Adam Lambert returning to 'American Idol'

The former San Diego vocal dynamo will guest Feb. 18 & 19 on the TV series that made him famous. A tour with Queen may be looming.




Adam Lambert is returning to "American Idol."

The former San Diego vocal dynamo will guest on the TV series that made him a national star on Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 18 and 19. His second-place finish in 2009 earned him a major label record contract, a devoted following and a spot as the lead singer in the legendary English rock band Queen, which may embark on a U.S. concert tour with Lambert later this year. (We'll have more on that in a moment.)

Lambert and 2006 "Idol" alum Chris Daughtry will be featured together on Tuesday and Wednesday's editions of the show. Both will serve as mentors on "Boot Camp," a new competition phase of the show that will be overseen by former "Idol" mainstay Randy Jackson. The camp is a two-day workshop designed to familiarize viewers with this year's 30 "Idol" semi-finalists before the show's live episodes begin airing and the viewer voting period kicks off.

It remains to be seen if this season will also see the return of other "Idol" alums, such as Chula Vista native Jessica Sanchez, who came in second on the show in 2012 and released her debut solo album last year.

However, the show's two new executive producers, Evan Prager and Jesse Ignjatovic, appear amenable to such a possibility. "We're always open to that," they told The Hollywood Reporter last month. "We collectively love the idea of bringing previous 'Idols' back to the show."

Now, back to the possibility of Lambert touring with Queen.

In an interview last week on England's BBC Radio 2, Queen guitarist Brian May suggested that U.S. shows with Lambert could happen as soon as this summer.

After collaborating with two of Queen's three surviving members for one song on "Idol" in 2009, Lambert first performed in concert in 2011 with Queen, whose original lead singer, Freddie Mercury, died in 1991. Lambert also performed a a few shows with Queen in 2012 and another with the band last fall in Las Vegas. He seems to fit in well with May and Queen drummer Roger Taylor.

"We've been talking to Adam Lambert," May told BBC Radio 2. "You know, we've already done some gigs with Adam, who is amazing. We (Queen) are ongoing, we can't help it. I think we all protested too much in the sense when Freddie 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. So, no matter what you call it, Roger and I do do stuff, and I think we'll be doing some more stuff this summer in fact, probably in the States."

Randy Jackson on 'Idol's' Adam Lambert, Chris Daughtry: 'I Thought They Could Win'

The newly appointed workshop head discussed his boot camp in the Feb. 18 episode, theme twists and how he would work with Simon Cowell again.

American Idol viewers will welcome back three familiar faces next Tuesday, as the show will debut its first-ever "boot camp" episodes with Randy Jackson, Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry.

Speaking with reporters on a conference call Thursday, Jackson said that the idea is something he had wanted to do for a while -- and alumni Lambert and Daughtry were his first choices to helm the concept. The longtime Idol mainstay said the workshop, as well as other new changes, will help the show, which needed what he called "a refresh."

"I wanted to have them there," he said. "They were actually in the trenches as people we were judging … and they can tell it from a completely different side. The two of them are so different, but they are also so equally, really, really talented. Both of their seasons, I thought both of them would win."

Jackson said his 35-year career as an artist, record producer and manager (among many other trades) will come into play as a mentor, and he thought the presence of the former contestants would be a great indicator for the season's hopefuls that even if bright talents don't win their respective seasons, they can still have noteworthy music careers.

Also, their appearances are a testament to Idol's track record of discovering talent, unlike other singing shows, he said. "[Idol is] the only show that can say we have successful contestants from this format. … I don't know if any of those other shows will be on 13 seasons."
