The shows for Hammersmith Apollo on July 11 and 12 will still happen.

Queen have given priority seating to fans who booked to see them at Knebworth. When tickets go on sale next week, they will go first to the Queen fan club then to the Sonsiphere holders from Knebworth.

Said Brian May: “Somehow this feels right – The Odeon is a big part of our history, and its atmosphere is second to none. It’s the perfect place to acknowledge our faithful fans, and will be a fitting return to our roots!”

Roger Taylor adds: “We had made up our minds to play in the UK this year, so play we will ! Following the collapse of the Sonisphere organisation we didn’t want to let down all those people expecting to see us live!”

Speaking from the US, Adam Lambert said: “I’m so thrilled that Queen found a way to ensure that the fans will get to see this event this summer. I can’t wait to be in London to perform with Queen for these incredibly special shows!”

Tickets for the Queen + Adam Lambert shows will go on sale on April 17 for Queen fan club members and Sonisphere holders and April 18 for general sales.
