Queen guitar player Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor landed in Israel on Sunday afternoon ahead of their concert with Adam Lambert on Monday evening at Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park.

Queen and Lambert first joined forces in 2009, when May and Taylor served as mentors on American Idol's eighth season. Lambert, one of the competitors on the show, performed Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" on his audition for the show and ended up finishing second.

May and Taylor were impressed by Lambert and performed "We Are The Champions" with him at a later stage of the show.
Lambert then went on to launch his career, seeing some success. In November 2011, he performed with Queen again at the MTV Awards in Belfast.
