Did someone say Shawn Mendes?^^ After my Call me by your name/Timothy Chalamet/Armie Hammer obsession I've been hooked on the guy lately lol. I think he's very talented. He's so mature and well mannered. Song "Nervous" posted about is SO sexy, it's really growing on me, although I was hesitant about the lyrics at first (I still think his management scratched the third verse^^ lol). I love lyrics of "Like to be you", his duet with Julia Michaels. I think the vocals are SOOOO beautiful on "perfectly wrong". All in all I think he's doing his thing very well and he's become a consistent performer.
He recently gave a written interview to vulture. He was very honest. He said at first fame was overwhelming and the question of how to maintain and keep going career wise, when you don't know why you are famous. Looking at his story, I can see that...basically he just started picking up his guitar and started singing, when he became famous. So he developed his skills (and obv. still is) in front of the world. I get that this can add extra intensity to the whole thing. But that is not what grabbed my attention in the article. In the last paragraph he says, that "in Europe he'd be wearing a floral shirt and three necklaces but here he doesn't for fear of being judged." It surprised me, made my sad, broke my heart a little...

And it will be interesting, what else will be happening in London. From what I‘ve seen there are many tickets left for the European shows. So my guess is, that there will be some kind of promotion for these countries as well.

I just looked at Adam's website www.adamofficial.com/ and it's set up similar to a placeholder page. It links to tour dates, social media, etc but there are no photos (not even a banner at the top), videos, etc. Take a look at Demi Lovato's site.
Don't know if Adam's manager or his publicist designs his site but would be great to update it before he performs again. Queen fans who don't know him may search his website, Facebook etc for more info about him.
Regarding Facebook, I deleted my account a couple of years ago. When I viewed his FB on my phone I cannot see his videos since I'm not logged in. However, I can see them on my Mac.
My apologies if all this has been discussed already and / or an update is in the works!

It looks like the majority of QAL promo is being happily left to Adam. There is really a new sense now that they are talking to the frontman for Queen and not just a temporary fill-in. During the summer, it gives him specific items to discuss with interviewers which will keep his presence in the spotlight. 1. the EU tour, 2. how his new music (although not genre specific) is influenced by Queen to peak the interest of Queen fans, 3. the residency in Las Vegas which I think will lead immediately into ... 4. his new music in Oct/Nov He can do a lot of new music promo during Vegas since they are stationary without too much trouble, if that's the plan. Even release the first single!
