Queen and Adam Lambert were named Band Of The Year last night at the tenth annual Classic Rock Roll Of Honour. The event, sponsored by Classic Rock magazine, took place last night (11/4) at the Avalon in Hollywood.
Upon receiving the award, Adam admitted working with the legendary Queen made him nervous, “At first it freaked me the **** out – but then I started learning from them.”
Afterward, Adam tweeted:
We won!! So excited to win band of the year w @QueenWillRock at the #ClassicRockAwards !!
