Adam Lambert insures voice for $48 million

Singer Adam Lambert has reportedly insured his voice for $48 million (Dh176.299) ahead of a long run of promotional appearances.

The singer's management decided to take out a policy to protect his vocal chords.

"Insurance for stars is a big deal in the US and Adam's voice is his bacon. He had it insured last week," digitalspy.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

Lambert, 30, joins a host of other stars, who are believed to have insured their body parts.

Singer Mariah Carey is said to have taken out a $1 billion policy to cover her legs, while Dolly Parton has reportedly insured her chest for $600,000.

It was recently revealed that Lambert, who finished as runner-up in the eighth season of "American Idol,” will make a guest appearance in hit US show "Pretty Little Liars" next month.
