Queen + Adam Lambert Unveil North American ‘Rhapsody’ Tour Dates: ‘These Are New Glory Days’

By Katherine Turman

Katherine Turman

• Tool Mesmerizes the Faithful at Madison Square Garden: Concert Review 3 months ago
• Queen + Adam Lambert Unveil North American ‘Rhapsody’ Tour Dates: ‘These Are New Glory Days’ 1 year ago
• ‘The Story of Anvil’: Beloved (but Oscar-Snubbed) Rock Doc Gets Theatrical Re-Release  2 years ago

“These are kind of new glory days for us,” said Queen guitarist and founding member Brian May, who was literally knighted by King Charles III earlier this month. “It’s nice to think that hopefully there will be the demand for that.” 

But the guitarist, along with founding drummer Roger Taylor and singer Adam Lambert , was on the other side of the Atlantic in Thursday, in New York to announce the group’s 14-show North American leg of its “Rhapsody” tour — its first since 2019 — which runs from Oct. 4 through Nov. 11.

The tour follows last year’s 36-date summer tour across the U.K. and Europe, which included a 10-date residency at London’s the O2 Arena and opening the Platinum Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace in recognition of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year reign. 

Shows on the overseas “Rhapsody” tour dates featured around 25 songs plus four encore numbers, and included the hits “Killer Queen,” “Fat Bottomed Girls, “Another One Bites the Dust, “We Will Rock You / We Are the Champions” and the song with more than 2 billion Spotify streams that lent its title to a film and this tour, “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Queen promises some deeper cuts on this jaunt. Lambert says, “I’m not sure exactly what we’ll pull out for this one. Look, I would be happy just to show up and do what I was told if that was how it was. But I’ve been really fortunate to work with these two gentlemen who are very collaborative, and we get to all throw ideas in and work things out. I’m really grateful for that it makes me even more invested in it.

It’s been a decade since the group’s first live American concert, though the first time they performed was in 2009 when May and Taylor were guests on the eighth season of “Idol.” May remembers the first actual American concert in Las Vegas in 2013 for the iHeart Music Festival: “It felt so good both internally and from the [crowd] reaction that we thought, ‘My God, this is something we shouldn’t be letting go.’ I think we foresaw some kind of future, didn’t we? But not quite as big as it actually happened. It’s been colossal.” 

Lambert agreed, “I don’t think I would have imagined that it would have been the gift that keeps on giving.”

The current Rhapsody tour features Queen + Adam Lambert’s regular band members, longtime keyboard player and musical director Spike Edney, bass guitarist Neil Fairclough and percussionist Tyler Warren. Founding bassist John Deacon left the band and effectively retired from music following Freddie Mercury’s 1991 death, and chose not to be present at Queen’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

Despite a 30-year-plus age difference between Lambert, 41, and May, 75 and Taylor, 73, the three have an easy camaraderie that’s evident both onstage and off. Lambert was only three when Queen’s iconic 1985 Live Aid performance rocked the world, but it was something he got to recreate at the Fire Fight fundraiser concert in Sydney, Australia in February 2020, a month before Covid shut down the world.

 As a fan growing up, Lambert was familiar with Queen’s Live Aid footage. “But when it came time to first join the band on stage, I was like, ‘I have to know my stuff’ so I watched as much as I could. Besides Live Aid, one of my favorite things was Montreal concert where Freddie was running around in a pair of itty bitty white shorts and no shoes,” Lambert says. “I just I remember seeing that and going ‘This guy’s amazing.’ He was so free and ridiculous and just full of joy and I’ve been so inspired by that spirit. I try to approach shows with that same humor…”

“And shorts?” Taylor quipped.

“Not the shorts for me — Freddie had much better legs,” Lambert concluded.

A general on sale date for the Queen + Adam Lambert  U.S. tour is March 31, and in light of exorbitant ticket prices and “dynamic pricing,” the band stated in a release that “In an effort to help minimize resale and keep ticket prices at face value for fans, the band are collaborating with the venues’ ticketing partners to restrict the ability to transfer tickets for the Rhapsody tour so that they may only be transferred between fans at the original price.”

QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT THE RHAPSODY TOUR 2023 DATES:

Wed Oct 04 – Baltimore, MD – CFG Bank Arena

Sun Oct 08 – Toronto, ON — Scotiabank Arena

I was also quoted extensively in this terrific piece by Brian Merchant in the LA Times, one of my favorite breakdowns of the causes of the strike.

See full routing below. 

Brian May says, “Our last tour featured our most ambitious production ever. So we decided to rip it apart and get even more ambitious. Watch out world.”  

And Adam Lambert says: “I can’t wait to tour North America one more time with the Rhapsody tour alongside the two unbelievably talented legends that are Brian May and Roger Taylor.”

Queen + Adam Lambert’s 150-minute career-spanning set list celebrates the band’s extraordinary back catalogue, lining up wall-to-wall immortal anthems like “We Will Rock You”, “Don’t Stop Me Now”, “Radio Ga Ga”, and “Somebody To Love” alongside classic deep cuts and vintage fan favourites. Featuring a dazzling state-of-the-art stage design, incredible special effects and set pieces, this sense-swamping extravaganza has been blowing critics and fans away the world over. 

As with last year’s UK and European dates, the 2023 North American tour will see Queen + Adam Lambert supported on stage by their regular band members, long-serving Queen keyboard player and musical director Spike Edney, bass guitarist Neil Fairclough and percussionist Tyler Warren.  

Having extensively toured over the last few years, the Rhapsody show is forever evolving. But it remains at heart a tribute to Freddie Mercury’s majestic legacy, a confirmation of Brian and Roger’s undimmed musical prowess, plus a magnificent showcase for Adam’s vocal skills and electrifying stage charisma, all of which adds up to a glorious full-blooded celebration of one of the greatest songbooks in rock history.

TICKETS: Tickets will be available via a general onsale beginning Friday, March 31st at 10AM local time at LiveNation.com .  

MORE ON TICKETS:  

Queen + Adam Lambert appreciate that it is an enormous task to try and stop scalpers from taking advantage of fans wanting to purchase tickets for the tour. In an effort to help minimize resale and keep ticket prices at face value for fans, the band are collaborating with the venues’ ticketing partners to restrict the ability to transfer tickets for The Rhapsody Tour so that they may only be transferred between fans at the original price. 

Fans will still have protection against unforeseen circumstances. Those who purchase tickets and are no longer able to attend their show will be able to sell their tickets at the price they paid using a face value ticket exchange, including the Ticketmaster Face Value Exchange – which is free to use for buyers and sellers. More information on how the Ticketmaster Exchange works is available here . 

Unfortunately, the states of NY, IL, and CO have laws in place which protect ticket scalpers – these laws prohibit artists from being able to restrict the transfer of their tickets to face value exchanges only. For shows in these states, Queen + Adam Lambert strongly encourage fans to only buy or sell tickets to one another on face value exchanges. More information can be found here , with more details to follow in the coming weeks.

Liv golf's phil mickelson, caleb surratt raid pga tour caddie yard for two veterans, share this article.

LIV Golf’s Phil Mickelson and Caleb Surratt have dipped into the PGA Tour caddie ranks for not one but two regular caddies, sources tell Golfweek .

Mickelson announced on social media that his younger brother, Tim, who had served as his caddie for the past eight years including during the 2021 PGA Championship victory at Kiawah, has retired as his caddie . But he didn’t name a replacement. Golfweek has learned that veteran caddie Jon Yarbrough will be on the bag starting next week at the LIV Golf Miami event and the following week at the Masters.

Yarbrough, who has caddied for more than 20 years and for Scott Stallings for the past decade, won’t be on the bag for him this week at the Tour event in Houston. Yarbrough has previously caddied for the likes of Gary Woodland, Bill Haas, Smylie Kaufman and on the LPGA for Kelly Robbins, Morgan Pressel and Suzann Pettersen. Stallings, 39, made the Tour Championship in 2022 but is winless since the 2014 Farmers Insurance Open and has missed the cut in five of eight starts this season. Stallings is expected to have his swing coach on his bag this week. According to a source, Stallings and Yarbrough are very close, but the amount of guaranteed money offered “was incredible.” Reached via phone, Yarbrough declined to comment.

