Adam Lambert could step into Freddie Mercury's shoes

  • December 7, 2011
  • Brad O'Mance

Adam Lambert is 'in talks' with Queen bigwigs Roger Taylor and Brian May about 'fronting' a new live show with the band.

Taylor believes Lambo would be the ideal stand-in for Freddie Mercury, telling Billboard: "He has grown into a really great performer with an aston­ish­ing voice with a range that's great."

The flam­boy­ant (MASSIVELY GAY) singer could step into the role for a number of live per­form­ances following their MTV EMA col­lab­or­a­tion in Belfast this November. The American Idol-winner sang 'The Show Must Go On', 'We Are The Champions' and 'We Will Rock You'.

Taylor added: "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."

Could be shit though let's face it.
