Adam Lambert will once again tour Europe with Queen next year!

"We are delighted to welcome Queen back following a six year absence and with an incredible new front man in American Idol's Adam Lambert. This is royally going to kick off 2015 in style," Paul Tappenden, the Metro Radio Arena general manager, announced the two gigs in the venue.

After wrapping up successful shows in North America, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan, the group will have a short hiatus (Queen will release their new album, 'Queen Forever' on November 10) before moving on to their European dates in 2015. The Grammy award nominee has been touring with the legendary rock group as frontman, impressing fans of all generation with his theatricality and impressive vocal range.

The tour was met with some resistance at first. Queen purists thought Lambert wouldn't be able to give justice to the late Freddie Mercury's songs.

However, the American Idol alum proved them wrong. He didn't try to be Mercury and he didn't try to change the songs as well. He sang Queen's songs in his own style while still respecting the original frontman.

With his theatricality that blended well with Queen's, Adam Lambert was able to earn the respect and awe of fans as well as Brian May and Roger Taylor.

"Each time we've worked with Adam with our music, he's just the most incredible front man," Roger Taylor said about the Grammy-nominated singer.

He added, "He's sensational. He has this amazing range, Freddie had a great range. Adam can really cover it. He's an extraordinary singer and a real talent. I feel he fits into our sort of theatricality. It is very comfortable."

They have already wowed European Queen and Lambert fans during their brief tour together two years ago, but this year will be different.

"On the technical side, it's definitely more of a production than two years ago," Lambert said about the 21-date 2015 tour. They will also be visiting more cities than their last tour in Europe.

May added, "We have a very interesting set design. It's big and daring. We're going to do it to the max"

The Queen and Adam Lambert tour at the Metro Radio Arena will be on January 13, 2015, reported Chronicle Live. Tickets for the shows will be available on Friday.

The legendary rock band - which sees newest frontman Adam Lambert joined by founding members Brian May and Roger Taylor - is wanted by the event organisers, and could make their first-ever appearance in 2015.

An insider told the Daily Star newspaper: ''Glastonbury is just one of the possible destination. The band would love to have a go.''

The 'We Are the Champions' hitmakers have never played at the iconic Worthy Farm festival, but it could happen next year following their recently-announced UK arena tour in January as part of a longer trip round Europe.

Meanwhile, frontman Adam - who first performed with the group in 2008 - has revealed he has total control over his style, and isn't forced to emulate the late Freddie Mercury with his on-stage outfits.

He told The Sun newspaper: ''Brian May said Freddie would get a big kick out of me, and as a huge fan of Freddie, that meant the world to me.

''But styling-wise it's all up to me and I like to have a bit of fun with that.''

Yesterday Queen and Adam Lambert confirmed their plans to bring their tour – which has already graced North America, New Zealand and Australia to name a few, over to Europe.

Thankfully for fans, the group will also be bringing their show to the UK for a number of shows at the beginning of next year and they’ve been talking about it already.

For Queen, having Adam Lambert as their new frontman has always been a big deal, they love him and fans of the rock band are adapting to the change.

It seems like the singer has slotted right into place at the front of the band alongside legends Brian May and Roger Taylor and even Lady Gaga would have to agree.

Recently while on their tour of Australia Lady Gaga joined them on stage to perform ‘Another One Bites The Dust’ and has since commented saying that Adam is doing a great job.

Tweeting Adam yesterday Lady Gaga said: “Miss singing with you and Queen! You do Freddie so proud every night, so happy for you!”

We’re sure that fans of Adam Lambert will be just as thrilled that everyone seems to be loving his role at the front of such a big, legendary band.

Commenting on the new shows, Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen told fans that the shows in the UK will be bigger than they’ve ever seen from the rockers.

Roger Taylor said: “On the technical side, it’s definitely more of a production than two years ago. We’ve had a lot more cities to visit and so I think we all decided to build up the visuals and the stage accordingly, and of course we do all the hits.”

Brian May added that the design for their set is interesting, describing it as “big and daring” and he explained that they’re going to take things to the max adding that Adam is “the most incredible frontman”.

Taylor concluded: “He’s sensational. He has this amazing range, ’cause Freddie had a great range. Adam can really cover it. He’s an extraordinary singer and a real talent. I feel he fits into our sort of theatricality. It is very comfortable.”
