Former “American Idol” finalist Adam Lambert will join rock band Queen as its lead singer this year. Lambert reportedly told the British tabloid Daily Star that he will, in fact, hit the road this summer with original members guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor to play a string of dates, including one at Knebworth in England, where Queen played their final show with the band’s original frontman Freddie Mercury in 1986.
Lambert, who previously performed with Queen at the MTV European Music Awards last November, said that he had “no intention” of trying to replace the Mercury.
