into the setlist for the upcoming shows.

Colm has also collaborated with his wife, cellist Laura Durrant, on a live album titled “Live From Dublin.” The project includes a mix of traditional Irish songs and new material, offering a nod to the performances that defined his time with Celtic Thunder.

Interest in “Katie” has seen a quiet resurgence, fueled by fan nostalgia and renewed appreciation for the emotional depth of the song. With Colm’s return on the horizon, many are hoping the iconic ballad will find its way back to the stage.

Robbie Williams has once again shown his emotional depth on stage, this time with a powerful performance of “Through Our Love,” turning a concert moment into an unforgettable tribute to Liam Payne. As fans gathered expecting the usual energy and charm of a Williams show, they were instead met with an intimate and heartfelt scene as Robbie paused to honor the former One Direction star, who has recently been facing personal struggles.

As the opening notes of “Through Our Love” began, the crowd quieted. Robbie, visibly moved, took a breath before launching into the song—a track not commonly included in his live setlists. Midway through the song, thousands in the audience began softly singing along, turning the performance into a collective act of support. The tribute came shortly after Robbie had publicly shared words of compassion for Liam, praising his honesty and strength in confronting addiction and anxiety.

Fans on social media described the moment as “spine-tingling” and “unforgettable,” with many commenting on the bond between the two artists, both of whom have spoken openly about mental health battles. Some attendees claimed the tribute was not originally planned, pointing to Robbie’s spontaneous energy and genuine emotion throughout the song.

While “Through Our Love” may not be among Robbie’s chart-toppers, this rendition has earned a special place in the hearts of fans. By using the stage as a platform for empathy and unity, Robbie reminded everyone that even global stars are human—and that music remains one of the most powerful ways to connect, comfort, and heal.

At the 2024 Breakthrough Prize Ceremony—often dubbed “the Oscars of Science”—the atmosphere was electric. Nobel-caliber discoveries had just been honored, but the real surprise came when Adam Levine stepped onto the stage… and behind the grand piano was none other than David Foster.

Two powerhouses. One from the world of pop. One from the symphonic heights of production. One shared language: music.

The pair delivered a soul-stirring rendition of “Hard to Say I’m Sorry”, the classic Chicago ballad co-written by Foster. With Levine’s unmistakable falsetto gliding over Foster’s elegant keys, the performance brought a hush over a room full of physicists, mathematicians, and Silicon Valley giants.

It was intimate yet grand. Under a constellation of lights that mimicked galaxies, the moment became a bridge between emotion and intellect—a reminder that discovery isn’t only about data, but also about the human condition.

David Foster, in his element, played with the precision of a scientist and the heart of a storyteller. Levine, stripped of stadium gloss, gave one of the most vulnerable, vocally pure performances of his career.

When the final chord faded, the applause was instant—and it wasn’t polite. It was thunderous. Some even said it was the first time they’d seen scientists give a standing ovation without peer review.

The Voice returns on Monday, February 3, with brand-new coach Kelsea Ballerini sitting in the iconic red chair alongside returning coaches Michael Bublé, John Legend, and Adam Levine. The Maroon 5 frontman is returning to the show as a coach for the first time since his 2019 departure.

Bublé is riding high off his Season 26 win with Sofronio Vasquez, while John Legend is vying for his first win since Season 16 with Maelyn Jarmon. Levine previously won Season 1, Season 5, Season 9, so you know he is ready to put together a winning team for the first time in ten years.

It’s become tradition for The Voice coaches to perform a song together before the season begins and this year, they really delivered!

The Voice Coaching Quartet Performed Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer”

The video begins with John Legend playing that piano with his fellow coaches, Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, and Adam Levine standing around him.

Levine kicked off the song with a solo that garnered loud cheers from the audience, who clearly missed him on this stage! Bublé and Ballerini harmonized perfectly to the next few lyrics before the “Cowboys Cry Too” singer sang her solo.

Legend accompanied the whole song and gave some extra soul to his solo before Bublé put his crooner sound on this classic song.

At different points of the song, each coach could be seen thoroughly enjoying themselves and also looking visibly impressed by each other’s talents.

