During the 41st Annual Kennedy Center Honors in 2019, Adam Lambert, known for his role as the lead singer of Queen and his success on “American Idol,” delivered a powerful rendition of Cher’s 1998 hit “Believe.”

This prestigious event celebrates a lifetime of artistic achievements and was broadcast from the Kennedy Center Opera House in Washington, D.C., on December 26, 2018. Lambert’s performance served as the highlight of the evening, paying tribute to Cher, one of the honorees.

Lambert reimagined “Believe,” shifting it from its original upbeat and rhythmic style into a heartfelt ballad. Cher was visibly moved to tears by his emotional interpretation, which resonated deeply with the audience.

Cher was profoundly affected by Lambert’s performance, and a few weeks after the event, she took to Twitter to express her feelings, describing the rendition as “BEYOND COMPREHENSION.”
