I hope you're joking that a protection/bodyguards might be necessary for Adam. Maybe he always has bodyguard when he's touring with Queen in Europe as well, we just don't have pictures or video of it. But definitely Adam was assigned a bodyguard or two when they were in Eastern European tours. Brian and Roger definitely always have their bodyguards. The guy in white shirt sitting behind Adam on the restaurant is always with Brian. The same guy also on the pit whenever Adam came down to the audience during Radio Ga Ga. I'm happy that DMG and or Queen has assigned Adam a bodyguard. I'm not insinuating that SA is not safe but this is a new territory for Adam and I'm glad he gets to go to the area and meet his fans. But this is a very high profile shows. We don't want anything to happen to our precious.
Not joking exactly - I just find it very sad that the world has come to a place where a person in the public eye (not a politician or judge or someone like that) has the need to be protected. Our celeb culture has gotten so far out of hand in so many ways. But, just get Adam and the others to the arena on time and I'll be good!
You feel sad because you're not walking in their shoes. We don't know what kind of personal life they have. What we've seen was when they're in front of cameras. We don't know what it feel to be followed/stalking, or personally intrude and all kind of things that make them afraid and don't feel safe. Or have crazy fans broke into their home or getting crazy or threatening letters everyday and I still remember 35 years ago John Lennon who was shot in front of his own apartment by his fans, a man who at one point asked for his autograph and got one, even took picture with him.
If Adam becomes as big as Queen or Madonna or MJ, he probably will need bodyguards whenever he's out touring.

Quick question from those in the know...the Princes of the Universe on Twitter rumor...When/where did it start? Was it wishful thinking or was there some rumor/detail that led people to start pushing for it?
I just can't see it happening at this juncture. They've NEVER played it live and as Brian has said they don't have a ton of time to rehearse and it's a fast paced track. For example, Las Palabras they did in 08 with everyone but Neil so I think it would be easy enough to resurrect - especially since it's not an overly complicated track.
It's another reason we won't get Innuendo, Prophet's Song, It's Late, or probably White Queen. Not enough time to pull together...
AND it won't be Lucy. I would eat my hat if it was Lucy for NUMEROUS reason.
a. Nostalgic gig at Rock In Rio won't include a new song. b. Adam seems not to want to cross over projects - and the band doesn't show much interest either. c. Again not a lot of time to rehearse when the band doesn't know the track at all and even Brian honestly probably threw a solo down but would have to re-learn it all and get solid.

In the book "Mercury and Me" by Jim Hutton, it was related how Freddie Mercury and Joe (ex-lover, chef to Freddie) tried to go shopping while at RIR. It ended with Freddie and Joe having to be rescued from a store, where they took refuge, when Freddie was recognized. So given that Adam likes to be out and about, it just makes sense for him, like the rest of QAL to have security.

What podcast is this from? I want to add it to the thread of people talking about Adam, but I would like to include the link to the audio (video?) as well. Hi Cassie I used part of this quote in the Magical Voice article. Haven't read the whole thread so I don't know if someone has given you the attribution but it is The Official Queen Podcast, Episode 10 Part 1 Brian May Interview (January 12, 2015) itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-officiao-queen-podcast/id870622276?mt=2
Wow! Just, WOW! These words from Brian May carry with them the experience and perspective of a man who's been performing for decades with many, many singers. He knows when someone is beyond special. Some might think that Brian's words about Adam are simply gratuitous hyperbole, but they are not. They are words of truth spoken by someone who has spent a lot of time with Adam on and off the stage. He says Adam is now part of the Queen family. Adam is loved and respected by that family not just as a singer but as a human being. When Brian refers to Adam as a GFG, he's not kidding.

I don't know how it got started on twitter but I think it's just 'wishful thinking' because the song is really loved by a lot of fans.
