Seems artists attend as well as writers. I'm getting the feeling that A4 isn't quite "done". Seems this is the 25th anniversary of the first camp.

Maybe A4 isn't finished, but maybe it is. After all, Adam is a songwriter, and it's probably a constant progress. And probably should be... And with artists' new tendency to release singles (and EPs) rather than albums, you never know when the perfect song will be created! That being said, I'm ready to hear some new music from Adam!

Well, we were right last nite. Glad he let us know for sure he's there. I guess he'll join in the writers camp for a week. This would have been planned ahead of time I would imagine. I'm wondering if maybe he added on the side the trip to Ibiza while he was in the neighborhood since Roger and Sarina would be there anyway and doing his remix debut thing...and he was invited. Would appear Dana headed back home either from Ibiza or maybe from Paris after Adam stayed only one night. Now, the question is whether he's specifically/directly collaborating on more music for A4 I'll have to read some of what Simone posted about the place itself. Is there a recording studio there, what's the purpose of this "writer's camp", etc. At least we know WITWIAL! My hat is off to all of you who figured out Adam was heading to this retreat! I find your ninja powers to be incredible! Happy for Adam to be participating ...what a wonderful exciting happy life he is living! ...somehow I didn't connect this retreat to A4...may be because I'm hoping A4 writing is done by now, although I still think we won't see anything come out until 2018, I just hope not later than 1st qtr...

What is going on?!? First Adam tells us the music is all ready and just waiting to be released at the right moment; The next thing we know - he's writing again (at the end of August) in a studio in Nashville; And while he's at it, he's also telling us via his ig profile that his no. 1 priority is being Queen's lead singer, and his own career only comes in second. Then there's nothing for a while, and then he's in a writing camp in France! Is the camp for him, for his album/ep? Why is it needed if the music is ready, as he said? Are they throwing the said music away? Or have they decided they need more songs, because they want to go with an album instead of an e.p.? Are we really not to expect anything before 2018? I wish he'd say something, it's getting frustrating... When did Adam ever say that his #1 priority was being in Queen and his own career comes second?? If true, that's really disappointing. I think people need to chill---looks like new music will be next year. It's already October. Although he may release a song... I think the"queen priority" came out of the post by someone here(sorry I can't remember the name) who has a friend at WBR....who said they love Adam and support him, but queen is "huge" now ..or something like that...which inferred Queen to be a priority....

Yes that and also he listed Lead singer with QUEEN on his new IG header, followed by solo artist on WBR. Some took that to be significant...not sure I agree. I think they both are priorities and which ever is going on at the present time is the priority. He is so fortunate to have both priorities...with a little actin as a bonus.

And with artists' new tendency to release singles (and EPs) rather than albums, you never know when the perfect song will be created! That being said, I'm ready to hear some new music from Adam! Agree---My thoughts too! I remember Sia wrote a song and collaborated with Adam to ---I assume Adamize it --and he decided not to use it. I think she tweeted him or publicly wrote to him ---as I remember it was her words...if he did not want it she wanted to be able to "sell it" to other artists. Why she would do that publicly has always stuck with me. Who knows maybe there are songs out there that Adam had a hand in creating with other artists that are on the shelf or were actually picked up. Going to a writer's camp is a great way to meet different writers and see who you connect with, get inspired by, learn from...etc etc All could be good with such a process! There is the LEARNING, COLLABORATING, not necessarily creating just for Adam. The only down side I see is Pharaoh may be more Pharchopath (as per Eber).

First, thanks again to the Glambert ninjas who figured where Adam is. That castle is gorgeous! I think the opinions here are spot-on. Adam may be finished with his current music, but a singer or songwriter is never "done." It's a big deal for him to be able to go to this "music retreat" where lots of singers and songwriters go. Glad to know that he is one of them. You never know what you will learn or who you will meet at one of these things. Adam is a very good networker. He doesn't sit around. He keeps himself out there and interacts. There may be some great song ideas that emerge from this trip. Maybe a few important personal connections made. Doesn't matter if the music he's been working on is completed or not. It's important to take opportunities when they present themselves. I hope something constructive comes of this. As to his "Queen is more important" comment, here is my take. The Queen tour is locked in. It's scheduled. Queen is where he makes the bulk of his money. It's his main job right now. Of course, his own music is important, too, but the schedule for it has to work around the Queen schedule. That's just the way it is. If he's lucky, if things go well, A4 or EP, or whatever it turns out to be, will have a very successful song or two on it (like GT) that will allow him to tour on his own music, too. But for now, Queen rules. It's the gig of a lifetime for him, well worth juggling his own music schedue a bit in order to take full advantage of it.

I think people need to chill---looks like new music will be next year. It's already October. Although he may release a song... He changed his ig bio to read " Lead singer for QUEEN, Solo Artist on Warner Bros Records, some actin gigs too! Out AF. I love my life". To me it read loud and clear that he's lead singer for Queen first, solo artist second, and actor third. But he also says that he loves his life, which to me means it's all a matter of choice and he wasn't forced into anything. If the new music is only due next year, I think Adam should say something to refute what he said previously. That would make people "chill".

I know I misspoke in my above post. I realize Adam did not say, "Queen is more important." As nica said above, that idea came from the WBR discussion that showed that WBR understands that Queen is taking up the bulk of Adam's time right now. I think they totally get the importance of QAL and how it affects Adam's overall profile and success. Still nice to know that WBR really likes him and hopefully will fully support his new music.

Why is it a negative thing that QAL is Adam's priority right now? His career is composed of many things. QAL is THE biggest gig of his life so far, and it won't last forever. I have no problem with his own music taking a back seat for a while. QAL has been a huge positive for him. It's just good business. I don't care is he lists "Lead singer for QUEEN" first on his ig bio. It's a huge eye-grabber to anyone just learning about him. He has years ahead of him, post-Queen. He will take every bit of advantage from it that he can. Many young singers would kill for that job. He knows how lucky he is.
