On the upcoming live album, Roger Taylor said: “We hadn’t really watched those clips before, we were always too busy touring. We weren’t aware of how good the band sounded.
“So we thought, well, maybe there’s a live album of highlights of concerts that we’ve done over the last eight years with Adam Lambert to be made.”
While Adam Lambert added: “When we couldn’t tour this year we wanted to give the fans something in place of that, and a Live album just felt right.
“It’s the first time we have released an album together and we have had a lot of fun putting it together, picking out favourite performances over the past seven years.”
The Queen and Adam Lambert live album is released on October 2, 2020.
Fans can purchase the record on CD, CD/DVD, CD/Blu-ray and Vinyl.
The news follows their first charity single You Are The Champions, released during lockdown after being recorded remotely.
