But undoubtedly the main event is on Saturday July 1, when the streets of London will be draped in rainbows for the annual march in celebration of the LGBTQ+ community.

We were holding out for a hero for the occasion, and luckily we’ve struck gold, as 41-year-old Adam will be taking to the stage.

The icon’s first album, Trespassing, became the first by an openly gay artist to reach number one in the USA and Canada – so aside from his incredible talent, we’d say he’s a pretty excellent fit for the part.

Not only will the Runnin’ hitmaker be headlining the event, but his new single – You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) – released today, will be the official Pride song.

Adam has teamed up with producer Sigala for the disco banger, which is a cover of Sylvester’s 1978 classic of the same name.

Pride in London’s CEO, Christopher Joell-Deshields, said: ‘Adam’s songs are all about inspiring others to be who they truly are, which couldn’t be more fitting following the launch of our campaign, Never March Alone, which shows allyship for the trans community.

‘We cannot wait to see Adam and other talented artists from the LGBT+ community come together on 1st July live across our stages.’

This comes as Adam discussed in an exclusive chat with Metro.co.uk at the Cannes Film Festival whether he’d be touring with Queen any time soon.

He said: ‘Not that I’m necessarily aware of, but I know that it’s not out of the question. I mean, we just kind of keep going, don’t we?’

Adam originally sang alongside the We Will Rock You icons in 2009 during his time on American Idol, and together with original rockers Brian May and Roger Taylor he went on to form breakoff group, Queen + Adam Lambert in 2011.

This came of course after legendary Queen frontman Freddie Mercury died aged 45 in 1991 from pneumonia resulting from AIDS.
