Adam Lambert says he and Queen have no plans at the moment — they’re “just chilling” — but he does have new solo music “on the horizon.”
Queen last performed with Adam on The Rhapsody Tour, which wrapped in 2024, but guitarist Sir Brian May, 78, and drummer Roger Taylor, 76, are taking some time off from the road.
As for his solo work, Adam told NME: “There is definitely new music on the horizon. I can’t give too many details yet about what that is, but it’s a whole new situation, so I’m excited to unveil that soon.”
The American Idol alum, whose last studio album was 2023’s High Drama, added that he hopes to share some of what he’s been working on with fans this year.
The last time Brian and Roger played live together was in September 2025 when they performed Bohemian Rhapsody at the Last Night of the Proms, marking the hit single’s 50th anniversary.
Brian suffered a stroke in 2024, which temporarily left him without full control of his left arm. He’s since made a strong recovery, but he’s understandably taking things easier.
He recently vowed never to perform in America again because the country “is a dangerous place at the moment” with President Donald Trump in power.
Speaking to the Eden Confidential column in the Daily Mail newspaper, Brian said: “America is a dangerous place at the moment, so you have to take that into account.
“It’s very sad because I feel like Queen grew up in America and we love it, but it’s not what it was. Everyone is thinking twice about going there at the moment.”
He also recently vowed never to perform at Glastonbury due to the culling of badgers on Worthy Farm, the festival site in Somerset, South West England.
The We Will Rock You hitmaker – who founded the Save Me Trust, which campaigns for the rights of foxes and badgers – said: “I wouldn’t do Glastonbury next year because of the politics of the people who run it, unless that changes, I won’t do it.
“They like killing badgers, and they think it’s for sport and that’s something I cannot support because we’ve been trying to save these badgers for years, and they are still being killed for years, so that’s the reason we’re missing out on it.”
Glastonbury founder and dairy farmer Sir Michael Eavis, 90, previously branded Brian a “danger to farming” and criticised him for his opposition to the badger cull, which is aimed at preventing the spread of bovine TB in cattle.
