Queen drummer Roger Taylor thinks Adam Lambert is a perfect match for the band.

The US star has fronted the veteran rock group on tour for the last few years.

Speaking to Time Out Shanghai, Taylor said Lambert manages to both reflect late singer Freddie Mercury and provide something new.

He said: "He does bring himself, but he has a lot of things in common with Freddie Mercury.

"He has an incredible sense of humour, which is very important, and he has an incredible vocal range - and those two things really make him perfectly fitted for Queen. It's a delight really for us.

"Rather unexpected - Brian and I didn't expect to still be working under the name Queen - but this is our fourth or fifth tour [with Adam Lambert] now and we've found ourselves absolutely loving it."

Queen and Adam Lambert will perform in Shanghai on September 26.
