Brian May shares ‘strangely lonely moment’ during Queen and Adam Lambert tour | Music | Entertainment

Queen and Adam Lambert are around halfway through their North American tour and most recently have been working their way across the South.

A few days ago, Sir Brian May, Roger Taylor and the singer performed in Austin, Texas.

Fans will know that midway through the set, the guitarist does an acoustic set including the ballad Love of My Life.

During this performance, the 76-year-old encourages the audience to light up their phone torches to make a beautiful display in each arena or stadium the band is performing in.

Footage of Freddie Mercury then joins on screen to sing along to the touching lyrics, which is always an emotional moment in the show.

During the performance in the Lone Star State, Sir Brian made a vulnerable confession to fans on Instagram.

The Queen legend captioned a photo of this segment: “Amazing moment with maybe 90,000 friends in Austin Texas. Thanks for your lights ! And your voices. “So near and yet so far. Strangely, It’s a lonely moment too. I’m a long way from home. So thanks for the love. Bri.”

The Austin venue was Circuit of the Americas, a Formula One track which had cars whizzing by as Queen and Adam Lambert worked on their sound check.

The funny moment was captured by Spike Edney, who has been Queen’s touring keyboardist since 1984.

Brian captioned the post: “@spikeedneyofficial got a rocket from me for unauthorised broadcasting on this one … but it IS kinda amusing —- sound checking to the loud accompaniment of F1 racers … and Spike Edney ! So, seeing as it’s out there anyway … Onwards ! New adventures in Atlanta today !!! Bri.”

Queen and Adam Lambert performed in Nashville, Tennessee last night and tomorrow begin two nights in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
