Adam Lambert Becomes Google UK's Top Search After New Year Concert With Queen; Brian May Admits Gig 'High Pressure'

Adam Lambert skyrocketed to Google UK's top searches after his New Year Eve's concert with Queen. Brian May admitted to feeling very high pressure for the gig.

According to Entertainment Focus, the New Year's Eve concert with Adam Lambert and Queen was seen by over 12 million people in the UK.

The band performed perennial favorites such as "We Will Rock You," "We are the Champions," "The Show Must Go On" and more.

Adam Lambert + Queen was the second most searched topics on Twitter all throughout the concert.

"Following the performance 'Adam Lambert' was the most searched for term on Google UK for 24 hours," it said, adding that the New Year's Eve concert "boosted the former American Idol star's profile here in the UK."

Meanwhile, Brian May admitted that Adam Lambert and the rest of Queen members felt the pressure of performing before the huge crowd on New Year's Eve. However, he said that they had fun, according to Unreality TV.

"Thank you for your great comments about that. It was a lot of fun. High pressure of course, because it was completely live and [we had to] do it to time - we had to finish spot on at twelve o' clock," he said.

"But it was great fun and you guys who were there were amazing."

In an earlier interview, with Anti Music, Brian May feels lucky that they found Adam Lambert to front Queen since the "American Idol" alum is "so much like Freddie in many ways."

"But Adam doesn't have to try to be like Freddie, which is the nice thing. He doesn't imitate; he just does his own thing," he said. "We didn't look for this guy, [but] suddenly he's there, and he can sing all of those lines. See, they're difficult songs to sing, Queen songs. There's too much range. So many people can't sing them in the original key - even if they are good singers. Adam comes along, he can do it easy. He can do it in his sleep!"
