(WENN) - Queen  rocker Brian May is adamant late legend Freddie Mercury would give singer Adam  Lambert the "seal of approval" as the flamboyant star prepares to front the  band at an upcoming U.K. festival.

The former American Idol contestant will perform in Mercury's place  when Queen headlines the Sonisphere festival in Knebworth, England over the  summer.

On Monday, Lambert tweeted:

  And guitarist May insists the band's iconic star, who passed away in 1991,  would be happy with their latest addition.

  He says, "Judging by my incoming mail, this decision will make a lot of  people very happy. It's a worthy challenge for us, and I'm sure Adam would meet  with Freddie's approval! And what better place to revisit, and walk those  emotional paths than Knebworth? It will be a rush."

  And Lambert admits he can't wait to get on stage with his heroes, adding:  "I'm completely in awe of the Queen phenomenon. The thought of sharing the stage  for a full set is so beautifully surreal. I'm honored to be able to pay my  respects to Freddie'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 the evening will be a huge milestone for me, and with the support  of Brian, Roger (Taylor, drummer) and the rest of the band I know magic will be  on display."

  Lambert previously performed with the surviving members of Queen at the MTV  European Music Awards in November.

  Listen to Van Halen Radioonly on iHeartRadio

Van Halen started their tour Saturday  night in Louisville, Kentucky at the KFC Yum Center, turning in a 22-song set  that not only contained the hits and four tracks off the new album, A  Different Kind of Truth, but two songs they haven't done in concert since  1979 and 1980 - "Outta Love Again" and "Women in Love."

A review in Louisville's Courier-Journal said, "David Lee Roth bounced  around the stage like a big, 57-year-old kid, delivering a performance that was  half burlesque, half living-room show-off, and all rock star... But the night  belonged to Eddie, who was in peak form. His right hand was like a jackhammer  all night as he showed utter command of his instrument, with no apparent ill  effects from a 2009 surgery on his left hand."

Backed by a video screen that is 100-feet wide by 31-feet high, they opened  with their version of The Kinks' "You Really Got Me" and closed with "Jump" as  confetti rained down on the audience. Show number-two is tonight in the Detroit  suburb of Auburn Hills, Michigan at The Palace.

Check out Van Halen's opening night set list:

1. "You Really Got Me"

WENN) - A museum exhibit dedicated  to rocker Bruce Springsteen is set to open  in Pennsylvania on Friday.

The "Born in the U.S.A." singer has long been referred to as one of America's  most iconic and patriotic stars and now he's set to be honored with a display at  The National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

From Asbury Park to the Promised Land: The Life and Music of Bruce  Springsteen will celebrate the musician's long career and feature a variety  of memorabilia including hand-written set lists and clothing.

  An executive at the centre, David Eisner, tells the Wall Street Journal,  "No other artist is as steeped in Americana or has better told the story of the  American dream than Bruce Springsteen. He’s the perfect artist for a centre  devoted to the robust discussion of American values to feature."

  The collection will run until September 3.

  Springsteen has musical links to the city - he recorded Streets of  Philadelphia, the haunting theme to Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington's hit 1993  movie Philadelphia.
