Adam Lambert's Rocky Horror remake to air in October

A remake of the Rocky Horror Picture Show featuring Adam Lambert will air later this year.

The singer plays the role of Eddie in the two-hour Fox production.

The network have now confirmed that fans will be able to watch the show in October.

Speaking recently in a new interview, Lambert said he was initially wary about appearing in a remake of the classic 1975 musical film.

He said: "It's an incredible original film...It's shocking. Especially for then... when I was a kid and I first saw it, I was like 'can they do that?!'

"That was the thing - it is so iconic and such a cult hit that when I heard they were re-doing it, I was like 'ooh, that's a little risky, how are they going to do that?'"

"I thought about it and thought 'well, they haven't announced the role of Eddie, he's in like one song...' and I was like 'I bet we can work something out!' [...] It's fun. I think people are going to love it. It's very sexy."
