Adam Lambert joining Fox's Rocky reboot

Because of course he is! Adam Lambert is joining Fox’s Rocky reboot – Rocky 2020.
The Grammy-nominated singer and former American Idol has signed onto the network’s event movie remaking the 1976 blockbuster movie.
Lambert will play Apollo Creed, the overconfident world champion who makes a dramatic entrance in the boxing ring dressed as George Washington and then as Uncle Sam in the climatic championship bout.
Says Lambert: “I grew up watching Rocky, but could never imagine that I would be part of this new vision. Rocky always made me feel like it was okay to celebrate my weirdness. Hallelujah, bless my soul! I love that old time rock-n-roll!”
Fun fact: Months ago, Lambert was one of the actors being considered for the Rocky role, which eventually went to Orange is the New Black’s Laverne Cox.
New QAL Summer Festival Tour USA Concert Added!!

Queen + Adam Lambert LIVE 2016: USA Concert Announced
Press Release: Queen + Adam Lambert to play in Tupelo, MS in July 2016 - Legendary band to play Elvis’ hometown!
Elvis fans have an opportunity to witness a unique concert when Queen - one of the greatest rock bands of all time -arrives in Tupelo and promise to perform songs from both the Queen and the Elvis catalogs! Queen in its present line up featuring Adam Lambert will play on Main Street in downtown Tupelo on September 26th celebrating the 60th anniversary the historic Elvis concert.
On July 5, 1954, Elvis walked into Sun Studio in Memphis and recorded “That’s All Right” with guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black. DJ Dewey Phillips played the song on July 8 on WHBQ radio and the switchboard lit up. Rock ‘n’ Roll was born and the music world changed forever. Two years later, Elvis returned to his home town and performed a concert.
The Queen + Adam Lambert Elvis Tribute concert will be free and open to all ages. The stage will be placed on the exact spot were Elvis performed his historic home town concert from September 26, 1956. The band will perform all of Queen big hit plus the six song Elvis performed 60 years ago:
-Heartbreak Hotel
-Long Tall Sally
-I Was The One
-I Want You I Need You I Love You
-I Got A Woman
-Don't Be Cruel
-Hound Dog
Here is a video of the original show:

Queen has never performed a concert in Mississippi and this one came about because of a fan letter from a Queen fan and Tupelo resident. The fan’s name has not been revealed at his or her request but that must have been one amazing fan letter.
According to our sources (Twitter and fan posts), Adam Lambert fans have been comparing him to Elvis for years. The resemblance is clear. Adam is also clearly aware of this too.
Guitar player Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor are still present from that original line up. Since 2009 Adam Lambert has stepped into the role of lead vocalist after the passing of Freddie Mercury in 1991. Since 2009 Queen and Adam Lambert have performed at live concerts and television spectacles. Last year the band did a highly acclaimed and sold out 24 date tour of America. This year Queen and Adam Lambert had performed at 26 sold out concerts all over Europe and rest of the world. Based on praising reviews Adam Lambert has proved a perfect fit to assume this demanding role of band front man.
Brian May said, “We decided to do this one US concert because we are fans of Elvis and we think Adam is the new Elvis.”
When asked by the Oakland Press about Adam, Roger Taylor said, “He's sensational. I describe him as almost a camp Elvis [Presley].
Well we can’t wait for this concert. It will be the biggest event in Tupelo since – well since forever!
Adam Lambert’s Glamberts Win Best Fanbase!

After what was a truly nail-biting race to the finish up until the very last minute of the competition, we finally have a winner: Adam Lambert‘s Glamberts have taken the crown as this year’s official winners of our annual March Madness competition.
Congratulations, you are the Best Fanbase of 2016!
The road to the finish line was long and arduous for the fiercely loyal troupe: It all started with 16 capable combatants, as Lambert’s troupe took on 5 Seconds Of Summer‘s 5SOSFAM, narrowly toppling over the Aussie sensations’ fans with just over 50% of the vote. The next round was no less difficult, as Glamberts fought their way through Girls’ Generation‘s mighty Sones, taking their second victory at a little over 51% of the vote.
The two wins clearly ignited a fire: Once the Glamberts matched up against Beyoncé‘s BeyHive, they crushed their competition with well over 64% of the vote. And now — here in this final round — they’ve gone and done it, taking the overall win with 51.3% of the vote against One Direction‘s Directioners.
Congratulations once again, Glamberts! You’ve successfully clawed your way to the top and even stalled Lady Gaga‘s legendary year-over-year winning streak — surely no easy feat. Celebrate tonight!
