So, it seems Adam is talking about content for his social media. I have thought for awhile now, that he didn't really do his own instagram (which is the only SM I have) Most of it is supporting others. Rarely is there anything personal. I don't have tik tok so I can't speak to that. Releasing cool music is enough for me, too. I hope whoever he has as a SM manager starts earning his keep. I think that when Adam is supporting others on Instagram, then it’s actually himself posting. It’s his own advertisements for shows or appearances that are posted by someone else. I noticed that last year during some of his concerts in Europe. The person doing his social media had a bad timing. They posted several times, while Adam had been on stage. It even happened, while Adam was performing about 5 meters in front of me. Since then I have been sure that there’s someone else posting as well as Adam. Also Adam‘s Facebook account is IMO 100% run by that person, similar to his Twitter. While Instagram is about 50/50. And TikTok has probably 100% Adam so far. All that‘s simply based on my personal impressions.

I have seen someplace, don't remember where, that Roger's house in LA is up for sale. If true, maybe he plans on pulling out of The Wild as well, at some point. It could be both Roger and Adam provided financial backing in the beginning to get it started. Appeared in the beginning for their names and now will move on. Sarina is still posting, but that doesn't mean they are still involved in the running of the bar. I always wondered why Oliver had anything to do with it. He and his friend Stephen seemed to host many Friday nights. It just seemed odd to me. The timing of Roger selling his house in Weho now is more likely not related to The Wild. Roger has owned that house for more than 40 years. He wouldn’t sell it, because he pulls out of a (still new) investment.

Just putting inner thoughts out there. The Adam news re withdrawal from The Wild… was interesting to learn. Who knows …maybe Adam was fronting just at the start to get a “job” for Oliver, and test the waters as to the viability of the project. Hmmm.. could the investment have been transferred to Oliver? Only time will give us clues. Was there not some mention of helping the previous owners out while dealing with family crisis or issues…and then they would get back into it?? Forget… Not as if Adam is not busy enough. Transferred to Oliver? Why? He’s already working there. I don’t see Oliver getting more involved with this. His jobs and education so far have all been in the world of fashion.

Maybe Adam just didn't have the time to be heavily invested in the bar and the other partner does. Other than in the beginning, where Adam was promoting the bar, you hardly saw Adam or Roger. It was everyone else visiting the establishment and posing for pictures. I think celebrities who have full and prosperous careers, find it hard to stay front and center with these ventures. I posted yesterday about Luke Bryan's bar where a young man went missing after being at the establishment. They were throwing Luke's name around cause he is the star but it seems others were running the bar and Luke was maybe just an investor. So if Adam is out, for whatever reason, he has so much going on with his career to keep him busy. And I'm sure Roger and Adam's friendship remains intact as it seems that Roger is an owner in name only too. So whatever went into Adam's business decision is his business and we may or may not find out (and that's okay). But maybe hanging out in a bar (even if an owner) all the time on his time off was too boring for him and was of little benefit to his career or his finances. It’s still surprising that Adam seems to have dropped everything concerning The Wild so suddenly by the end of January (or around that time). The whole design of the bar shows his handwriting. The counter and the walls look the same as in his house. Roger and his wife Sarina have only been financial partners from the start. They have been at the VIP opening, but didn’t even stay another 2 days for the official opening of the bar. But still, their pictures are on The Wild’s Instagram account and Sarina reposts all their ads. Meanwhile Adam is completely scratched from The Wild‘s social media history. Therefore I doubt that he still plays any role in that bar. Apart from the fact that his partner is still a host on Friday nights. But Oliver hasn’t been in town for several weeks now, so we will see, for how long he will go on doing that.

I don't particularly care if Adam is still an investor in The Wild, but do hope nothing has happened to affect his relationship with Roger Taylor. I don’t think so. I guess whatever has happened, happened before Adam left for Japan. And Adam and Roger were often seen laughing together on tour. Adam unfollowed the other co-owner and his partner after his pictures had disappeared from The Wild‘s Instagram page. Maybe Adam and this co-owner, who’s also working as the manager of the bar, didn’t find common ground on some business aspects.

