Queen will officially hit the road with Adam Lambert filling in for vocals for the departing Paul Rodgers. Longtime guitarist Brian May confirmed the news to BBC Radio 2.
"We've been talking to Adam Lambert. You know, we've already done some gigs with Adam, who is amazing," he began.
"We are ongoing, we can't help it. I think we all protested too much in the sense when Freddie (Mercury) went and we didn't want to talk about it and didn't want to be Queen for a while. But after a while, you realize that people wanna hear the songs and see us do things."
Lambert and Queen will appear as part of this year's Sonisphere festival on July 6-8 in Knebworth, United Kingdom. They join fellow headliners KISS and Faith No More.
