Your support makes all the difference.Adam Lambert has shut down rumours of a possible Bohemian Rhapsody sequel, saying the idea of reviving the Queen biopic wouldn’t make sense to him.
The singer – who regularly acts as Queen’s vocalist – was asked about a potential sequel during an interview with NME.
“What would it be? A sequel? How would that work? It doesn’t make sense to me but I haven’t heard anything about it,” he said.
“But I somehow doubt that. Somehow... I don’t know what they would make the movie about.”
Rumours about a potential Bohemian Rhapsody sequel emerged in the spring, after music video director Rudi Dolezal told Page Six of Queen manager Jim Beach: ”I’m sure he plans a sequel that starts with Live Aid.”
Dolezal added at the time that a sequel was being “heavily discussed”.
Bohemian Rhapsody, which stars Rami Malek as Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, became the highest grossing music biopic ever in December 2018, with reported earnings of $608.7m (£480m) around the world.
It earned four Academy Awards in February, including Best Actor for Malek.
