Queen guitarist Brian May predicts that his friend Sam Ryder is set for "almost unendurable fame."
May took to Instagram to salute the UK's 2022 Eurovision star for his acclaimed performance on the BBC's New Year's Eve celebration concert in London which includes cameos from The Darkness' Justin Hawkins, former Spice Girl Mel C, and Norwegian pop star Sigrid.
Posting a video of Ryder taking
from the crowd, May wrote: "Our buddy Sam Ryder totally smashing it on the (our old!) New Year spot. That was a tour de force, Sam. And you trading guitar licks as well as vocal licks with virtuoso pal Justin Hawkins blew me away. And your album is GREAT ! Welcome to almost unendurable fame !!!
Happy New Year, folks. Bri".

I still haven't made my mind up about Sam Ryder. He's a good singer, but perhaps a better performer, if a little hyper! He also seems to be a pretty competent guitarist, but, to me, he doesn't seem to have found his 'niche' as an artist and needs to be careful he doesn't end up as a cabaret type star - unless, of course, that's what he's aiming for.
If there was any ever suggestion of it, could he potentially fit in with Queen? Comparing him with AL, I do still think Adam is the stronger all round vocalist, and was outstanding on the recent tour.
