I am just logging in.
Got myself that Kronenzeitung's article in German and it is very long and covers a lot of ground. While most is about his work with Kerry and praise for her, there are a few other interesting tidbids. But it will take a minute to get through it all (it's long). Wish I had the English original and could save myself the trouble of translating back.
Regarding the only Adam relevant paragraph: He says 'a couple of shows', which just like in English, can either mean 'a few' or 'exactly two'. Given that he then says Las Vegas and London, I think he meant exactly two (so not a mini-US tour, sorry, if that destroys somebody's mashed potato reading here).
It is also correctly translated that they are in Las Vegas to perform with various artists....and they are hopeful to have AL join them (as in, it is not yet certain). And then the discussion seamlessly moves on to the movie.
If Queen comes for one concert to US to does a radio based show, like IHR, with current artists, and the participation of Adam in all this is not even finalized yet, then I am just shaking my head and not believing that I am actually writing this.
But, I can confirm, that this is what the Kronenzeitung is actually saying.
ETA: It is possible, that Brian used the words - I am hopeful - because Adam is between labels and until the new announcements are made, he is not able to say that it is a done deal. But anything else does not make sense.
Now, given that Sept. 19 should normally have been the start of Glee season (presumably with press for Adam), it would have made for incredibly busy times to also be practicing and getting ready for Las Vegas just two days later, but now, that the start of Glee is up in the air, this concern may have gone away.
Regarding Cory.....to be honest, I actually in this tragic situation have to hope that it turns out to be the drugs, rather than the other alternative. Not wishing that on Lea, the Glee management or in all its future implications possibly on Adam. This one has me really shaking right now, actually.
Will be back a little later with more translation from the Kronenzeitung's article.
