Legendary QUEEN drummer Roger Taylor was on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show this morning. Check out the BBC iPlayer (here) for the interview that starts at 1h 44m 11secs. (UK only). Roger talks about the show at Sonisphere with singer ADAM LAMBERT and The BRITs.

Queen confirmed yesterday that the band will headline the second day of Sonisphere appearing on the Apollo stage on Saturday, July 7th. Knebworth was the setting for Queen's final concert with FREDDIE MERCURY, in August 1986.

Guitarist Brian May and Taylor also confirmed that for this very special event they will be joined by US singer-songwriter Adam Lambert.

The potent chemistry between Queen and Lambert broke the surface when at the invitation of Brian May and Roger Taylor, Lambert joined them for the closing showcase at the recent MTV Europe Awards where Queen were present to collect their Global Icon award.

Says Brian May: “Judging by my incoming mail, this decision will make a lot of people very happy. It's a worthy challenge for us, and I'm sure Adam would meet with Freddie's approval! And what better place to revisit, and walk those emotional paths than Knebworth? It will be a rush.”
