Rumours are spreading through the global entertainment industry that the runner up from the American Idol talent quest may be the replacement for the late Freddie Mercury. Freddy Mercury sound-alike Adam Lambert Mercury, one of the most accomplished singers and showmen to ever front a rock group, died of complications from HIV in 1991. He never publicly confirmed his homosexuality but had been living with a man for the last six years of his life. Now Adam Lambert, who performed a la Freddie Mercury in the US talent show, is being touted as a new front man for the mega-group Queen, which has faded without Mercury's dynamic and flamboyant presence. Queen's surviving members are understood to have requested a meeting with Lambert.