That’s not the only LIV Golf caddie change. Caleb Surratt, who signed with LIV out of Tennessee earlier this year and joined Jon Rahm’s Legion XIII, has wooed Brian Dilley, another veteran Tour caddie, who had been on the bag of Akshay Bhatia, to take over for him. Dilley is tight with Adam Hayes, the caddie for Rahm, and likely had a role in linking Surratt and Dilley together.

“I’m still learning, growing, and working on everything that I’m beginning to see what I need as a player in order to grow and be able to compete to the highest level, and I think Brian Dilley‘s gonna be able to help me get to that point,” Surratt wrote via text of Dilley, who has worked with Aaron Wise, Billy Horschel, and the LPGA’s Gerina Piller, among others. “He has caddied at an extremely high-level for longer than I’ve been alive, and undoubtably will be a great set of eyes to have on my golf game. Everyone on my team around me, speaks very highly of him, and I’m very excited to get to work with him in the coming weeks. It’s been a very enjoyable ride so far, and I’m excited to keep learning myself, and learning professional golf game, and eventually grow to be one of the best players in the world.”

So, while the defections to LIV may have stopped for the time being as negotiations between the Tour and PIF linger , it hasn’t stopped the league from raiding the Tour caddie yard.

Adam Sandler, Martin Short, More Mourn Joe Flaherty: The ‘Funniest Man’

By Tomás Mier

Some of the biggest names in comedy are mourning Joe Flaherty .

After news broke that Flaherty, best known for his work on the sketch show SCTV and Freaks and Geeks died at age 82 , comedians, including Adam Sandler and Martin Short , shared their condolences and favorite memories of Flaherty in their lives and careers.

Flaherty’s daughter, Gudrun, confirmed his death in a statement with the  New York Times , sharing he died after “a brief illness” on Monday. “Since then, I’ve been struggling to come to terms with this immense loss,” she told the outlet. “Dad was an extraordinary man, known for his boundless heart and an unwavering passion for movies from the ’40s and ’50s.”

“In these last few months, as he faced his health challenges, we had the precious opportunity to watch many of those classic movies together — moments I will forever hold dear,” Gudrun added.

Here’s what several of Flaherty’s friends and fellow comics said following the news of his death:

Adam Sandler

Adam Sandler shared his sadness following the news of Flaherty’s death, sharing a carousel of photos of the late comic.

“Oh man. Worshipped Joe growing up,” Sandler wrote. “Always had me and my brother laughing. Count Floyd, Guy Caballero. Any move he made. He crushed as border guard in Stripes . Couldn’t be more fun to have him heckle me on the golf course.”

“The nicest guy you could know. Genius of a comedian,” he continued. “And a true sweetheart. Perfect combo. Much love to his kids and thanks to Joe for all the greatness he gave us all.”

Martin Short

Editor’s picks, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

“In over 50 years of our friendship, there were very few people as wise or hilarious when it came to comedy, teaching improvisation and the art of character work as Joe,” Short said. “In SCTV we called him the anchor.  In life, he was simply the funniest man in the room.  I just adored him.”

Martin Scorsese

Another iconic Martin shared his condolences for Flaherty: Scorsese said that he “had the chance to meet” Flaherty several times, and also praised his discipline, calling him a “true master of his art.”

“I hope that I was able to express my admiration and my love for his work on SCTV and beyond,” he wrote in a statement to Rolling Stone . “I’ve always been drawn to comedians and comic actors — they have to be disciplined, observant, practiced.”

“It’s no exaggeration to say that they pretty much have to be great. And Joe was great, a true master of his art,” he added.

'Steve! (Martin)' Revisits the Heyday of a Wild and Crazy Comedian

Selena gomez shares sweet tribute to steve martin, martin short: 'best friends to me forever', ‘only murders in the building’ season four: everything we know so far.

“I will truly miss him and always be grateful to have known him. Rest in comedy, Joe,” he added.

Jennifer Tilly

Tilly similarly shared a “TV dad” message, referencing their roles in The Wrong Guy .

“I was so thrilled to be able to work with him. His performance was pitch perfect,” she wrote . “A great comedian. Gone too soon.”

She also retweeted a fan account post of a scene featuring them both from 1997.

