Adam Lambert 24/7 News

Eddie is riding laps on a motorcycle inside the grand foyer of Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s castle when Adam Lambert appears dressed in an identical Eddie costume. “I’m right here,” he says. “Surprise!”

A stunt double is handling the hog on the Toronto set of The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do The Time Warp Again while the American Idol alum, who plays the role made famous by Meat Loaf in the rock musical’s TV remake, has been getting primped in grimy biker gear: mud-caked boots, a ripped grey T-shirt and a strappy leather sleeve crowned by a glorious mullet. He compares the look to a leather daddy.

“This isn’t fully out of the realm of something that I would own,” he says. “But not as muddy.”
