Rocker Adam Lambert has announced he'll
perform a reworked version of Aftermath on American Idol
next week.
“Hey guess what?!” Lambert tweeted
his more than 900,000 followers. “I will be performing Aftermath
on American Idol on Thursday, March 10.”
The 29-year-old American Idol season
8 runner-up earlier announced that he'll donate the proceeds from the
song to The Trevor Project, the California-based non-profit that runs
the nation's only 24-hour confidential suicide hotline for gay and
questioning youth.
“Releasing a revamped version of
AFTERMATH,” Lambert messaged. “Proceeds to benefit The Trevor
Project. Wait till you hear it – it's now a hot pop dance anthem.”
Aftermath appeared on Lambert's
debut studio album For Your Entertainment, which
he featured in his just-completed world tour Glam Nation.
In October, Lambert
released a video for the It Gets Better campaign, in which he told
troubled gay teens to stay strong and proud. The It
Gets Better Project, a collection of videos urging troubled LGBT
teens to hang in there, because life gets better, raises awareness
and funds for The Trevor Project.
