Rolling Stone reported this afternoon that Adam Lambert is now the new lead singer for Queen, replacing Paul Rodgers. Rodgers stepped in for the late Freddie Mercury in the band’s 2005 reunion tour. Lambert, whose second album, Trespassing, is set for release in March, will join the band for a 2012 tour.
NME noted last year that Queen would be releasing a new album of demos with Freddie Mercury’s vocals. Interestingly, guitarist Brian May had told the London Evening Standard that Mercury had recorded duets with Michael Jackson and worked with his estate to release those sometime in 2012.
But for now, Lambert is the new frontman for Queen’s new tour. He had joined May and drummer Roger Taylor in a performance last November on the MTV European Music Awards which should have been a big hint. You can listen to a medley of that performance below.
Wonderful! I love Adam Lambert!
I personally think Mika would have been a better match but Adam is awesome 🙂
Adam never said this. British tabloid started it.
Rolling stone should have known better.

That being said, I’m truly flattered by your jump to such glorious conclusions mr journalist!! 🙂

Honestly in my opinion, I think Queen should just throw in the towle and call it quits,because like the band should even be called queen since Freddy Mucurey died.Â
After listening and watching Adam and Queen during the european mtv awards, I
was mesmerized
by Adams vocals and just his presence on stage. Adams voice is so powerful and his range is
awesome and he certainly is easy on the eyes, I replayed their music over and over and over.ADAM LAMBERT YOU ARE EXCITING.