I wonder, what was the occasion for this gorgeous pic of Adam. Also,I just saw an instagram of Terrence in Abu Dhabi....it gets very confusing when there's no date for the actual pic. Terrance is in LA. He was in Abu Dhabi and Dubai , where he worked for the Hamilton musical. He returned to LA the day before Oliver left for Sydney.

I am pleased that this vocalist is very impressed with Adam with Queen. I also agree that seeing them in concert is a wonderful opportunity. HOWEVER, I am so tired of people comparing Adam to Freddie and saying that no one can compare, but he does a good job. This guy goes further and talks about how similar Adam's singing is to Freddie's. WTF??? No, Adam's voice is NOT similar to Freddie's. 1. Freddie was a high baritone. Adam is a high tenor. 2. Freddie can sing lower than Adam. But, Adam can comfortably and reliably sing higher than Freddie (tenor, right?). 3. Adam's vibrato is quite different from Freddie's. Slower and more controlled. 4. Adam's tone is quite different from Freddie's. To me, Freddie sounds more astringent and strained. Adam's, while it can be bright, is not brittle. His voice has more harmonic richness. It has a purer, more ringing, resonant sound. 5. Adam's breath control is stronger and more managed. 6. Adam's technique is much more developed, controlled, and consistent. Very rarely does his voice crack, or miss a note. His passaggio (shift from chest to mixed to head voice) is smoother without discernable breaks. 7. Adam can sing every Queen song in the catalog live, in the original key and with all the highest notes. Freddie couldn't. 8. Adam's voice is healthy. Freddie's often wasn't. IMHO, Freddie as the best singer in rock/pop music is largely a myth. Increased since his death. Yes, he was good. And his composing skills are legendary. His stage presence was huge. Taking nothing away from his legacy. But, please stop comparing Adam to Freddie as a second-best stand in for Freddie. I so agree with what you wrote! But I‘ve one question (no idea, if you know the answer): I watched another video where Adam‘s and Freddie‘s voices were compared. To my and I think everyone’s surprise it showed that Adam‘s lowest notes that he sang live are actually lower than Freddie’s. While Freddie’s voice in general sat naturally lower, Adam can sing lower than Freddie? This had puzzled me years ago and I‘m still wondering, if it’s really true? Maybe because Adam hardly ever uses his lower voice. youtu.be/v1MivyMbKwE?si=-YrfWQFlcKskRJCu (I‘m not sure, that’s the right video(I‘ve seen so many over the years).

I‘m regularly in Denmark and my cousin even moved there (from Germany) about 20 years ago. It’s a nice country with mostly happy and liberal people. But it’s also a very small country and therefore very protective of its history and way of life. Some years ago I also thought about moving there, but as a German (or also other countryman), who wants to immigrate, you will see that some Danes are suddenly not that friendly anymore and some I would call openly racists. I know, you can find some of them in every country, but since Denmark is so protective of its heritage (for instance, if you moved there, until recently, you had to take on a typical Danish surname!), I found them there more noticeable than in most other countries I‘ve visited. Denmark is a rather small though (only -5mio population) and most people are really friendly and open-minded. But in this small world I‘ve never so far seen someone dressed like Oliver. And we all know, how some people react, when they see/meet someone, who doesn’t fit into their view of the world. Having been born in Germany, and moving to the US when I was 13, I can understand a little bit the desire to preserve your country's history and way of life. The Germany I left is not the Germany now anymore...at least the part I was born in is now a melting part of different cultures and the result has not necessarily been a happy one (according to my relatives that still live there). Unfortunately, sometimes changes bring out the worst in people. I agree in general. But I also think that the Law of Jante says exactly, what you might experience in Denmark or Norway, if you stay a little longer and try to get to know some people a bit better. „You‘re not to think you‘re as good as us.“ is one especially questionable law.

Denmark is my family's homeland on my mother's side. I have never been there, but I have always viewed it as a beautiful, liberal country. Interesting that Oliver gives us a different side of this when it comes to treatment of gays. And that Law of Jante is pretty scary. I hope he has a good time with his family and friends. My guess is that he will dress a bit to provoke a reaction. We'll soon find out. Adam join him after the Voice stint is over, I assume.
