That quote doesn't automatically mean that Adam Lambert would be a new singer for Queen.
Brian said he'd [i]like to work with him[/i]. That could mean on a production of WWRY, or playing a guitar solo or two on an Adam CD, or having him sing with the band on one or two songs in another context (someone in another thread mentioned a 46664 concert)...
It could mean all kinds of things - or nothing at all; don't get too upset yet, folks!

Brian in rollingstone: (from brianmay.com)
EXCLUSIVE:
After Adam Lambert’s killer performance with Queen on Wednesday night’s season finale of American Idol, rumors flew that he had already been offered a job singing with the band. That’s slightly premature, according to the band’s guitarist, Brian May.
“Amongst all that furor, there wasn’t really a quiet moment to talk,” May tells Rolling Stone in an e-mail interview. “But [drummer Roger Taylor] and I are definitely hoping to have a meaningful conversation with him at some point. It’s not like we, as Queen, would rush into coalescing with another singer just like that. It isn’t that easy. But I’d certainly like to work with Adam. That is one amazing instrument he has there.”
May, whose band recently ended a four-year-long partnership with singer Paul Rodgers, is comfortable with Idol as a launching point for the careers of rock singers.
“You’d have to define ‘legitimate’ first,” he writes. “The long-term answer has to be that, if you have enough talent and enough will to succeed, you will get there by whatever route presents itself. Once you have scaled the castle walls, with the sword in your hand, it matters little how you got there. I’ve not always been positive about shows like this, but there is no doubt that it offers a door to some real genuine talent along the way.”
“Both those boys are well worthy of big success,” May continues, in regard to Lambert and Idol winner Kris Allen. “So it’s pointless for someone like me to stand on the sidelines jeering. I’m confident Adam will make great use of this wonderful opportunity. I hope I’m there to see it.”

I'll lose totally what little respect I have left for them after the PR experiment if they go ahead with this. Or at least don't use the Queen name!!

If you survived Queen + 5ive I am sure you could get through this.

I think it's a very good idea to have him as the frontman. After all, Adam Lambert was Freddie's favourite singer, as May's and Taylor's upcoming interviews will soon establish.

Why does everybody have their panties in a wad over something that has not even happened?

All tastes and opinions aside...
From a marketing standpoint, it would be a brilliant move. The name Queen then may certainly be popular in the US at levels comparable to their peak there in the early 80s.

we're just hoping it aint gonna happen... come one it would ruin Queen reputation ALOT...
look it like this: Freddie was one and only, unique. We accpted Paul Rodgers as he's really one stunning musician that has really long career and music success behind him... but man, who the fu** is this guy???? HE's not for Queen and that's it...
I easily accepted Paul Rodgers, come one, we all did, some in other, and some in another way, but we accepted it, i accepted it fully and i supported Queen and Paul Rodgers work, tour's were great, if you ask me the album [TCR] was great too!
but man, this guy????
i really do not want to think of him as singer with Queen... we don't. that's it. He's nobody, he has no style and cant be Queen singer, period.
ps if they really do want to collaborate with someone, please find someone else, someone who has reputation and someone who did something in music industry, someone like mr. Paul Rodgers, someone like that, not this funny little boy...
final period.

How much i enjoyed Paul live.. he sure wasnt a Freddie..
Adam would give the possibility to perform those songs live which Paul, for sure, couldnt.
