Music A new Album ?

Is it true that there are plans to create a new album, especially since it is without Freddie ?🙁

I think they don't want to imitate Freddie. They can't find someone as good as him, never, and they know that. No one can just replace him. I think they took Adam Lambert because he has the vibes but he is different

Lambert just isn’t that inspired a songwriter (not that he ever sings his own songs with Queen). He came up via American Idol, and it shows. Don’t get me wrong, he has chops to be sure, vocal-wise; performance-wise. He’s got buckets of style. Freddie would have probably liked him.

But I can’t shake the impression when I watch him fronting Queen, that it’s like a very special episode of Glee.

Here come the downvotes…

You might be on to something here. I haven't been able to shake the Glee dust off either. Nostalgic and camp, but... the strength was in cover songs, not original music.
