NEW YORK - ABC says glam-rocker Adam Lambert will appear and perform on its daytime talk show “The View” on Thursday.

The announcement comes almost two weeks after Lambert’s racy performance on ABC’s broadcast of “The American Music Awards.” That led to Lambert getting axed from an appearance on the network’s “Good Morning America.”

Since then, Lambert, who is openly gay, complained of being dropped from two other upcoming ABC shows.

In the meantime, he has been scheduled for NBC’s “The Jay Leno Show” on Dec. 21.

And his taped appearance on “The View” will air a day after he is honored by “View” co-panelist Barbara Walters on her “10 Most Fascinating People of 2009” special. That also airs on ABC.
