Adam Lambert is on a roll! After premiering the amazing new music video for his 'Trespassing' lead single 'Better Than I Know Myself' today (Feb. 3), the singer has confirmed that he's set to join legendary rock band Queen as the group's new frontman!

Rumors of Lambert's candidacy first started circulating back in December when drummer Roger Taylor sung the 'American Idol' star's praises in an interview with Billboard. "He has grown into a really great performer with an astonishing voice with a range that's great. We would like to work with him again. There's nothing signed just yet but we're talking about live dates. It could be very exciting." Lambert teamed up with the rockers for a live performance on the 'American Idol' Season 8 finale, and again at the 2011 MTV EMAs.
