Adam Lambert updates about Queen tour plans

Queen + Adam Lambert's upcoming global tour is drawing closer. It starts on June 23 in Arizona and will finish in London on December 15, accumulating in over 50 concerts.

NME spoke to Lambert about how plans are unveiling. The vocal powerhouse said:

"Well, I mean the particulars aren’t quite all ironed out yet, we still have quite a lot creative conceptual conversations.

"The one thing that is moving forward is definitely the look of the stage. That’s been reinvented but it’s all sort of evolving as we speak.

"We were emailing back and forth about how to reinvent the setlist and do it different ways from what we’ve gotten used to doing, and I think its just important.

“We have fans that have come and seen us more than once and many of them that have been around the last four or five years. So it’s important to not feel like were just repeating ourselves, even though we’re gonna still perform the same massive hits that Queen is so well know for.

"We’re trying to put in different context and give different visuals or companions to them. Its going to be fun, I’m excited for the challenge of tweaking the whole show and making it feel new.”

The 'Ghost Town' hitmaker also spoke about how Queen's 'News Of The World' album may have is 40th anniversary celebrated in the concerts. The album features the epic tracks 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are The Champions'. He said:

"Even visually, there are some nods to it. It’s been really cool to use an album anniversary as a focal point for stage design."
