Live Around The World is released worldwide on October 2nd on CD, CD/DVD, CD/Blu-ray and Vinyl.
After the pandemic saw the band forced to postpone their UK and Europe tour dates, they felt it was “the perfect time”.
During lockdown, the band hosted the Queen and Adam Lambert Tour Watch Party on YouTube, which saw an hour-long show of live highlights.
Following the virtual experience’s success, the band saw that a live album was right for the times and for fans.
Roger Taylor said: “We hadn’t really watched those clips before, we were always too busy touring.
“We weren’t aware of how good the band sounded.
“So we thought, well, maybe there’s a live album of highlights of concerts that we’ve done over the last eight years with Adam Lambert to be made.”
While Brian May enthused: “As we all grapple with the challenge of creating live shows in a world dominated by a formidable viral enemy, it seemed the perfect time for us to create a collection of hand-picked live highlights from our Queen shows over the last 7 years with our brother Adam Lambert.”

The Queen guitarist continued: “It’s a first!
“As you watch and listen to these tracks you’ll be journeying all around the world with us, and experiencing a complete virtual live set.
“The collection climaxes in Sydney earlier this year when, in support Fire Fight Australia, we recreated the complete Queen Live Aid set.
“It was a historic event for a great cause – with perhaps the highest adrenaline level since the original Live Aid in 1985.”
May added: “It makes me particularly happy that we can now share this unique moment with the whole world.”
While Adam Lambert said: “When we couldn’t tour this year we wanted to give the fans something in place of that, and a Live album just felt right.
“It’s the first time we have released an album together and we have had a lot of fun putting it together, picking out favourite performances over the past seven years.”
