"I grew up watching 'Rocky Horror,' but could never imagine that I would be part of this new vision. 'Rocky Horror' always made me feel like it was OK to celebrate my weirdness. Hallelujah, bless my soul! I love that old time rock-n-roll!," Lambert said.
Eddie is the rock 'n' roll-loving ex-delivery boy, who emerges at Dr Frank-N-Furter's on a motorcycle and crashes the party.
