Roger Taylor says Adam Lambert has an Elvis Presley-like aura

Roger Taylor thinks Adam Lambert has an Elvis Presley-like aura.

The 70-year-old Queen star has heaped praise on Adam, describing him as a "complete joy to work with" and has even likened him to Elvis.

Roger said: "He’s a complete joy to work with. Incredible voice. Incredible professional. And a great sense of humour, which always makes it more fun for us onstage.

"I can’t imagine doing it with anyone else now. He’s just great. He’s been a joy."

Adam, 38, started collaborating with the iconic band back in 2011, and has since performed with them during several worldwide tours.

Roger thinks Adam has developed a unique on-stage presence over the years.

He told Rolling Stone magazine: "He has this gift. He has this fantastic charisma on-stage, sort of this Elvis thing. It’s like Camp Elvis as opposed to Camp David.

"He’s just great. I can’t say enough great things. He’s also a great friend and a neighbour in Los Angeles."

Meanwhile, Roger thinks he’s been in a fortunate position amid the coronavirus pandemic, as he’s been able to relax at his beach house in Cornwall, South West England.

Asked about his quarantine experience, Roger shared: "I’m one of the lucky ones.

"We have a beach house down in Cornwall, which is the south-west corner of the UK. We have a lot of space there and so it wasn’t so bad.

"But like for everybody, it was a strange, worrying, anxiety-filled experience. We just didn’t know what was going to happen next, and we’re still kind of in that position."
