He poured his heart and soul into that performance, (Chicago) and I'm sure all of the performances for every city are the same. I'm Happy you enjoyed it because I enjoyed every second.

You were all so kind to me when I shared why Adam is special to me that I thought I would use this non-concert day to share when I realized just how much of a difference he has made. As I mentioned before, I grew up very religious in the Deep South of the US, never even giving a thought to gay anything. Two years into being a Glambert, I was in a huge lineup o go through security at the Las Vegas airport when I noticed something a few lanes over from me. Two men were holding each other Ike their very lives depended on. One looked to be in his forties, and was wearing a cowboy hat. The other was a bit younger. I was too far away from them to hear any words, but I was immediately struck with the raw emotions I could see
They shared a tender kiss, and then the younger one turned away with his head down and his eyes on the floor, as if one more look would cause his courage to fail him. He hurried way with his head still down, as the older guy watched every step. At the moment he was going to have to turn a corner, the younger couldn’t take it anymore and stopped, turning for one last look. The older guy, with tears running down his face, took off the cowboy hat and raised it in salute to his beloved. Their eyes met one last time and the younger guy hurried off as the older one wiped his eyes. A deeply precious human moment was over.
Except it will never be over for me. I stood in awe as I realized that there was a time when I would not even have noticed hat I just saw, or, if I had, I would have been dismissive and judgmental about it. It shook me to my core and made me wonder what other pure and beautiful moments I had missed over the years. Then I realized that the difference between that old self and the new one was loving Adam Lambert. His being his authentic self opened my eyes, and ever since then I have not only been noticing the beauty around me, but actively seeking it out. Thanks to Adam being Adam, I have both a new outlook and a cherished memory. I dearly hope to someday be able to thank him in person.
Sorry if this is long but I couldn’t make it shorter and still do it justice! 😃

Brian added something to his IG: brianmayforreal Ha ha ha !!! I don’t know where this originated - but I had to repost it. Priceless - a great reminder of what stupendously good value Madam Lambert is as an entertainer !!! All Hail our slightly younger brother !!! Bri 💥💥💥💥 I always try to give credit where it’s due - I’m told this was originally posted by @luv2laugh777 - thanks ! Oh - and apparently some folks were not sure what the sign language says. It is “Find Me Somebody to Love” from the well-known Queen hit ! Bri www.instagram.com/p/B1A9AfVhWWx/

Chicago Sun-Times @suntimes As the lights went out before the final few songs, people in the stands started orchestrating a deafening foot stomp of “We Will Rock You” in unison. Queen heeded the call. bit.ly/2YUEFdX
