<\/div>\n

Queen<\/a> + Adam Lambert<\/a> performed a scaled-back quarantine version of \u201cWe Are the Champions\u201d in an Instagram video posted Monday on their respective accounts. And they made one simple \u2014 yet significant \u2014 tweak, changing the titular pronoun from \u201cwe\u201d to \u201cyou\u201d in a display of solidarity.<\/p>\n

The clip unfolds in a split-screen format, with Lambert flanked by guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. They play a no-frills take in this trio format, eschewing the bass guitar, rich harmony vocals and layered guitars of the studio cut. After struggling to get in sync, they lock in for the song\u2019s triumphant chorus, with Lambert altering the lyric on the second go-round.<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

May has remained active on social media during the coronavirus pandemic: offering a <\/span>tutorial<\/a> on how to play the \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d guitar solo, sharing performances of other classic tracks and <\/span>challenging fans<\/a> to accompany him on the band\u2019s 1984 tune \u201cHammer to Fall.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The guitarist also urged fans<\/a> to self-isolate. \u201cI feel this might be THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I EVER POSTED,\u201d he wrote on Instagram. \u201cThere is so much false information out there \u2014 people saying the CoronaVirus is not a threat \u2014 even that it doesn\u2019t exist. And our own Government has failed to act promptly, acting on catastrophically bad advice, which will eventually be the cause of thousands of deaths.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lambert is set to appear in the GLAAD livestream Together in Pride: You Are Not Alone<\/a>, set for Sunday, April 26th on the organization\u2019s YouTube channel and Facebook page. The event, which highlights the LGBTQ community\u2019s response to COVID-19, also features appearances from Billy Eichner, Kathy Griffin, Lilly Singh and Bebe Rexha, along with performances by Kesha and Melissa Etheridge.<\/p>\n
