Adam Lambert will join Queen for a performance at the Sonisphere Festival in July, the “American Idol” alum reportedly told the UK’s Daily Star.

“The intention is to pay tribute to Freddie and the band by singing some f***ing great songs,” he reportedly said. “It’s to keep the music alive for the fans and give it an energy that Freddie would have been proud of.”

However, Lambert appeared to dismiss the remarks on his Twitter page on Friday evening.

“Oooh them clever reporters takin my quotes outta context…. I haven’t confirmed any guest appearances. I was talking about the EMA’S,” he tweeted, without directly referencing the report in question. “That being said, I’m truly flattered by your jump to such glorious conclusions mr journalist!! ”

Lambert previously performed with Queen at the 2009 “American Idol” finals as well as a November gig at the MTV EMAs.

In the Daily Star’s report, he added that he’d love to head to the studio with the iconic band.

“It’d be cool to record with Brian [May] and Roger [Taylor],” he said. “Being asked to front Queen is the best thing that can possibly happen.”

A rep for Queen’s label, Hollywood Records, said that the pairing hasn’t been set in stone quite yet.

The founder of Megaupload.com, Kim Dotcom, celebrated his 38th birthday late last week by locking himself in a small room with a loaded shotgun at his $24 million, 25,000-square-foot mansion in Auckland trying to avoid the dozens of police officers who swarmed the mansion to arrest him for copyright theft.

New Zealand Police detective inspector Grant Wormald told reporters that the “Dotcom Mansion” features a large giraffe and rhinoceros sculpture, an extensive security system including three gates, manned security guards and security cameras. According to the New Zealand Herald the home also boasts “a heated lap pool is just off the master ensuite, boasting underwater speakers, imported spring water and a custom ladder worth around $15,000” and a graffiti-style painting of Dotcom and his wife was displayed on the wall of one room, which had about seven 60-inch television screens.

Although staff from New Zealand’s Organized and Financial Crime Agency say they clearly identified themselves during the raid, Mr. Dotcom fled to the safe room behind “a number of electronic-looking mechanisms” and so police were forced to cut their way through the locks to get to make the arrest.

Dotcom, also known as Kim Schmitz, has been charged with operating a criminal enterprise that distributes intellectual property and police reports indicate that two firearms and eighteen cars were also seized from his property. The cars seized from the entrepreneur/alleged criminal’s property include a 1959 pink Cadillac, a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe and cars with attention grabbing (and controversy baiting) license plates including “HACKER,” “MAFIA,” and “STONED”.

The German native Dotcom settled in Auckland after investing NZ$10 million in government bonds in 2010 and personally funding the city’s 2010 New Year’s fireworks celebration. Opposition politicians in new Zealand have called for an inquiry into his residency application.

Megaupload was shut down last week for violation of piracy laws by US federal prosecutors following claims that the service has cost copyright holders more than $500 million in lost revenue. The FBI described the action against Dotcom and his the website as being “amongst the largest criminal copyright cases ever brought by the United States” and said it would target “the misuse of a public content storage and distribution site to commit and facilitate intellectual property crime”.

Dotcom is currently seeking bail however Judge David McNaughton has raised concerns about the discovery of shotguns on Schmitz’s property describing them as an “aggravating factor to bail application”.
