Queen and Lambert have announced that they will be holding a special event at Madison Square Garden in New York City next Thursday, according to ABC News Radio, who assume that the event ties in with "some kind of concert event or series."

The event announcement follows Queen guitarist Brian May's comments to Radio 2 host Steve Wright earlier this month. "We've been talking to Adam Lambert, you know we've already done some gigs with Adam, who is amazing," he said.

"We are ongoing, we can't help it. I think we all protested too much in the sense when Freddie went and we didn't want to talk about it and didn't want to be Queen for a while."

"But after a while," he continued, "you realize that people wanna hear the songs and see us do things. So, no matter what you call it, Roger and I do do stuff, and I think we'll be doing some more stuff this summer in fact, probably in the States."
