Adam Lambert and Queen announced their North American Tour at Madison Square Garden today. The 32-year-old entertainer and the iconic band have planned for a 19-date North American tour which will begin on June 19, 2014 at Chicago’s United Center. The tour will end on July 20 at Washington D.C.’s Merriweather Post Pavilion.

Lambert was stoked about the announcement. “I’m completely in awe of the Queen phenomenon. The thought of sharing the stage for a full set in North America is so beautifully surreal,” Adam said. “I’m honored to be able to pay my respects to Freddie [Mercury’s] memory. He’s a personal hero of mine, and I am deeply grateful for the chance to sing such powerful music for fans of this legendary band. I know this tour will be a huge milestone for me, and with the support of Brian, Roger and the rest of the band, I feel like magic will be on display.”
