The eagerly awaited concert film of Queen + Adam Lambert is set to be released early next week, however, the crew has released an early snippet from Live Around The World on Youtube.

The concert film will feature a selection of songs recorded from over 6 years of Queen + Adam Lambert show footage.

Featured in the sneak preview is 'The Show Must Go On' recorded from London's O2 Arena on July 4th, 2016.

The song originally appeared on Queen’s 1991 LP Innuendo, which was released just months before Freddie Mercury died. “Even though we were all aware of Freddie’s impending tragedy, we had some inspired and joyful times in the studio, making the Innuendo album,” Queen guitarist Brian May said in a statement. ” We didn’t speak much about Freddie’s illness — he just wanted to get on with ‘business as usual’ as far as possible.”

Baby Blue ! I like these ! The first ‘Red Special’ in this colour was made to special order for my dear friend, singer songwriter and guitarist @lynncareysaylor - but they have become popular now. As have the News of the World Robot design models. But what is consistently the best seller by far? The Antique Red, of course! If you’re interested, just search BrianMayGuitars - it’s all there on the Website. Oh -!- and, as you can see, the guitar may not arrive perfectly tuned ! Ha ha ! But it will play just fine straight out of the box. 💥💥💥💥 And - YES - we do make left-handers !

“But already there was only a day or two per week when Freddie was well enough to come in and work with us,” he continues. “We grabbed those precious moments and made the most of them. I’d been working on ‘The Show Must Go On’ as an idea, but I was uncertain whether the title was too obvious. Freddie heard it and loved it and dismissed any thoughts that there was a problem with the chorus or the title. He wanted to work on it.”