Fans in the audience were loving every second of the performance and so were fans at home. See some online reactions:

“When John, the Legend, is at the piano, you know it’s going to be a great performance.”

“Forget the contestants. I can just listen to the judges! Fabulous performance. Made me smile. Can’t wait for the new season with judges like the four of them.”

“Vocally this is the best performance by a judges panel EVER.”

“Wow, wow, wow. Four gorgeous voices singing one of my favorite artists’s songs.”

In a night filled with dazzling lights, soaring vocals, and delicate royal undertones, Adam Lambert delivered a performance that quickly became the most talked-about moment of the royal social calendar. The private concert, held inside the grand royal concert hall, brought together not only musical brilliance but also members of the royal family whose complicated histories made the night all the more charged.

As Adam Lambert took the stage, his bold presence — black vest, tattoos glistening under the spotlights — contrasted beautifully with Kate Middleton’s elegant poise in a flowing white gown. Together, they delivered a breathtaking duet that no one in the audience saw coming, their voices blending with remarkable chemistry as the room fell into captivated silence.

But while the stage commanded the spotlight, many eyes shifted quietly to the front row. Sitting just feet away from the performance was Meghan Markle, the Duchess who had famously stepped away from royal duties. In a rare and surprising seating arrangement, Meghan sat beside Prince William and her husband, Prince Harry — a visual that immediately sparked whispers across the room. Despite years of reported tension, the trio appeared unusually at ease, exchanging soft smiles and brief whispers throughout the emotional performance.

Meghan’s face revealed layers of quiet emotion — a mixture of admiration, nostalgia, and an almost unspoken bittersweetness as she watched Kate and Adam share the stage. Cameras carefully captured her subtle glances, fueling speculation about how deeply the moment may have resonated for her.

The unexpected reunion under such intimate and artistic circumstances added a complex emotional depth to what was already an unforgettable musical evening. For a few rare minutes, music, royalty, and fragile family ties collided under one stage, creating a moment that left the audience — and the world — unable to look away.

In a moment that felt like heaven touching earth, world-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli stood beneath the soaring arches of Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal on a golden autumn afternoon, October 12, 2024. The occasion was profoundly personal—the wedding of René-Charles Angélil, eldest son of music legend Céline Dion, held in the very city where her voice first became iconic.

Bocelli, a longtime friend of the Dion family, called the invitation “a sacred honor,” and chose to perform “The Prayer”—the very song he once sang with Céline, now offered as a blessing for the next generation. As his voice rose through the cathedral’s centuries-old nave, the stained-glass windows seemed to shimmer, casting quiet beams of color onto the bride’s dress and René-Charles’s tearful smile.

Guests described the moment as “otherworldly,” “divine,” and “like watching two musical legacies intertwine under the eyes of heaven.”

It wasn’t just a performance.

It was a farewell to childhood, a welcome to new beginnings—and a love song sung from one legend to the child of another.

In a concert that defied genre and expectation, two musical giants—Michael Bublé and Andrea Bocelli—shared the historic stage of La Scala, delivering a duet that will be remembered for years to come. Their performance of “Miserere”, sung in both English and Italian, was not just a musical collaboration—it was a masterclass in artistic courage and cultural fusion.

Known for his velvet-smooth jazz stylings, Bublé ventured into Bocelli’s classical territory with reverence and boldness. As his signature croon wove around Bocelli’s soaring operatic tenor, the audience witnessed something rare: a seamless marriage of jazz intimacy and operatic grandeur.

“This is what music without borders sounds like,” Bocelli was heard saying backstage, a smile playing at the corners of his lips.

The orchestration, subtle yet powerful, gave space for the two voices to shine in dialogue—one warm and understated, the other radiant and commanding. The entire hall sat in stillness, mesmerized, as the two men brought new emotional depth to a song long revered in classical circles.

And then came the final note—a moment of pure resonance. A full-house standing ovation erupted, echoing through the majestic opera house with thunderous appreciation. In a city known for its elite musical standards, the message was clear: this performance wasn’t a crossover—it was a revelation.

As one critic in the audience put it:

“Tonight, Milan didn’t just host a concert. It hosted history.”
