I finally received my signed Velvet album! YAY! I touched and stroked the signature. LOL I was thinking about Adam working his way through a big pile of albums and I even think there is a bit of silver ink on the back of the cover. It looks great. My only wish is that they had included the lyrics. I remember the old days of listening to the music while sitting beside the record player and examining the album cover and reading the lyrics.

Omg, I just skimmed over your post, and read that you were touching and stroking your album, thinking of Adam. Ok, need to slow down, and read carefully.

They have already said Adam will not tour Velvet because of other commitments next year. But maybe a Vegas Residency can be rescheduled. That was only for one week so I think that is the best hope, if any, for Velvet. Not a large commitment of time other than the planning. Would make for a nice closure. Otherwise I think he will wait for a new album and tour where he can include the Velvet songs. I just want to see Adam back on the road with QAL or anything next year. Miss him so much.

"Love Don't" was on Corden?? Did I miss something? Honestly, I sort of overlooked that song up until now, but i really liked it yesterday. For me, it would be very suitable to be added to the Queen setlist. No sorry my bad. I misspoke. I was thinking about On the Moon. But he did Love Don't on the Grammy museum set. Got the 2 mixed up for a minute! And just rewatched the whole thing on the big screen They all looked like they are having a great time. And boy he seems so happy to do this mini concert. Can't wait for the real thing! Thanks. I almost panicked to think that I may have missed something. For me, yesterday was a beautiful substitute for the "real thing". Beautiful mini concert from beginning to end. I have to watch it again, ideally on the big screen.

Just watched the Brian May interview from a couple days ago. The Flash Gordon stuff was really interesting most of which I didn't know. He pointed out the health issues would have caused a problem this year no matter what. So I was most pleased to hear him say they will be ready to go next year. He pointed out that out of half a million tickets sold only 300 people requested refunds. So let's hope this works out. I rewatched a few of the songs from last night. I will rewatch the whole thing after I get back from the dentist! I noticed at the end of the show Adam said see you next year! I had/have tickets for QAL in Amsterdam. I thought about requesting a refund but how they are working the refunds (for my tickets anyway) is that they don't issue the refund until after the new concert date (May 30, 2021) so since I won't get the money until next year anyway, I figured I would keep my tickets in the hopes that I will be able to fly there in May (from CA) - fingers crossed. I finally got an Email from regarding my refund for Adam's solo Helsinki crt. and they claim it will be processed in 2 weeks. That's months after the show was cancelled (and I had an expensive VIP ticket) but at least they're getting to it. I was also checking for Queen tickets for 2021. I couldn't make those dates this year but perhaps could next year. As Brian said, however, nobody has returned tickets & there is nothing for sale. I hope they add some concerts because I'm sure the demand will be there. I'm also so glad Adam can make money from these kind of arena shows - the small venues like Bowery and El Rey are amazing for the fans - not to mention how reasonably priced the initial tickets were - but I can't imagine he makes all that much after expenses.

That's very disappointing - though I remember Shoshanna saying this as well. I hope SO much he can squeeze a few Velvet crts in like he did last Dec. Doesn't have to be a huge tour because, if we can, we'll travel to hear him live. It could be years before his label funds another album.

I love looking at the artwork on vintage vinyl album covers and sleeves. Joni Mitchell's designed her album covers as she was also a painter and she had some very creative covers. Here are a couple: The personality of the artist can really be brought out in their vinyl album covers. I love Adam's Velvet vinyl cover!

Doesn't have to be a huge tour because, if we can, we'll travel to hear him live. It could be years before his label funds another album. Maybe some one-offs and not a tour would be possible. But when things are up an running, EVERYONE will be trying to book and N/A may take some time, later than Europe. So there just may not be much time for many solo dates in 2021. Or unfortunately there may be a pecking order that Adam has no control over. So I hope Adam will get back out with Queen (I'm sure they have people with major resources and status) until things are sorted out and things work out for him. Unlike a lot of other artists, who have also been hurt, Adam has a ready made tour with QAL ready to go when safe. So grateful for that.

Just starting to watch the Pride concert. I like Adam's shirt, but doesn't it make him look like he's got a tummy? I can't decide whether it's just an illusion or, like the rest of us, he's been cooking and baking lol.
Not a fan of Love Don't, but I'll reserve judgement until I hear it in this concert. I wasn't a fan of On The Moon either, and completely fell in love with the Corden version. Made my jaw drop actually.
Ok, back to watching...I keep getting interrupted. For some reason, it's always quiet...until I try to watch something, and suddenly everybody needs to talk to me!
