Adam Lambert apologises for new single delay

Adam Lambert has delayed the release of his new single.

The Grammy-nominated singer had previously suggested that the first release from his second album would be revealed this month, but has now told fans that the track has been delayed.

Lambert wrote on Twitter: "Update on first single: due to some unforeseen logistics, legal annoyances and creative details, the first single is delayed again..."

He continued: "I want to apologise for claiming November as the release month. I spoke too soon. I had a great meeting in London yesterday and continue to take the time to ensure the song is its BEST and that the whole album and campaign is a unified artistic extension of my spirit. (sic)

"Thank you so much for your patience. I PROMISE I won't let you down & that this upcoming project will take you on a wild ride! I love u all."

Lambert is currently working on the follow-up to his debut album For Your Entertainment, which was released in 2009. He tweeted last month that he is hoping for a February/March release for the as-yet-untitled record.

The star was one of the performers who took to the stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast on Sunday night.

He joined 'Global Icon' winners Queen for a special medley of their greatest hits including 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are The Champions'.

He later tweeted: "What an enormous honour to sing w QUEEN! I could feel the spirit of Mercury alive on stage tonight! Thank u Brian and Roger and crew. LOVE."

Paula Abdul was among those who congratulated him on the performance via Twitter, writing: "The .@AdamLambert performance w/ #Queen on the #MTVEMA WAS #EPIC &i'm SO proud! Queen is 1 of the greatest rock bands ever- #globalicons."