Judd Apatow

Apatow described Flaherty’s presence on set as “magical.”

“We were always so excited. We couldn’t believe he was a part of Freaks and Geeks ,” wrote Apatow, who developed and produced the show. “We loved him so much and told him all the time. He made everything he was in so much better.”

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Judd Apatow (@juddapatow)

“Joe was the kindest man, a brilliant actor and a GOAT in the world of comedy. Every moment with him was a treasure,” he added.

Patton Oswalt

Patton Oswalt shared a hilarious clip of Flaherty playing Count Floyd in a 1982 episode of SCTV where he introduced clips of not-so-scary horror films.

In a tribute to Flaherty, Samm Levine, who played Neal Schweiber on  Freaks and Geeks ,  remembered  his co-star, calling him a “comedic legend.”

“Most actors aren’t very interested in rehashing their previous roles. Especially not with their current co-stars. But that wasn’t Joe,” Levine wrote in an Instagram post. “He was ALWAYS happy to talk about old SCTV sketches, Stripes, and his million other credits. Even more, if you asked about something he remembered well, he’d jump right back into character and do the lines with you. A genuine rarity, and absolute heaven for this comedy nerd. He loved being on set, and we all loved being around him.”

Adam Ant’s still ready to ‘Stand and Deliver’ as he nears 70

• Updated: Mar. 28, 2024, 11:21 a.m. |
• Published: Mar. 26, 2024, 8:00 a.m.

• Gary Graff, special to cleveland.com

Forty-five years ago Dirk put on his white socks and Adam Ant was born.

London-born Stuart Goddard became Adam Ant during the punk rock revolution of 1977, forming the band Adam and the Ants and debuting with “Dirk Wears White Sox” in 1979. Despite a false start with the infamous Sex Pistols Svengali Malcolm McLaren, Ant and his Edwardian-attired company became all the rage with hits such as “Antmusic, “Stand and Deliver,” “Prince Charming” and “Ant Rap,” and the persona was strong enough to sustain Ant himself into a solo career that began in 1982.

Since then he’s been more passionate than prolific, with just nine studio albums during these past 45 years -- most recently 2013′s “Adam Ant is the Blueblack Hussar in Marrying the Gunner’s Daughter.” He’s also acted on screens large and small (“Nomads,” “Love Bites,” “The Equalizer,” “Northern Exposure,” “Tales From the Crypt”) and on stage, in “Entertaining Mr. Sloane” and “Funeral Games” and producing the musical “Be Bop a Lula” about early rockers Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent.

Primarily Ant, 69, has been a road warrior; his Friend Or Foe Tour took him around North America and the U.K. during 2019, and he was on the road back in Great Britain This year finds him back on our side of the pond, with show dubbed ANTMUSIC that assures us this rock prince is still charming after all these many years. Her performs Saturday with the English Beat at the Goodyear Theater in Akron.

Tell us about the show?

Ant: After the pandemic, I just want to come back with something that’s a celebration of the entire catalog -- not just the hits but some songs I haven’t played live before out of the catalog and just take a new look on it all.

It’s been 45 years since “Dirk Wears White Sox,” your first album. What’s that feel like?

Ant: I don’t think about the time, really. In the lead-up to a tour I just think about the set I’ve got to do, choosing the order of songs and which songs to put where. That takes quite a bit of time and rehearsal. I’ve got my routine of getting the legs going again and getting in shape for everything, so hopefully by the time I go on stage I’ll be rockin’ ready.

What kind of perspective does that passage of time give you about the career?

Ant: I think I’ve created quite a diverse sort of quality of music. The instrumentation’s different on a lot of songs from album to album. A song from “Dirk” is a completely different kettle of fish than doing one from “Kings of the Wild Frontier” or “Strip” or “Wonderful” or “Friend or Foe.” They’re so different that it’s almost like you have to go back and say, “How’s this gonna work with that? How’s this gonna blend in?”

What accounted for that kind of diversity?

Ant: It’s kind of a lower boredom threshold. With the success of “Kings” I could’ve pretty much stayed in that zone of musicality, but I found that after working the album for over a year and touring and going around the world with it, and you’re wearing similar costumes...After that I wanted to completely start again with a fresh, white page. I look at that with every album and every concept, not just a visual concept but a musical concept as well. Each album was completely different, hopefully, both musically and visually, not just for me but for the audience as well.

