Brian May recalled the instant chemistry he felt when he first met Queen’s current singer, Adam Lambert.

The ABC documentary about Queen + Adam Lambert, titled The Show Must Go On, premiered last night. Good Morning America previewed some clips from the film a couple days ago, showing Brian May and Roger Taylor discussing what it was like to meet Lambert.
