Adam Lambert will return to American Idol this week.

He will fill in for usual judge Keith Urban, who is currently grieving after the death of wife Nicole Kidman's father.

American Idol wrote on their Twitter account on Monday (September 15):

"Adam Lambert will be serving as guest judge at the NY auditions. Our thoughts are with Keith and his family during this difficult time."
