-

After wowing everyone on the eighth season of American Idol, which included a performanc­e with Queen, Adam Lambert went on to release his debut album For Your Entertainm­ent which included the internatio­nal hit Whatya Want From Me and earned him a Grammy Award nomination.

Adam followed this success with his second album Trespassin­g which became the first album to reach the number one spot in the US and Canada by an openly gay artist.

His highly anticipate­d third album The Original High was executive produced by Max Martin and Shellback and includes the smash hit Ghost Town.

It also contains Another Lonely Night, There I Said It, Rumors and Lucy (featuring Brian May) among its 14 stellar tracks.

Now Adam is back in New Zealand, performing up front with with Queen, of Friday, February 7 at Auckland’s Mt Smart Stadium.

To celebrate we’re giving you the chance to win one of two copies of The Original High, personally signed by Adam himself.

Adam was a judge on The X Factor Australia where his artist, Isaiah, won the show.

Last year he made a cameo in the box office smash Bohemian Rhapsody and begun recording his new album.

2019 will see Adam star in his first animated-live action hybrid movie Playmobil: The Movie voicing character Emperor Maximus.

His recently released track Feel Something from his upcoming fourth album is the precursor to more new music expected soon.
