Adam Lambert: Under pressure!

OHMYGOSSIP — Adam Lambert is feeling the pressure! The American Idol star admits he’s nervous about taking his place with the remaining Queen members in London next week and starts to sing the songs that Freddie Mercury made so famous.

“I’m not superstitious about it. I do recognize the pressure and the expectation and I want to do a great job, I don’t want to let anybody down. I want to put on a good show. But I also feel confident that I’ll be able to do that,” Lambert told the Huffington Post.

“The music does resonate with me, because of my background in theater, and singing rock music, so it’s a natural fit. Freddie was so theatrical. Some of the songs are hard rock, some of the more obscure stuff could have been… Andrew Lloyd Webber.

“The best thing is that Brian, John and Roger are lovely. It’s very prestigious gig, but taking it would have been a harder decision to make had they not been, and my confidence levels would have suffered. And to do this music, you have to be secure. I met the band, and there was a connection. They were so down to earth, positive and sociable, and I came away thinking ‘what dudes’ and we had kind of mentioned doing… something.”

Adam recently revealed he’d love to appear in a movie.

“I’d definitely be interested in that,” he said. “I did theater for about 10 years in Los Angeles and a little bit in Europe. Getting back into acting would be very exciting and something that would make sense for me. I don’t have any immediate plans but maybe something will come up. I think I’d like to try on-screen because I’ve never really done much of that, I’ve done a lot of theater and I’m not saying I won’t do more, but I’d like to do something new.”
