Singer Adam Lambert has reportedly insured his voice for $48 million 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.
