Adam Lambert Confirms Performance With Queen

By alexashton on | From kovideo.net

Earlier in February, Adam Lambert was reported to be performing with Queen at the upcoming Sonisphere Festival. After all, the news made sense. Lambert sang with Queen in the American Idol finals in 2009 and then again at the MTV European Music Awards in November 2011, and the band’s members expressed interest in working with the “For Your Entertainment” singer again.

But, while Lambert denied the earlier reports, he confirmed it on Twitter today. This afternoon, the American Idol runner up tweeted: "As many suspected, I can finally confirm: I have been invited by Queen to sing one very special concert! Sonisphere at Knebworth July 7th! Sorry to be coy about the details the past few weeks, but I made a promise to keep it under wraps as best I could. Gonna be a surreal night!"

At the time English newspaper Daily Star reported Lambert was singing at Sonisphere with Queen, he responded on Twitter, explaining that the writer took his quote out of context and, in fact, was describing his European Music Awards performance. In response to the story, Lambert wrote on Twitter: “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!! :)"

Aside from performing with Queen, Glambert is preparing for his upcoming sophomore album, Trespass. Considered a more personal album, Trespass is said to combine disco with Nine Inch Nails-type sounds and, unlike his hits-driven debut, is better geared toward the dance floor. “Better Than I Know Myself,” the first single, already dropped in December, and the full release is expected to hit stores in March. Dr. Luke, Pharrell Williams, Benny Blanco, and Bruno Mars assisted with songwriting and production duties, while, to communicate his vision, Lambert additionally served as executive producer.
