‘American Idol' Alum Teams Up With Broadway Legend for Heavenly Studio Recording
'American Idol' Alum Teams Up With Broadway Legend for Heavenly Studio Recording originally appeared on Parade. Adam Lambert is stepping into Judas Iscariot's shoes. On Friday, August 1, Lambert will release a brand-new version of Jesus Christ Superstar's 'Heaven on Their Minds,' just ahead of his highly anticipated run as Judas in a three-night production of the rock opera at the Hollywood Bowl, running August 1–3. It also marks a rare collaboration with the show's original composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. 'I was thrilled when Andrew asked me if I wanted to record a studio version of 'Heaven On Their Minds',' Lambert told Variety. 'This is a great way to commemorate my upcoming appearance as Judas and to give fans all around the world a little taste of what will happen onstage at the Hollywood Bowl.'Webber, who receives co-billing as executive producer and arranger, personally invited Lambert to tackle the number that was originally sung by Murray Head in the 1970 concept album and since covered by numerous artists. The new track was produced by Swedish writer-producer Martin Terefe and recorded across four cities, London, New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville, where the sweeping strings were laid down. The release also comes with a 40-second teaser video showing Lambert in the studio, offering fans a first listen to the reimagined track. 'Heaven on Their Minds' is a fan-favorite in the Jesus Christ Superstar catalog, known for its fiery guitar intro and Judas's tortured introspection about the fate of Jesus and the movement they've built. The Hollywood Bowl production promises even more musical firepower: Cynthia Erivo stars in the title role, with Phillipa Soo as Mary Magdalene and Josh Gad as King Herod. The show is directed and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo, with music direction from Stephen Oremus. Lambert recently wowed Broadway audiences as the Emcee in Cabaret. As for Webber, it's been a banner year with revivals of Sunset Boulevard and Evita making waves on both sides of the Atlantic. For Superstar fans, the next one may be a very Good Friday indeed.

Adam Lambert's heartbreak as he splits from boyfriend Oliver Gliese after four-year romance
Adam Lambert has reportedly amicably ended his relationship with boyfriend Oliver Gliese after four years of dating. At 43, the Grammy nominee is 14 years older than the Twitch streamer, and they 'broke up within the last month' and it's 'drama free' - according to TMZ. However, the ex-couple haven't posted an Instagram snap featuring one another since June 2024. Earlier this month, Adam celebrated LGBTQIA+ Pride month in New York City with his 'ride or dies' - a term of endearment he used to reserve for Oliver. There are reports that Lambert and Gliese began dating as far back as 2020, but they didn't go Instagram official until May 2021 and in March 2024 he shared a snap captioned: 'Love is the answer.' In 2023, the Cabaret thespian publicly defended the former Global Fashion Agenda partnerships manager after he received a barrage of homophobic comments. 'He is beautiful and brave and daring. One of the many things I love about him!' Adam - who boasts 11.5M social media followers - wrote via Instastory. 'We are very happy together, and if the haters don't like it, we don't really give a f***. Grow up and challenge yourself to explore tolerance.' Oliver - whose drag persona is Valkyrie - originally hails from Denmark where he graduated from Copenhagen Business School. News of Lambert's newly-single status came the day after TMZ reported he sold his four-bedroom Hollywood Hills estate for $6.2M - $300K less than what he paid for the three-story home in 2018. The Indiana-born, Cali-raised belter was previously romantically linked to retired figure skater Johnny Weir in 2010, but neither confirmed the rumor. Adam made history in 2012 as the first openly gay male artist to top the US Billboard 200 chart, but he was outed (with a leaked Burning Man photo) three years earlier while competing on the eighth season of American Idol. Kris Allen went on to win the formerly Fox singing competition over Lambert amid controversy over his forcible outing and the voting process, but producers 'stood by the outcome' of the results. The RuPaul's Drag Race guest judge will next use his three-octave pipes to portray Judas Iscariot opposite Cynthia Erivo's Jesus in director Sergio Trujillo's production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl in LA from August 1-3. On July 14, Josh Gad - who plays Herod - shared an Instagram snap of himself rehearsing with Adam and Phillipa Soo, who plays Mary Magdalene in Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's 1971 musical. There are reports that Lambert and Gliese began dating as far back as 2020, but they didn't go Instagram official until May 2021 and in March 2024 he shared a snap captioned: 'Love is the answer' The Indiana-born, Cali-raised belter will next portray Judas