From what I'm reading it was Dr Bri who "crowned" Adam. A kind of passing of the torch to the new "Queen" ... so basically if he and Roger and down with it then I'm all good. (not that I wasn't anyway). See that is what I'm wondering...did Adam even know about the crown or was he wearing it when he return I the leopard suit? If Brian put it on his head then the fans can't really hold that against Adam (not that it will stop them because many Queen fans are irrational in their dislike of everything Adam). For the record I don't hold it against Adam.....or even bri or rog. I don't like everything any of them do....and this is just something I wasn't a fan of...I just had a sinking feeling...something I didn't want at a gig like this. I mean now now that it's happened, I'll be prepared and it won't bother me as much....I think.

Thank you, lynneville, it was so great to have a livestream of that epic concert! On the other hand ... now I'm even more sad than before that I don't have the chance to see that show live!

Just my two cents but if anyone is insulted by Adam wearing a gold crown, then tbh ppl are way too insensitive. I see this as an homage, its not like its the same crown haha i mean ppl think too much. And i dont expect 100% positivity at QueenOnline, no one well ever be Freddie in their minds and they are prob most likely right. But this is not a challenge or test to purists, Adams not trying to ruin his legacy, he just really really really really likes singing haha. I think Adams the ONLY one on the planet who can do justice, and i feel its taken him five years, but hes finnally embracing hes a worldwide megastar. Maybe I'm being insensitive, but I adored Freddie and think all the to-do about the crown is silly. It was a beautiful, theatrical gesture with no disrespect intended. Presidents are replaced, royalty dies and a successor is crowned, fathers retire and sons take over the business, it is the nature of things. To me, it's about INTENT, and the intent here was to make people smile and create a memorable moment at the end of this fabulous concert. To make it anything else, to me, is looking for an issue where there is none.

mehitabel, don't forget all the hours and hours and hours of video watching we have ahead of us! Looking forward to many mornings lost to coffee and Adam performances. It has been too long! And IMO, this tour will get betterer and betterer. OMG - don't even want to think about how many hours .........

Now that I have seen this, I am even more upset that I can't see any of the shows in person. Couple of days ago I told my husband that I really wished we had gotten tickets for the LA show (it's our anniversary - he wasn't going for it) and he said he still wasn't interested because it's not Queen without Freddie - I would have backhanded him except we were doing 80 on the freeway. How about you suggest it is what you would like for your anniversary? Seems reasonable to me. It's not like a show like this happens every day or even every year! reasonable, practical - not in the equation I think it's a guy thing.

Nice response, graciejane. Just trying to put myself on the other side of the equation, how I would feel if there was someone using something that I strongly identified with Adam. I think what talon was saying was that seeing the crown brought back the loss of Freddie. I think I would feel the same initially.

Just to add...maybe it's just that sadness in me that I won't ever get to see Freddie....perform or create anything new. And seeing Adam crowned so to speak...just hits that pit that never goes away fully. Everything else seemed to be a celebration of Queen's legacy and very respectful . This seemed....to be counter to all of that. I know I'm overtired and part of it is just the bitterness that as much as I am grateful to Adam for helping the boys back on the road..and how awesome this show will be and I get to see Brian and roger whom I love as much as Freddie....but I can't really ever get hat feeling. So unlike many Queen purists I will take so e responsibility for the negative feeling I had and I know it wasn't meant to be disrespectful.... So I'll stop. Considering it's 5 min of a 2 hr show,. I had no complaints about anything else,.ok maybe that they didn't do white queen... I feel you bud. You have contributed beyond imagination here and your honest response is more than appreciated. That will never be considered disrespectful. Consideration of others is something we should all always keep in mind. Many hughs and thanks to you. This. We owe a lot to Talon and Q3 for their expertise in all things Queen. It's certainly made the new songs more enjoyable for me to hear the back story.
