Queen were last in Australia in 1985 when the late Freddie Mercury was still fronting the band. On their 2014 tour Adam Lambert will take his place.
Lambert first performed with original members Brian May and Roger Taylor in 2009 on American Idol for a performance of their seminal hit We Are The Champions. They next teamed up on the MTV European Music Awards in Belfast for an eight-minute medley and in 2012 they performed a series of shows across Europe as well as dates in Russia, Ukraine and Poland.
Update: a second show has been announced.
