Adam Lambert says "connecting" to the audience is one of his main joys in performing.

The singer told Yahoo Celebrity that his favourite song to play live at the moment is his single 'Another Lonely Night'.

This is because he can get up close and personal with his fans.

Lambert said: "[Crowd engagement is] definitely a big part of it. I love the act of connecting and that’s one of the things that I love about doing live shows is that you’re really connecting.

"It’s a shared experience. And I think that song, it really speaks to people.

"It’s about something that we all know no matter who you are, no matter how old or what gender you are, what colour you are, whatever."

The US star continued: "Everybody knows what loneliness feels like. I think the genius of the song is that the lyrics are talking about being in that space, but it’s not a sad feeling song.

"When the chorus comes in, it’s sort of uplifting. It kind of has a groove to it, so hopefully it’s telling people, ‘OK, you’re lonely, but it’s OK, and you’re going to be fine'."

Lambert meanwhile has recorded a song for a new Oreo advertising campaign - check it out here.
