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

NEW YORK (AP) — 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 theater 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."
