“The idea came up to do an album of covers, and I haven't done that before,” Adam Lambert said of the album. “I've done that on Idol, obviously. and Queen is essentially sort of a covers situation, even though I'm in the band.”
He continued, “It was like a real nice challenge to go, 'OK, let's find songs' – some are obscure, some are new, some are really well-known – 'that we think are cool, and flip them and make them sound entirely different if we can.'”
He will appear on The National Lottery's Big New Year's Eve Bash on ITV at 8:30pm, New Year's Eve - source : Apple Music
