Continuing in my phase of being into movies based on real life - this one is an actual documentary. The Show Must Go On is about how Queen and Adam Lambert became a thing.

Probably the majority of the movie is about Queen, which makes sense, because they obviously have more history than Adam does, but a lot of focus was on how they struggled after Freddie Mercury died. It was apparent even nearly 30 years later, how devastated they were when they lost him, not just because they *lost* their band, although that was a part of it.

There were tons of interviews with other musicians, especially ones who had tried to perform with Queen over the years. And also Joe Jonas? And Rami Malek. And also lots of music journalists, insiders, and producers. And plenty of interviews with Freddie.

This isn't to say that Adam Lambert isn't given his fair amount of screen time, but it's proportional. They talked to his parents, and Simon Cowell, among others. There's plenty of clips from American Idol Season 8, which gave me all the feels, and flashbacks to back in those days.

The movie has footage of Queen + Adam Lambert (not enough! I NEED more!!). Which, yes, he isn't Freddie. But he's Adam and that's plenty wonderful.

Highly recommend. I found it on Netflix.

Adam singing Who Wants to Live Forever <-- *chills*

And Brian May seems like he must be one of the *kindest* people on the planet.
