they have been since the day after the Freddie tribute concert .
Brian May seems a decent bloke - and I can well understand he wants to keep the legacy alive - but I wish he’d brand it ‘Brian May plays Queen’ or something similar.
I can’t imagine the Police without Sting, Dire Straits without Mark Knopfler - Queen without Freddie Mercury just isn’t Queen as far as I’m concerned....
Yes - another band in the same boat, for without Jon Anderson or Rick Wakeman or Chris Squire, they aren't Yes.
King Crimson - whilst it's admirable that Robert Fripp keeps the show rolling, it's him and a load of session musicians.
Status Quo - only Francis Rossi remains from the original lineup. Despite doing two Frantic Four tours in 2013/14 with Alan Lancaster and John Coughlan, they never 'reformed'. For a couple of years, Status Quo were actually two bands. I'll give Andy Bown a pass since he's been around for a long time, but still, it's not Status Quo any more. Just a tribute that just happens to have one of the past members fronting it.
The Fabulous Thunderbirds - basically another backing band fronted by original singer Kim Wilson.
Hawkwind - more changes than you can strum on a Sunday morning, but whilst the constant is Dave Brock, is it really Hawkwind?
And I could go on ....
Nah, it's not for me.
Adam did a great job, and I’d don’t think they could find a better man at the moment, He was the singer , but not the front man really, he treats it as a job, he knows he’s never gonna fill Freddie’s role, he stood back when required, I though he got it just right.
i mean....would you turn down that gig !

Rossi should pack it in. I hope Angus and Brian call it a day. TBH the Rolling Stones should call it quits as well because Keef just ain't up to it anymore.
I'm so glad Paul Rodgers has the good grace not to try and use the Free name on any of his projects as that would be unforgivable.
Brain May should have gone out under the name "Brian May and Friends play Queen"
The band were outstanding, engaging and the production was brilliant. I always find it wonderful when a band stop midway through a gig to talk to the audience and have the full attention of the sell out crowd. My wife and I had a very special night seeing them play.
And why should they use a different name? “Brian Mays Queen”? Piss off.
For the record it was actually billed as Queen with Adam Lambert. So there is a differentiation in the two individual acts coming together for these shows.

There is obviously a market for these old bands to keep touring and play their greatest hits but they will always be a shadow of their former selves, often totally over produced.
Maybe Angus and Brian should to what Plant and Page did assuming Brian can get his hearing sorted/protected.
