Adam Lambert has been touring Europe this summer with iconic rock band Queen and the band have nothing but praise for the vocal powerhouse and former 'American Idol' runner up.

Speaking to Virgin Radio in Italy, legendary guitarist Brian May explained that their latest European run will be a little different than previous jaunts because as a band they're tighter than ever and they feel comfortable enough now to mix up the setlist:

"The world is our oyster, we can do whatever we want, and this guy can sing anything! So we're looking at some new ideas. It's a big show, it's a big show. We know each other better now. We've evolved as a band, I think we have much more confidence and an ease with each other now."

During a previous interview in Poland, Lambert explained that he loves performing with Queen because they give him artistic freedom with the material: "His songs and Freddie's legacy... they gave me a lot of freedom. There's not a lot of boundaries within the material. I mean, Freddie was super theatrical and camp, he was dramatic... his voice was really dynamic. There's nothing in this material that encourages me to hold back at all."
