Adam Lambert’s Glitzy “I Want To Break Free” Cover with All-Female Band

The gays and the girls have always made a phenomenal alliance, but when Adam Lambert covered Queen’s “I Want To Break Free” with an all-black, all-female rock band live at the YouTube Space in New York, the result was simply amazing.

Wearing silver platform boots and a black pinstripe suit, Adam Lambert infused his rendition with towering levels of glitz and glam. His dynamic voice brought fresh, authentic twists to the song’s melodies, reviving the 80s hit with vibrant energy and respect.

At 38, Adam Lambert delivered this incredible live cover to promote his fourth studio album, *Velvet*—a record filled with powerful anthems, funk, and his signature “butter-melting” vocals. For those who have followed Adam’s remarkable rise to stardom, this outstanding Queen cover was hardly a surprise.

Despite narrowly missing the American Idol crown, Adam later revealed to *Entertainment Weekly*, “I knew I was going to make an album whether or not I won,” referring to his debut album, *For Your Entertainment*, which featured his highest-charting solo single to date, “Whataya Want From Me.”
