Adam Lambert

Jennifer Lopez‘s stint as a judge on ‘American Idol‘ may be coming to an end, and if the singer does not return next season, ‘AI’ execs are said to be looking at Adam Lambert to fill her spot.

Adam Lambert scored the gig of a lifetime when he was asked to sing for Queen at 2012 Sonisphere Festival in Europe. But the former ‘American Idol‘ contestant confirmed that while he is beyond stoked to perform with the rockers, it’s “just Adam doing a cool gig” and nothing more. He is not considering himself to be the heir apparent for the late, great Freddie Mercury.

After what seems like countless rounds on the rumor mill — and just as many denials — the worst-kept secret in pop music has finally been officially confirmed: Adam Lambert will perform with Queen this year.

Adam Lambert has some big shoes to fill! The ‘Better Than I Know Myself‘ singer will be touring with legendary rock outfit Queen this summer.

Fans now have a clearer picture of what to expect from Adam Lambert‘s next album ‘Trespassing,’ thanks to Australian DJ Byron Cooke, who heard half a dozen new tracks during a listening session and spilled the details on his blog.

Hot on the heels of his single snippet of ‘Better Than I Know Myself,’ Adam Lambert announced today that his new album, ‘Trespassing,’ will hit shelves on March 20, 2012.