Iscariot opposite Cynthia Erivo's (M, pictured June 8) Jesus in director Sergio Trujillo's production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl in LA from August 1-3 Adam told Variety's Stagecraft podcast on Tuesday: '[Judas] is questioning everything. He's critical. He's analytical. He's the one person that'll argue with Jesus. And I think part of it is that Judas reflects my shadow self. If I'm being honest with myself or anybody else about what my faults are, I can see those same faults in Judas' 'I was excited to do something new — which was kind of old for me, but new again, you know?' Lambert told Variety 's Stagecraft podcast on Tuesday. '[Judas] is questioning everything. He's critical. He's analytical. He's the one person that'll argue with Jesus. And I think part of it is that Judas reflects my shadow self. If I'm being honest with myself or anybody else about what my faults are, I can see those same faults in Judas. 'Me on a bad day, I have a tendency to disagree or to rebel or to not go with the status quo. I'm very much like, "Well, everyone else is doing that. I don't like it!"' The Queen + Adam Lambert frontman also teased that he's penning an original musical: 'It's definitely got a rock 'n' roll spirit. It takes place in the 1970s in New York. It's glam. And that's kind of all I can say.' Adam - who gets 2.5M monthly listeners on Spotify - released an EP called Afters in 2024, and he's reportedly sold over 3M records worldwide.

Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen were awarded the 2025 Polar Music Prize by Sweden 's King Carl Gustaf on Tuesday. Attending the Polar Music Prize gala at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, the rockers were recognised for the entirety their career. Speaking on stage, Brian, 77, said: 'In this special moment, I contemplate how that younger Brian May in 1974 would have felt if he knew that we would be living this kind of dream 50 years in the future.' Roger, 75, added: 'When we started our band…we had ambitions, but never dreamed of the journey that was to follow. 'We were fortunate in the fact that our four wildly different personalities came together to achieve a wonderful chemistry.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He continued: 'The Polar Music Prize is exceptional in the fact that unlike other awards it recognises the entirety of an artiste's career. 'What an honour to be included in the glittering cavalcade of previous laureates. True Olympian company indeed. We are so proud to be the recipients of this incredibly prestigious award.' Roger was joined on the red carpet by his wife Sarina while Brian was joined by his wife Anita Dobson. During the event Adam Lambert performed a number of Queen hits, including Who Wants to Live Forever, and Another One Bites the Dust. Last month, Brian looked the picture of health as he took to the stage at the Coachella festival, in Indio, California in the wake of his stroke. The Queen legend revealed he had been rushed to hospital following the medical emergency back in September. But he was on fine form as he posed with Benson Boone, 22, after the pair had performed an epic version of Bohemian Rhapsody together. Dressed in a patchwork cream shirt and distressed grey jeans, Brian was in great spirits after joining the former American Idol star as a special guest during his set at the annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club. After merging on the stage for his guitar solo during Bohemian Rhapsody, Brian stayed to duet with jumpsuit-clad Benson on his 2024 breakthrough single Beautiful Things. The pair certainly appeared to have hit it off as they happily chatted backstage before snapping photos together. Earlier in the day, Brian dropped a hint about the duo's collaboration as he shared a snap of Instagram of himself travelling to Coachella on a plane with Benson. He teasingly penned: 'Look who I bumped into – on the way to the fabled Palm Springs … Maybe something will happen ?!' In another selfie with the performer, the Will Will Rock You hitmaker remarked: 'Do we look happy ? !!! Gonna treasure this moment on the plane with @bensonboone – a truly golden 22 year old prodigy. I'm proud and happy to say we are now officially pals.' It comes after Brian's wife Anita Dobson recently issued a health update about him on Good Morning Britain after he suffered a stroke. A legendary musician, astrophysicist and animal rights campaigner, Brian had previously shared in a video posted online that he had suffered a 'minor stroke'. Brian was on fine form as he posed with Benson Boone, 22, after the pair had performed an epic version of Bohemian Rhapsody together On Good Morning Britain, Brian's wife and EastEnders icon Anita, 75, chatted with hosts Ed Balls, 58, and Charlotte Hawkins, 49, and provided an update on how he was doing. Charlotte asked: 'How is Sir Brian doing, we should ask of course as he hadn't been well had he?' 'He's very well now. I'm very happy to say, thank you both for asking,' Anita replied. 'He's very well now, he's back to his old self!'
