British rock band Queen presented its debut show on the Chinese mainland on Sept 27.

With Adam Lambert, an American Idol star, the band performed more than 20 Queen hits, including Bohemian Rhapsody, Seven Seas of Ryhe and Don't Stop Me Now, in Shanghai.

The band's two remaining original members — guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor — looked like they were having a lot of fun.

Lambert's mainland debut in 2013 was sold out quickly and garnered rave reviews in the local media. He sang the band's songs in his own style, while staying true to the original melodies once heard in the voice of Queen's famous lead vocalist and songwriter Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991 after contracting AIDS.

May performed Love of My Life, accompanied by video footage of Mercury. The song was from the band's 1975 album A Night at the Opera.

The band will perform in Hong Kong on Sept 28.
