With the U.S. leg of his Original High Tour jumping off Tuesday night in Huntington, N.Y., Adam Lambert is waiting to see if a couple years of playing Queen will turn rockers into Glamberts.
"Probably, yeah," Lambert tells Billboard. "The interesting thing about being on tour with them was that I saw such a cross-section of different ages and races and genres. It was a very broad audience, and that's sort of similar to what I see at my shows. I see kids. I see their parents. I see their parent's parents. With (Queen) it really came down to me just having to prove it, that I had a right to be there, which is good. I like a challenge. It's easy to write off somebody from a TV show talent competition but...I think we were successful."

Original
High is Lambert's first U.S. trek of his own in nearly five and a half
years, and with a whole new album of material in his pocket (last year's
The Original High) and a Queen song ("Another One Bites the
Dust"), he's anxious to re-establish his own name on stage. "It's
definitely long overdue," he says. "What's exciting about this is
there's a lot more production to it. There's a lot more special thought
given to the set and how it goes and how it looks and how it feels, so
I'm really excited. And this album is something I'm really proud of. I
think it represents my personality really well, but more than that I
think it actually represents people. I think it represents us. I think
it represents what people are experiencing right now."Read more at LINK
