Queen's Roger Taylor: 'Adam Lambert is scintillating on stage'

Queen star Roger Taylor has spoken out in praise of Adam Lambert.

The British rockers are currently touring with the US singer and they have been performing with him for a few years.

Speaking to the Sunday Telegraph, drummer Taylor noted similarities between the former American Idol man and their late singer Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991.

He said: "'He is absolutely scintillating on stage, a voice in a million, and the same was true of Freddie.

"There are almost frightening similarities, especially socially, as an overtly gay man full of wit and banter."

Queen and Lambert meanwhile will open their UK tour tonight (January 13) in Newcastle.
