Live Review: Adam Lambert – 5th June 2023 – Royal Albert Hall, London, UK
4 min readFresh from appearing on stage at the weekends pop-frenzied Mighty Hoopla festival as a guest of Beverly Knight to perform Tina Turners I Can’t Stand The Rain, Adam Lambert has taken some time out of his work fronting rock giant Queen to focus on his own solo material. The former American Idol turned pop icon was back in the capital on Monday night to deliver a powerful set for fans at the beautiful confines of the Royal Albert Hall.
We’ve seen Lambert perform several times over the years – both as a solo artist and as the current front man of Queen – and something that has always left us speechless at every single one of his shows is the power and skill in his voice. It is seriously second to none in the current pop sphere. His ability to manipulate his voice and bend so effortlessly and powerfully around notes is something quite incredible to hear live along with a charismatic stage presence that comes so naturally to only the very biggest and brightest of musical superstars!
