Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga Rock Out With Queen To Perform ‘Another One Bites the Dust’

Imagine the scene: a vast stage under the starry Sydney night, the electric anticipation of tens of thousands, and then—Lady Gaga herself, shimmering like a dream, gracing the stage alongside Queen + Adam Lambert. If someone had told you this was going to happen a decade ago, you might have chuckled at their fanciful imagination. But lo and behold, dreams, especially the rock and roll ones, do come true!

Now, let’s take a step back and marvel at the journey of Adam Lambert. This chap rose to fame on “American Idol,” wooing audiences with his vocal prowess and theatrical flair. But his destiny wasn’t merely to bask in reality TV glory. Nope, destiny had bigger plans: to rock the global stage with none other than Queen. Lambert caught the eyes (and ears) of Queen’s own Brian May and Roger Taylor during his Idol stint. And just like that, the stars aligned for Lambert to stand where the late, great Freddie Mercury once did, not to fill those legendary shoes but to shine in his own spotlight, honoring the music that has transcended time and space.

And then there’s Lady Gaga, who might as well have walked right out of a Queen fan’s dream and onto the stage. Known for her own grand theatrics and powerhouse vocals, Gaga’s inspiration from Queen runs deep. Fun fact: her stage name was inspired by their hit song “Radio Gaga.” Fast forward to today, and Gaga’s fame rivals that of the iconic band. With an Academy Award, 11 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, and an Emmy Award already in her trophy case, this pop chameleon is proving she’s not slowing down.

So, when Gaga and Lambert joined forces to perform “Another One Bites the Dust,” it was nothing short of historic. This track, from Queen’s “The Game” album, was penned by bassist John Deacon. It defied all odds, becoming Queen’s best-selling single, with whispers of its release only made reality thanks to the prodding of Michael Jackson himself. Talk about royal intervention from the King of Pop! Despite Deacon not being the most spotlight-hogging member of the band, his creation hit the airwaves and made history, climbing to number 34 on Billboard’s All-Time Top Songs list.

A thrilling moment, wouldn’t you agree? And it just goes to show, sometimes our wildest rock and roll fantasies come to life in the most spectacular way. What a time to be alive!