What’s surprised you over the years?

Ant: I think hitting in America with the “Goody Two Shoes” single (in 1982). Having a brass section was quite a bit turn for me. I was recording “Goody Two Shoes” in London and there was a group of guys, a brass section, who had just been in there doing a session for somebody and I listened to some of the session they were doing and it was such a completely different avenue of music than anything I’d tried on any of my records before. I thought, “OK, I think I’ll just try with this [sings the horn riff], and instead of doing that on guitar let’s do it on brass. So they tried it and it just sounded really great; these were top-class musicians and they really delivered the goods and we kept it and it sounded great. And then of course we had a new secret ingredient, if you like, to put into the “Friend or Foe” album tracks, and then we made it part of the live show. It was very exciting.

You’ve had that kind of brash attitude throughout your career. Are you generally confident that even the wild ideas will work?

Ant: Yeah. Back then, I think calling the album “Kings of the Wild Frontier” we had to sort of get up some kind of bravado to that and to feel like kings and go out and perform like kings and give it our best shot. In a way we wanted to be the best band around -- not that there’s anything wrong with that. I think it’s something all good bands are; they want to be the best band around, so there’s a healthy competitiveness of really great bands out there.

And there were a lot of those at the time Adam and the Ants crawled out there?

Ant: Oh, definitely. We had the punk scene and the post-punk scene. You had bands like the Stray Cats, for instance, who were my favorite band of all time. But there was some competition there; you really had to bring out your best act on the night, because everybody else would be doing the same thing. You had Dexy’s Midnight Runners and Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran...just a lot of good bands. It was all around us.

Where did the Adam Ant character come from? Was it an extension of Stuart or a completely different kind of person?

Ant: I didn’t look like a ‘70s pop singer, a rock singer; I was sort of skinny. But I used to be a grounds man on the tennis court and get up early in the morning and push a roller up and down a sand tennis court to flatten it. I built up my physique by doing that and doing these sort of physical jobs before I’d go to school. So the shape of me was not waif-like. I liked the name Adam; it seemed to be an appropriate name for someone who looked like I did. And then the Ants came together so I was Adam Ant.

What did the persona allow you to do, or be, that was different from what you otherwise were?

Ant: The best and most useful place to put it was on stage, really, to just immerse yourself in the moment and immerse yourself in the music completely, and then off stage be the opposite of that. I’m quite quiet, really, and just focused on writing the songs. What you saw on stage wasn’t what you saw off stage; off stage I was quite relaxed. I think it would have been too much to try to live with that 24-7.

Other performers have been taken over by their personas, though. How did you keep Adam Ant from taking over the rest of your life?

Ant: It was a sort of balance. I know how to go places. I don’t go to many sorts of events and openings and things like that where I know there’s gonna be people. All throughout that period I just kept to myself, really, apart from the occasional awards event or something like that. Most of the time I was quite happy to be at home with a book. I used to walk a lot. When I was off stage I was focused on writing the music and getting on with the work, which was the most important thing to me. The work was its own reward. I was fortunate in that I was in love with my work -- and I still am.

You turn a certain age (70) in November. How’s that feeling?

Ant: I feel OK. If it’s anything like I feel now, I’m ready to rock, as they say. I still give everything I’ve got on stage; that’s going to be different now, but I still feel there’s a lot of energy to use up on stage and I try to use all of it I’ve got every single night.

With all the years of experience you have now, what would you tell that kid who put the war paint on 45 years ago?

Ant: I’d say go for it -- and I pretty much would’ve done the same thing, anyway. Nothing would have stopped me from going for you. You throw a certain caution to the wind. You’ve got to go for the adventure. You’ve got to pursue it and create the opportunity. That’s the art of it, creating the opportunity and then being ready to take it when it’s there and give it everything you’ve got.

Adam Ant and the English Beat perform at 8 p.m. Saturday, March 30 at the Goodyear Theater, 1201 E. Market St., Akron. 330-690-2307 or GoodyearTheater.com .
