Adam Lambert Addresses Rumors That He's The New Lead Singer Of Queen

Feb 4, 2012 10:10 AM

alambert112011-queen.jpgAccording to a report in UK Star, it seems like Adam Lambert will be Queen's new lead singer, but the American Idol alum has since tweeted that his quotes were taken out of context.

"The intention is to pay tribute to Freddie and the band by singing some f***ing great songs," he reportedly told the mag. "It's to keep the music alive for the fans and give it an energy that Freddie would have been proud of."

However, last night Lambert tweeted, "Oooh them clever reporters takin my quotes outta context.... I haven't confirmed any guest appearances. I was talking about the EMA'S. That being said, I'm truly flattered by your jump to such glorious conclusions mr journalist!! :)"

Lambert previously performed with Queen at the 2009 Idol finals as well as the aforementioned gig at the MTV EMAs. In Star's report, Adam stated that he'd love to hit the studio with the iconic rock band. "It'd be cool to record with Brian [May] and Roger [Taylor]," he said. "Being asked to front Queen is the best thing that can possibly happen."

A rep for Queen's label told Rolling Stone, "The Daily Star item only mentions that Adam may perform with Queen at Sonisphere. This is not confirmed. Nothing has been signed. However, if this were to happen, Queen would be returning to the setting of their final concert with Freddie Mercury, which took place in 1986."

Adam Lambert Debuts "Better Than I Know Myself" Music Video

Feb 3, 2012 11:05 AM


At long last, Adam Lambert's new music video for "Better Than I Know Myself," the first single from his forthcoming album, "Trespassing," has finally been released!

The music video features the American Idol runner-up as both a sweet boy-next-door and as well as a dark and twisted bad guy.

Glambert told the Hollywood Reporter of his new single:

    "The song is basically saying, 'I'm kind of a screw up, I do stupid things and continue to put my foot in my mouth, but be patient with me because I need you around -- you're the only person that gets me. You're the only person I feel comfortable with. You almost know me better than I know myself.' It's kind of an apology and kind of a plea. It's very honest."

In other news, it's been reported that Adam will hit the road this summer to tour with Queen's original members to play a string of dates, and he just might step into Mercury's lead spot!

Lambert's second solo album, "Trespassing," debuts on March 20.

Adam Lambert Back At The AMA's After Boy-On-Boy Kiss During 2009 Performance

Nov 20, 2011 08:56 PM

american music awards red carpet Adam Lambert

We thought it wouldn't happen ... Adam Lambert was BACK at the AMA's tonight after his controversial 2009 performance had reportedly had him banned from the show for life!

Turns out, the media had it wrong. After Lambert kissed his male bass player -- a move that was unscripted, said producers -- during his 2009 performance, ABC received more than 1500 calls from unhappy parents and conservative groups spoke out.

Meanwhile, the show's executive producer, Larry Klein, recently told The Hollywood Reporter, Lambert "was never banned from the show."

Klein went on to say: "That thing got so out of control and was just so out of left field. The kiss wasn't in the script. Did Adam rehearse it on his own and not tell us? I have no idea ... Adam was performing on a stage. Did he get carried away? Absolutely. Was he regretful afterward? Of course he was, but it's over. ABC never banned him and Dick Clark Productions never would."

Not one to wisk down the red carpet without being noticed, Adam spiked his hair as high as it's ever been, donned some sparkly silver pants and a vest, and strutted with the best of 'em, with boyfriend, Sauli Koskinen by his side.

Adam Lambert Will Return To The AMAs This Weekend

Nov 19, 2011 10:34 AM

lambert-amas.jpgGood news for all of you Adam Lambert lovers!

The American Idol alum will make an appearance at the American Music Awards this weekend, and while he won't be performing, he will be presenting an award. Back in 2009, the singer caused an uproar when he kissed bassist Tommy Joe Ratliff and simulated oral sex during his performance of "For Your Entertainment", but it looks like it wasn't such a big deal after all.

“Adam Lambert was never banned from the show,” American Music Awards executive producer Larry Klein tells THR. “That thing got so out of control and was just so out of left field ... We laugh about it to this day." So will Adam perform again in the future? “Adam Lambert is a friend of ours, he's talented and I like everything about him,” Klein said. "We’d absolutely have him back.”

No word on whether Adam will poke fun at the incident, but we'll see soon enough! The 39th annual American Music Awards air on Sunday at 8pm EST on ABC.

Adam Lambert Chats About Madonna, Gay Culture And His New Album

Nov 7, 2011 02:15 PM

Adam-Lambert-out.jpgOut Magazine/Gavin Bond

Adam Lambert is honored in Out magazine’s Out 100, and the American Idol alum slathered on the makeup to re-enact a pose as Elvis Presley from Andy Warhol's iconic print. Loves it!

Adam reveals that Madonna and Michael Jackson were his biggest artistic influences growing up, telling the mag, "They were king and queen. And they both wore just as much makeup and were fabulous in their outfits and had music videos that were theatrical and cinematic, and that’s kind of the type of artist I see myself as—one that wants to create from the ground up, not only an amazing song, but on with a beat and a story and a look and a theme."

So what about his own music? "I want to make the kind of music I would listen to if I were out in a club," he says. Adam is putting the finishing touches on his second album, and it seems like he had far more control over this record than his first. "This is definitely the album that I want to make," he says.

Are you hoping Britney Spears guest stars on Modern Family?

Yes! She has a funny personality and would fit in perfectly on the ABC comedy.
No! She would be horrific on the show and would tarnish its reputation.
Don't know! But it would be a great way for the show to get even bigger ratings.
