Adam Lambert says Robyn's 'Eclipse' helped him get over a tough break up.

When asked what song makes him cry, he said: "It's not one of her singles but I remember listening to this song one time and just sobbing. Something about it just hit me at that particular moment in time.

"I was getting out of a relationship and I remember being really struck by the lyric 'There's and eclipse in your eye where I used to shine'. She's such a great songwriter."

And the 34-year-old star - who now tours alongside Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor - also opened up about John Lennon's "sentimental" track 'Imagine'.

When asked what song he'd like playing at his funeral, he added to NME magazine: "I don't know if it's a funeral song but there's something very sentimental about it. It's melancholy but not too full-on. There's something kind of 'greater than us' about this song."

Meanwhile, Adam previously revealed performing alongside Queen has given him "great confidence".

He said: "[It has given me] a great confidence. Public reaction to the group's concerts [have been] wonderful and the tour gave me the opportunity to make myself known to more people."

When asked if he feels differently performing with a group than solo, he added: "I would not speak of different emotions but of different ways to approach the show. With the Queen I have to be really exaggerated, bordering on the ridiculous, even the costumes, because it is the music that requires it, I have to be drawn into the role.

"In my tour instead [I] explore the current fashion and dance and I can express my creativity. I have taken care of every single aspect of the show."
