Adam Lambert: 'My new album isn’t a goodbye to Queen at all'

Adam Lambert has insisted that he is still involved with Queen despite the imminent release of his next solo album.

The singer fronted the iconic band on tour across the world in 2014 and 2015.

The US star is due to release his new album 'The Original High' in the spring, but he told Hunger that Queen is still on his mind.

He said: "I’ve been so lucky to share the stage with these legends and reconnect with audiences all around the world. I take great pride in our sold out world tour. It has been the ultimate outlet for my love of larger than life, glam rock, pomp and circumstance. This was some of the very reference material that inspired me at the start of my career in the music industry.

"'For Your Entertainment' was my modern pop take on glam rock. Stylistically, my new solo materials has moved in a different direction. I am looking forward to launching a new chapter that will explore another side to my personality. I don’t think of one taking a back seat to the other – they’ve coexisted beautifully.

"Our tour was a live collaboration, for which I was Queen’s grateful guest. Now that it’s over, I have my third album to release and promote. But this isn’t a goodbye to Queen at all. In fact, we are headlining Rock in Rio this September. For now though, my focus is shifting to my upcoming album."
