Guitarist Brian May said: "We’re very sad to announce the postponement of our summer shows in Europe, although, in the present crazy state of the world, it cannot be a surprise to our fans.
"Those incredible scenes at our concerts just over a month ago now seem like an impossibly distant dream."
Queen and Lambert have reassured fans that all tickets purchased for the original dates will still be valid for the revised show dates, which have been scheduled for matching or similar dates in 2021.
