Queen guitarist Brian May has revealed that the band are likely to play in the US this summer with Adam Lambert.

The vocal powerhouse has teamed up with the British rockers sporadically over the past few years, with their last gig taking place in September.

More live shows this year have been mooted and May told BBC Radio 2 that it looks like some dates might take place in the summer.

He said: "We are ongoing, we can't help it, I think we all protested too much in the sense when Freddie went and we didn't want to talk about it and didn't want to be Queen for a while. But after a while you realise that people wanna hear the songs and see us do things. So, no matter what you call it, Roger and I do do stuff and I think we'll be doing some more stuff this summer in fact, probably in the States.''

When asked about Adam Lambert, May said: "We've been talking to Adam Lambert, you know we've already done some gigs with Adam, who is amazing."

The axeman added that previous Queen frontman Paul Rodgers is unlikely to work with the band again.
