Queen + Adam Lambert
November 3, 8 p.m.| American Airlines Center
While there’s no replacing Freddie Mercury, if you’re going to continue to tour and need a frontman with the pipes to do him justice, Adam Lambert has proven time and again he’s up for the job. The former American Idol contestant has a string of his own hits, but he has toured with the the surviving members of the venerated glam rock band for the last 12 years. They’ll play their second of two shows in Dallas Friday, singing “We Are the Champions” just in time for that Rangers win. Get tickets
