No, I'm pretty sure the clothes and shoes would only be deductible if he only ever wore them for performances and never ever in "real" life. I think Q3 once said that she had it on good authority that he purposely doesn't deduct them so that he can wear them in his everyday life. Thanks for the information. You learn something new all the time on this forum. csquared is correct -- at least as of a year ago -- Adam personally owns most of the clothes he wears. There are a few items that are "costumes" but they never go into his personal wardrobe. This is not unusual -- generally for performers, if you wear something off stage, you can't deduct it. Also not usually deductible -- hair, nails, gym memberships, makeup worn off stage, etc. A couple related items.... On Idol Adam received a clothing allowance and anything purchased with that allowance was his. But being Adam, he spent more than his clothing allowance on the clothing and accessories he wore during Idol. Many of these items went into his closet. He has received a couple notable items from designers -- like the Blonds claw things. The claw was probably classified as a gift.

Gee, I always thought a music artist COULD stop a political candidate from using their music. I thought a number of them have done it in the past. Maybe those candidates stopped using a song as a courtesy to the artist, not because they had to under the law. Hmm. We'll see if Brian May responds to this. Queen, Rolling Stones, most major artists recordings are available for "blanket use." So they only things they can stop an advertisement which requires a separate license. Here is an explanation and a bit of history: www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/05/05/the-rolling-stones-demand-HeWhoCannot amed-stop-using-its-music-at-rallies-but-can-the-band-actually-stop-him/

Pretty sure Adam gets many of his designer items close to free or completely free, especially the ones that he specifically names in IGs or Twitter I was surprised to learn that he pays for the clothes he purchases from at least two of the designers he wears regularly and gives shoutouts on IG and Twitter and so on. I am sure he is given some items -- but seems he really does shop. It is something that puzzles me a bit but my GUESS is that he wants the freedom to wear what he wants to wear or may be he enjoys shopping?

Hello, all you beautiful people. Since it's a slow time in Adamtopia, I was hoping someone could help me. I'm trying to track down all the videos from Adam's TOH tour London Apollo performance. For such a big show, there are surprisingly few links in the thread about this show, and I also checked the thread for the day after. I only managed to find the first part - I couldn't even find a set list (or rather, I couldn't see it, cause I can't see twitter). So, I'm asking for a favour - if anyone has the time and is willing to post the individual youtube links for the songs that I am missing. Here is what I DO HAVE: Evil in the Night, For Your Entertainment, Ghost Town, Welcome to the Show, Running-Chokehold-Sleepwalker, Underground-Rumours, Lucy, Mad World, After Hours, Whataya Want From Me, The Light-The Original High. And I found These Boys - did he do that song at the London concert? I need all the other songs, but I can only watch the videos if I have individual youtube links (cause then I can copy paste the links into a software which converts them into mp4 - for the time being I still can't watch videos on the youtube site, so this is the only way that works for me). I would be eternally grateful for the set list and the missing videos. Thanks so much for any help, sending you all lots of love If you need video's check out Marie's place: adamlambertmtt.com/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=1480She got videographers with complete sets. Thanks so much! How did I not know this existed?.... lol - Well, now I know!

He is all about lifting up others.
