Queen will be able to tour with lead singer Adam Lambert

The Queen wants the singer Adam Lambert is the new singer of the band during the forthcoming tour.

Lambert is famous for being one of the finalists of American Idol, the television show where he had the opportunity to accompany the band with fellow finalist Kris Allen.

Billboard says the drummer Roger Taylor revealed they were in talks with reality show star, having been impressed with their interpretations of classic themes of the Queen, The Show Must Go On and We Are The Champions at the MTV European Music Awards last November.

Taylor has said: "He grew up to become a great artist with a surprisingly powerful voice. It is not signed anything but we are talking about dates of performances can be very exciting. "

Previously it was thought that the band was in talks with Lady Gaga on the possibility of it becoming the new vocalist. At the time the guitarist Brian May described the star as "very creative" and would like to work with her again.
