Queen and Adam Lambert made their much anticipated return to Dallas on Thursday for the first of two shows at American Airlines Center. Lambert joined forces with original Queen members, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor, after May and Taylor were guests on Lambert’s season of American Idol in 2009.
The singer may not have won American Idol, but becoming the lead singer of Queen is more than a consolation prize. Here are the best photos of Queen and Adam Lambert’s Thursday night show in Dallas:
