album all together, entitled INNUENDO...it was almost an epitaph for Freddie's adieu, meaning
so much, yet saying so little. It was a sad sad One...I grieved and cried for many days, whether listening to the album or not. And so did the world!
I was lucky enough to have been able to attend several of their gigs featuring Fred (their frontman and primadonna!), plus the fact of having the honor to interviewing them once (talking with Freddie,Brian, and Roger), in SanRemo, for the song festival, during the release of their album (I received the vinyl from the Recording company) entitled THE WORKS (release date: February 27, 1984). This was their 11th studio album, and I love it: it also has *Radio GaGa*, which they performed at the song festival of San Remo, written by Roger Taylor.

Queen were: Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon...Some changes over the years, following Freddie's death, plus John Deacon's *retiring* in 1997. For a while they had Paul Rodgers as lead singer, until they bumped into Adam Lambert (American Idol finalist), and...it was Magic!
They have been performing together since 2011, Adam is the most suitable Person--for many reasons--to fit in Freddie's place, in my opinion (that's also what Brian and Roger said). He has stage presence, an awesome voice that reaches peaks similar to Freddie's, and is the missing piece to the Band. So now it is Queen+Adam Lambert.
They will be in Italy (brought by Barley Arts, Claudio Trotta management), on June 25, 2016, performing at the Anfiteatro Camerini, in Piazzola del Brenta, near Padua. Tickets cost 82 Euros and can be bought online, also with Ticketone.com.

They will...will Rock You...Rock You!
No one will ever replace Freddie Mercury, and his memory will always be with you, me, them, and the future ones to come...
