I have so much going on.
I’m writing and recording here in London,
and I’ll be doing some more in LA when I get home.
I have a couple of big announcements to make
that I can’t really talk about!

Adam on New Music, Plans for Next Year
Pop star and part-time Queen frontman Adam Lambert is here to present the artist of the year prize. He's just back from Australia, where he's been judging The Voice.
He spoke about that - and his plans for new music.
What's it like judging a TV talent show?
There’s a real balance that you have to strike between constructive criticism and keeping it light and fun.
You got your start on American Idol. Is it weird to be on the other side?
It was strange. I’d see contestants walk on and think to myself, "Oh yeah, I know what they’re gong through right now". Sometimes they would try to sing and I could tell their nerves had got the best of them. So I would say, "OK, take a deep breath... What else do you have?’ Because sometimes you just need a second shot.
What are your plans for next year?
I have so much going on. I’m writing and recording here in London, and I’ll be doing some more in LA when I get home. I have a couple of big announcements to make that I can’t really talk about!

Big Things on the Horizon for Next Year

At 4:20 Adam: "I have some big things on the horizon for next year that i can't reveal just yet."
Adam Lambert was the dish we all knew he was. Obviously…
How was performing on ‘The X Factor on Saturday?
It was so much fun. Saara is exactly as you see her on camera. She’s sweet and genuine and down to earth. We had such a lovely time together.
Were you disappointed she didn’t win?
The way I look at it, if you make it to the final you’ve kinda won in a way. I was the runner up when I was on idol. You get to the end of a show like that, you’ve sung every week, you get to show the world what you’re capable of, you’ve gained a bunch of fans. There’s really no losing.
Are you working on new projects?
I’ve started writing. I’ve done some stuff here in London. Some demos. And I’m gonna keep writing when I get back to L.A. I have good ideas brewing. It’s like sketches that come to life.
What’s the best thing that’s happened to you in 2016?
I got to do my own tour of ‘The Original High’. I was really proud of putting that together. I worked really hard and was really involved in the creation of it.
Three words to describe 2016?
Surprising. Rewarding. PARTY!
Adam on his new friendship with Robbie Williams:
I spoke to Robbie last night and he’s in great spirits. He’s my new friend. He’s so excited for potentially doing some more performances next year. I can’t really say much more than that but he’s in a great place.
What plans do you have for Christmas?
I’m going to go home and just chill the hell out. I’ve worked hard all year, touring and travelling. I just want to chill with friends and family and absorb 2016 ‘cos it was kinda crazy, wasn’t it?

Adam Shines in “Purple Acid Wash” Ensemble
Q3 note: The fabric is not Acid Washed it is Moire – and looks like silk.
Adding to the male guest list was rocker Adam Lambert - who jazzed up the traditional suit look with a purple acid wash tailored ensemble.
Having placed second on American Idol back in 2009, the rocker has since garnered a following in the UK after touring with rock legends Queen.

Speaking on the carpet about his close friend Brian May, who recently cancelled his solo tour due to 'persistent illness', the singer confirmed the iconic guitarist was getting back on track.
He said: 'I spoke to him the other night and he's in great spirits. He's so excited for potentially doing more performances next year, I can't really say much more than that but he's in a really good place.'
Not the only big British name Adam has mingled with however, he also gushed excitedly about recently meeting Robbie Williams - who has been calling the young rock singer 'beautiful' for years.

The singer explained of their meeting in Australia: 'I had heard things about Robbie for years, about how amazing he was and how lovely he was.'
'We finally got a chance to meet and we instantly hit it off, he's such a cool guy. He was talking to me about his wife and child and I think we're gonna try and hang out in LA. I wanna meet his baby!'
Having toured all over the world across the duration of the year, as well as making an appearance in Fox's Rocky Horror Picture Show, it is no wonder that the Indiana native is ready for some much-needed rest this Christmas.
He laughed: 'I'm gonna go home and chill the hell out. I've been working all year, I've been touring, I've been traveling, so I'm gonna go home chill with friends and family and try and absorb 2016 because it was kind of a crazy year.'

Adam Lambert says Brian May is in "great spirits"
The Queen guitarist was forced to cancel his 2016 tour dates after battling with a "persistent illness" but the ‘For Your Entertainment’ hitmaker says the musician is "in a really good place" at the moment.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz on the red carpet at the BBC Music Awards at ExCeL London, he said: "I spoke to him the other night and he is in great spirits and he is so excited for potentially doing some more performances next year. I can’t really say more than that. But he is in a really good place."

Adam Lambert wants to collaborate with ‘X Factor’ runner up Saara Aalto.
The ‘For Your Entertainment’ hitmaker – who duetted with the singer on the ITV talent show on Saturday (11.12.16) – is keen to work with the Finnish star again and feels their duet on the weekend "was meant to be".
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz on the red carpet at the BBC Music Awards at ExCeL London, he said: "A collaboration? Who knows but it is always possible. She is absolutely lovely. She has been tweeting me weeks before this all came out. It was meant to be I feel like, she is lovely!"
Meanwhile, Adam previously revealed he is "open" to recording new music with Queen after joining the iconic rock group’s guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor on stage for the last few years.
He said: "I’m certainly open to anything. If something sounds cool and it’s the right thing to do at the right time, then I’m game … I haven’t heard anything like that come up … They might ask me. I might be on the shortlist!"
However, Adam understands that some Queen fans may not want to hear new music under the band’s name and accepts he cannot replace late frontman Freddie Mercury.
He explained: "Maybe it’s an issue of, is that Queen without Freddie? To me, Queen is (Freddie) … that’s why we’re billed as Queen plus Adam Lambert. I’m their guest who’s filling in by singing these songs and having a great time doing it. But it’s not necessarily Queen."
