Adam Lambert keen on Queen, but won't rock only

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - Will he, will he rock you?

Adam Lambert won't rule out a stint as the new frontman of Queen but don't let that fool you into thinking the "American Idol" runner-up will make his living on the classic rock station. The legendary band has expressed interest in employing his formidable vocal skills and Lambert is a big fan of the group once fronted by the late Freddie Mercury.

But the 27-year-old California native says he'd feel torn about joining the band.

The former theatre actor says he has ambitious plans for his post-"Idol" debut album, calling it a kind of "rock-pop-electronic-dance thing."

He says he wants to be produced "in a very very current, almost futuristic, way."
