The set will be designed by Ric Lipson of Stufish Entertainment Architects, while the lighting will be designed by Rob Sinclair. Video content will be produced by Sam Pattinson of Treatment Studio, Rolling Stone reported.
Despite his experience with Queen, Lambert revealed that he is still sometimes wary of filling in for the \u201cirreplaceable\u201d Mercury. Before his first show with the band, he feared that fans wouldn\u2019t accept him as a guest with the band.
\u201cIt was always my hope that audiences would understand that I\u2019m up there just excited to sing great music that everyone knows. And also to facilitate an opportunity for Brian [May] and Roger [Taylor], to keep being onstage and playing,\u201d Lambert told People.
The singer went on to praise Queen for all their hard work and expressed how honored he is to perform with them.
\u201cWatching them delight in this connection with their fan base is really, really inspiring. This is what they were made to do; this is their legacy. And I\u2019m just happy to be a part of it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
