Produced by Jim Beach and acclaimed writer and filmmaker Simon Lupton, The Show Must Go On: The Queen + Adam Lambert Story” airs Monday, April 29 (8:00–10:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC prior to Queen and Adam’s already sold-out July/August 2019 U.S. Rhapsody tour.
With rare concert footage and exclusive, revealing portraits of the band members offstage, The Show Must Go On chronicles Queen and Lambert’s incredible journey since they first shared the stage together on American Idol” in 2009. The documentary features brand-new interviews with Adam, his parents Leila and Eber, and Queen founding members Brian May and Roger Taylor, as well as Bohemian Rhapsody’s Rami Malek, and Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins.
Adam will also serve as guest mentor on American Idol which airs the night before on Sunday April 28. The season 8 alum will be on hand to help the Top 8 tackle the Queen catalog. It’s a huge undertaking. But who better to serve as mentor than the man who currently fronts the band? American Idol will air across the country in all time zones beginning at 8 ET/7 CT/6 MT/5 PT. The contestants will also perform movie themed duets. America will vote, and by the end of the night, two singers will be eliminated (or possibly one will be saved by the judges, Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan)
In this clip, Brian May and Adam Lambert talk about performing together for the first time at the American Idol finale.
