A display of solidarity
Last updated 21st Apr 2020
Queen + Adam Lambert have performed an alternate version of Queen’s 1977 anthem ‘We Are The Champions’ from quarantine.
The split screen video sees Brian May, Roger Taylor and Adam Lambert perform a unqiue version of ‘We Are The Champions’ from their respective homes with the lyrics slightly tweaked to “you are the champions” in a display of solidarity during the coronavirus pandemic.
All three band members shared the two-minute video to their respective Instagram accounts, with Brian May writing: “#youarethechampions. This version is for those of you who like things to be the right way up!”
