Just received my last Vegas ticked refund from Ticketmaster. Took forever but that’s understandable. Still so sad these shows never happened. Would have been so much fun. Ticketmaster now says "Your Account Has Been Updated" but there is no sign of a refund yet for my 3 tickets.

I have seen situations where Daughtry has had songs released many, many years ago go platinum (in recent times) and the same with Scotty Mccreery. With all the streaming numbers and video views that Adam has accumulated, I would think that FYE/album would be platinum by now in the US and the same with IIHY the single. They were both pretty close years ago when he was getting radio play. Maybe even GT. I keep seeing several Idols upgraded from time to time but never anything for Adam. I know with name recognition and the money Adam has made, the others pale in comparison. But isn't it a good thing to show for your record of work? When the new system started to include streams and video views for certifications, I always expected him to benefit with some upgrades. But have never seen anything for him. longtime lurker but thought I'd pop in to respond to this. Those Daughtry songs sold platinum long long ago. But RCA didn't certify them. For some reason RCA never certified a whole bunch of Idol alum singles in the early 2010s. Kelly, Daughtry and Adam were all effected (he could have a double platinum for WWFM and a plat for IIHY). Instead RCA only certified their albums. Right before Daughtry went on the Masked Singer all of his singles were belatedly certified. This was no doubt done so that the show could say the contestants had 30 (or whatever number) platinum and gold records. So this wasn't a matter of old Daughtry records continuing to sell and stream and reaching gold or platinum status. They had reached that status years ago, the label never certified, and either the Masked Singer or Daughtry new management certified them when he left RCA and was going to be on the show. That being said, its a crime that WWFM and IIHY were never certified and someone in Adam's camp should really do something about that. But perhaps he doesn't care. lurleene, As usual, I am totally with you on this topic. We've expressed our frustrations and puzzlements a bunch of times. I do find it interesting, though, that when all these various pop music polls and articles, etc. with all the big names in music, Adam is still included most of the time. And yet, his sales and streams, while decent, never get him to the top of the charts. And it's NOT because his music isn't good enough. Far from it. He says he's through with chasing the charts. Well, that's fine. But it's still a shame that a artist as talented and likable as Adam struggles to get a decent spot on the charts. If he never sang one single song with Queen, his own music should carry him to a much higher spot. And nycgrl, thanks for the background info on Idol and record labels and their involvement with certifying albums, even long after the fact. Looks like there is often musical game-playing when it comes to awarding certification. I can see why Adam has said that the music business if really f-ked up. But regardless of all the shenanigans, I'm going to be a loyal fan for as long as I'm around, because a singer like Adam only comes around once in a lifetime.

MeggyMeg i understand your grieve! I was supost to go to five concerts this year...the smallest one is sceduled for the end of october...we'll see what happens, the rest ist postponed and Adam solo is cancelled. I'm more upbeat than it seems because i might enjoy the concerts more next year, when i have a more permanent Job. I do still feel slightly bummed about it and i miss my sanity that's fading away...

Some comments.. ilozvI am one of the biggest Freddie fans so I refused hard to listen this guy so far. I was lucky enough beeing to the legendary show in 86 Budapest. Since then I tought it's a kind of blasphemy to substitute Freddie by anyone. I tought Queen finished when Freddie died. I was wrong. Freddie is proud of it I am sure. This performance is incredible... Thank you guys and - I never tought I will write it down once - please keep it going. God save you. blackdaggerhood73What a stunning voice....What a performer ....What a pleasure to hear this...the voice range is incredible. Adam Lambert is a superstar on his own and this is why he's queen's frontman today. As Brian said, they were lucky enough to have found twice in their life two incredible singers and performers swimming in the same river and with the same spirit. Can't wait to see them on stage. Thanks to Brian, Roger and Adam to bring back Queen to life . Love you guys. Lisa Lauderdale TrustyIn the 70’s and the 80’s when I was growing up they were one of the best group’s to EVER to perform! I really loved them!! And I thought it would be very impossible for anyone to be right up there with Freddie Mercury but I was definitely wrong! Adam Lambert really got it down right!! He is really good.... And I’m so glad that the band has a reason to perform again.... I want to thank Queen for coming back and giving us what we’ve missed for so long... And that is being such a perfect group and entertaining us ones again... We all love you here in Tennessee! Much love to all of you!!💕💕 www.youtube.com/watch?v=odtNNiIzv1k
