Adam can tour without a hit song. P2 is touring theaters that are not even close to half full. He has no hits from his latest album, his streaming numbers are barley over 1m for his lead single and his album opened with less that 5K. Daughtry is now on tour doing theaters the size of the ones Adam does in the states and his new single is not a hit yet and he has no album release date. Adam has a fan base bigger that P2 for sure and probably about the same as Daughtry. When he puts out a single and releases an album he will most likely tour. I think the only reason he did not tour in the US with Trespassing is he knew he may be leaving the label and there was not much point in pushing a dead album. But even with that, he did 12+ one-offs in the US to 3-4k+ and a few huge pride concerts plus the international European and Asian tour. All with no hits from Trespassing. Of course having a hit will be goal but even without that, he can do midsize venues in the US and slightly larger ones internationally. Everyone else tours hit or not so Adam can as well if he wants. I think and hope there will be a tour. But first, I would like to see some good promotion, US radio play and promotional opportunities for him. The rest I believe will fall in place. Thank you so much for putting this in perspective. Nice that you reminded us how much Adam accomplished with Trespassing without have a hit from it. It's pretty amazing when you think of it. And his US solo venues are a decent size. I know Daughtry tours a lot, hits or no hits. But does Daughtry have much of an international fanbase? I don't know. Most Idol alums do not. Adam's world-wide fan base is his real bread and butter. He has an international allure of some kind that non-Americans just eat up. And I don't mean just because of Queen. Thanks for raising my hopes that Adam will likely do a solo tour. And I will optimistically predict that A4 WILL have a hit (or two) on it and we'll get a healthy tour. DREAMING BIG!

About Adam's "errors." The man has his strengths and his weaknesses. We know, for example, that he has a very nebulous sense of time. His fans can tell you much more accurately when something happened in Adam's life than he can. And "punctual" is an adjective which will never be used to describe Adam. On the other hand, he remembers faces and details about people he meets, even recognizing individual fans and noticing when they have changed their appearances. He also has an encyclopedic musical memory for songs, bands, singers, shows, etc. When he talked about WWTLF, we fans know that Brian wrote it after seeing a draft of Highlander (or so Brian says, who is also not known for accuracy in many of his memories). So, did Adam confuse that back story with one from another song? Or, could it be that Brian's father was facing a health challenge when the song was written, and in retrospect, Brian had told Adam it was about his father's pending passing? Should Adam, as Queen frontman, have committed to memory Queen's entire background history? Should he be their historical frontman? Brian and Roger are probably perfectionists when it comes to their craft, their music. Adam holds that to be sacred. Other stuff, I doubt matters to them much. (And even their retelling of stories change over time.) As far as Freddie being married, as was said, Freddie often called Mary his wife. Maybe Brian and Roger refer to her the same way. Or maybe it is just Adam's way of referring to the long time relationship. Or, I think the quote I saw was from an interview written in a different language and could have been a translation error. I think Adam does a superb job of representing Queen + Adam Lambert, and the guys obviously trust him with it. Well said, Adam has never been perfect, I do believe he has made incorrect comments a time or two about things having to do with his own career. I would hope that we could overlook his mistakes, as we all would like when we make mistakes.

Daughtry has an international fanbase and touring but not as great as Adam. He does headline in mostly European countries but not all over the map like Adam's solo headlining tours. No China or Poland and with only a few Asian spots. And forget about QAL, lol. Also he is not on international tv, magazines the way Adam is or winning international wards. And at least in later years, no international certifications but there were some at the beginning of his career. But they are touring about the same size in the US as Adam as does Kelly, unless she has Maroon 5 or PTX on the same bill, then she does larger venues in the US. But the Trespassing year, Forbes had Adam as making 5 million for that tour and he was in third place behind Carrie and Kelly for highest earning Idols. Not bad for no hits.

Sigh....never said I wasn’t proud of Adam....never said he should know entire back-catalogue....Never said he wasn’t an excellent frontman. I love Queen; I love Adam. I stand by my belief that accuracy in certain things can be key. I am incredibly far from perfect myself.
But thanks to Cassie for “ putting me in my place”, which is permanent lurk status. As vividly illustrated by a discussion sometime during the past couple of weeks in which even a long-term member of the forum felt that she had to leave, I should have known better.

No, it is fine to express your beliefs here, just don't be upset if there are people who disagree And as an fyi, the member you speak about did not leave for those reasons.

Many artists tour without having hit singles -- but that requires someone (promoter, artist, sponsors, etc.) to fund the tour and more money for marketing. The economic benefits of having a big hit(s) are increased awareness of the artist, more free promotional opportunities, and hit tracks generate royalty revenue. So while it is possible, it is a lot riskier and a lot harder.
It will be nice if A4 is packed with hit tracks, but mostly I want it to be packed with great music.

Of course we know a big hit make a big difference and would be ideal. We all want that for him. But when has Adam already had a big hit before he put together a tour? WWFM? GT did not become a hit very fast cause it was really slow moving up the charts in the US. When he was in Australia and performed it on tv, it shot up the charts there but he was already on tour.
