Queen still look to play Adam Lambert gig

The planned show with Queen fronted by American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert that was scheduled for England's Sonisphere Festival may be cancelled, but the band is still looking for a way to put on the show.

Right after the announcement of the cancellation, Roger Taylor and Brian May posted a statement on the official band website.

We are disappointed to hear of the cancellation of the Sonisphere Festivals as we were very much looking forward to performing with Adam Lambert and particularly as the venue was Knebworth, our last stand with Freddie. We apologise for the disappointment to all those who were looking forward to seeing us. We are working to see if we can redress the situation at some other venue.

There's no news out since the statement was made late last week, but we'll keep you informed if/when something develops.
