Queen Wants Adam Lambert

Band says glam idol could be their Freddie Mercury.

American Idol runner up Adam Lambert's flamboyant rock style may not have been enough to garner top honors in the contest, but it has caught the attention of one of Lambert's favorite bands. According to Rolling Stone, Queen is considering making Lambert, whom they played with for an episode of Idol, their new frontman. "Amongst all that furor, there wasn't really a quiet moment to talk," Queen guitarist Brian May told Rolling Stone in an interview. "But [he] and I are definitely hoping to have a meaningful conversation with at some point. It's not like we, as Queen, would rush into coalescing with another singer just like that. It isn't that easy. But I'd certainly like to work with Adam."
