American Idol star Adam Lambert is reportedly being considered as an on-tour singer for legendary rockers Queen, according to Billboard.
The iconic group have been searching for someone fit to fill the boots of original vocalist Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991, and are desperate to get back on the road for the first time since they worked with Paul Rodgers in 2008 – and, after impressing drummer Roger Taylor when they performed together at the MTV European Music Awards, it looks like Lambert could be the perfect candidate.
“He has grown into a really great performer with an astonishing voice with a range that's great,” Taylor said. “We would like to work with him again. There's nothing signed just yet but we're talking about live dates. It could be very exciting.”
In other Queen news, a biopic about Queen and their iconic ex-frontman is now in the works and will be called ‘Mercury’, starring Borat’s Sacha Baron Cohen.
