Interview: Adam Lambert Says Brian May and Roger Taylor Made Joining Queen Easy.
Queen + Adam Lambert is back by popular demand, set to return this summer for a North American tour. The pop star and former “American Idol” standout Lambert dropped by Q104.3 New York’s “Jim Kerr Rock and Roll Morning Show” to talk to Jim Kerr and Shelli Sonstein about his lifelong relationship with classic rock, his second place finish on “Idol” and how he ended up collaborating with Queen.
Lambert is wholly positive about his “American Idol” experience; he says, in fact, that his Queen courtship began on the show after the band made a guest appearance to perform “We Are the Champions” with the contestants.
