Queen + Adam Lambert

With a career of more than 40 years, British band Queen has accumulated quite the impressive list of hit songs, album sales and awards, thanks to the work of Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon (retired), though a lot of the credit goes to Freddie Mercury, the man behind the voice and many of the songs. Since Mercury's death in 1991, Queen has never offically split up, and the other members have made hits and bombs, both together and on their own, whether they're getting along or dealing with in-fighting. The latest incarnation of the band features lead singer Adam Lambert, who's known for competing in the eighth season of 'American Idol', where he came in second place before starting his solo recording career.
