Geez....I can't get the red head out of my mind.... As a piece of art I find the image highly captivating and I keep coming back to it. It is strange but beautiful, mysterious but vulnerable, and easy to get lost in.
When it comes to Adam's pop star look and overall persona, especially when fronting rock legends Queen, I think the more "dangerous" darker hair color needs to make a re-appearance. Sheer-aint just doesn't give me the rock star vibe, but may be he'll surprise me.

No matter what, the art is impactful, given the discussion.
I love the varying opinions on this board.

IMHO, Adam was the classically beautiful "canvas" that the photographer transformed to his own collage of mixed artistic eras (classical, surrealism, etc) and the unexpected (the hat pins) which are jarring--but could be interpreted as a crown of sorts because Adam's hair is his crowning glory. The result is an example of a combination of photography and the integration of graphic arts style manipulation into his vision of transforming Adam from a rock god to a more Greco-Roman stylized sculpture of a demigod. The orange could be a modern homage to how "hot" Adam is. I love it. excellent analysis! agree with every word!

Its just another Photoshoot Adam did. Is it really that deep lol? He looks well orange Haha. But his look Doesent bother me in that photoshoot or anything. I mean it's not like he well look like that when on tour with Queen or anything. Might see return to platinum black. He did have green hair last tour Haha. So who knows with Adam.

The orange could be a modern homage to how "hot" Adam is. I love it. Completely agree. I think of it as art with Adam as the canvas and I think we will better understand the artist's vision when we see more compositions. The artist plays with gender in his work and it could be pretty outrageous where he goes with this. The question in my mind is did the artist chose Adam or Adam chose the artist? If Adam chose, is it for a purpose? For me, this is something more to look forward to from Adam creatively.

I just thought of something!! The middle Pool Circle section, "C" has never gone on sale. Not one single seat! I wonder if QAL is going to extend the stage there? I had been thinking it was for real VIPs, but now IDK! hmm, interesting...I am still thinking it's the "real VIP" section, so many family/friends/industry/press types are going to be there! your post got me to look at the sales maps again (only on TM, I did not go to any of the partner sites): - Phoenix added many great seats in the prime level 1 areas, hope it sells! - HB2 added the very back side sections, so now only about 3-4 little sections are not opened yet. I am sure they'll be very close to sell out as many will probably want to go and repeat the experience... - San Jose - added a lot of Pairs of tickets, almost all on the aisles and all around the arena. Never saw this pattern of releasing tickets. also many other tickets in prime areas for regular price - Omaha - still not looking good (I wonder how Kansas City is doing) - Nashville - looking so-so, but have over a month to go in Canada - Edmonton has some amazing seats! - Toronto released a few seats in prime locations

If I look very closely it is almost as if somebody has edited a lace front on his head :-). There is a LOT in this picture that is edited. So much that I am really wondering what is real and what not. It has such a surrealistic quality to it while at the surface it seems to be very au naturale. And it absolutely is not. That's what makes it intriguing. It almost looks like a comment on the manufacturability of beauty. This! I am not sure it is a wig, at all. Just edited to look that way. I think it could be his real hair. It is certainly the right orange! been out all day so perhaps this has been addressed, but it absolutely is a wig!!! no doubt at all. adams hair is nowhere nearly that long, for starters...he is shaved through the sides and his top is fairly shrt too. lovr the artistry...

OK OK "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" Apparently! I don't think I can "appreciate" anything with the orange hair. This orange hair is the first time in 8 years i have really hated anything he has done to his hair. Even Franken Gump was on the OK side. You know, I am his bitch and even defended that poncho! But orange "Ain't Sheeran" just does nothing for me (or, IMO, for him.) Don't anyone say it's his natural color either, because orange was never his natural color! I have to look at the picture really carefully to recognize it's Adam. LOL. I thought another guy with the same tattoo as him. funny!!! My opinion: 1. The picture shows his beautiful profile. 2. No wonder he wears make up all the time, he doesn't want to show that freckles. 3. Don't think his natural hair color is as ORANGE as the picture 4. And IMO, don't think that's really his hair. The hair on the side's too long. We know he always has very short hairstyle on the side and the back. I know his hair grows fast but I think it takes a while for him to grow the hair on the side like in the picture.

The artist has used Adam as a canvas and enhanced his skin color! I love this, pure performance art!

I downloaded the pic and had a close look at it in photoshop. The hair is a) a wig or b) his hair has been worked over in photoshop (thickened and lengthend at the sides and in the back). The band in the front could be photoshopped in - for judging that I would need a HQ version of the pic. The freckles are pretty sure his own. Photographers have several ways to work out freckles. Highpass filter, dodge and burn or just by adjusting the contrast ... Here's an example: For me as a photographer this pic of Adam is a masterpiece... The lighting, the artistic approach, the vision of the photographer - breathtaking. I do understand though that some don't like it, because it can be seen as strange or odd. But Adam isn't in the center of the attention, the art that's being created is the essence. I can't wait to see more of this photoshoot
