Man, Adam looks stunning! ...and Roger! I love the way he dresses!.... Brian definitely has his own "look". I always giggle at his white sneakers (didn't think anyone wore white sneakers anymore)... the man can do whatever he wants as far as I'm concerned. He's fabulous! Over there they call sneakers = trackers
They do not have the selection of great workout shoes as we have over here in the US. Most of their workout shoes are fugly so I can understand Brian's penchant for the white shoes. They actually look more American. Someone needs to introduce Brian to an American sporting goods store. Some of the workout shoes are quite phenominal, and in beautiful, trendy colors and expensive. By Adam's standards they would be cheap.
Adam really loves clothes, doesn't he!!! I wouldn't be surprised if is not able to write a lot of the clothes as a business expense for tax purposes. I am sure since this is a business trip that pricey sweatshirt was probably written off as such.
You really cannot write-off clothes that can be worn on an everyday basis. All of his costumes that are worn on tour on stage can be written off, IF he does not wear them for every day. So that sparkly "sweat shirt" is all him.  |

I don't think Adam can write off any clothes that he wears anywhere but onstage only.

While he may have certainly shelled out the bucks or pounds in this case, I do bet he gets a lot of things either free or at huge discount. How many people know what brand his clothes are, where he purchased them, etc... Advertising that can't be bought at any price. In the case of the "sweatshirt" perhaps he was just cold!!!

ultimateclassicrock.com/2014-tours/?trackback=twitter_topBEST TOURS OF 2014by Nick DeRiso Rock’s best 2014 tours often worked on a theme — sad goodbyes, loving looks back, a joyous homecoming. Then, there were the ones who simply plugged in and played, the ones slowed by illness, the ones we never saw coming. It was quite a year. We enjoyed the homecoming with Fleetwood Mac, as they returned with their classic-era lineup for the first time in more than 15 years. We cheered for Paul McCartney, who struggled through a portion of his 2014 tour before rallying. (The same couldn’t be said for ZZ Top, however, despite a promising start on a tandem tour with Jeff Beck. They’ll play some of those now-rescheduled shows next year.) We reminisced with John Fogerty, who explored Creedence Clearwater Revival‘s most productive era; and with Sammy Hagar, who took us on a “Journey through the History of Rock.” We turned it up with Kiss and Def Leppard as they dug out old favorites, and we said farewell to Motley Crue and the Allman Brothers Band. Both stopped touring, but not before offering some of their most memorable shows ever. How did they rank among Rock’s Best 2014 Tours? Here’s our list … 10. Queen with Adam Lambert Queen and Adam Lambert finally turned their attentions to North America, having only appeared together on a series of overseas dates since first collaborating on 2009's 'American Idol' finale. Lambert, Brian May and Roger Taylor played a month of dates this summer, blending songs both familiar and obscure ('Love Kills!') along the way. Whether this is Queen's final tour remained a question mark, however, as May -- in an opening press conference -- said, "Let's rock those beautiful arenas just one more time.” Top 10 Queen Albums

When he names the designer in his IG, I figure "free" or very close to it! |

I am pretty sure that I have posted this before, but it is an interview with Helen Mirren where she talks about movie stars and how while they may look ordinary, they feel wonderful because the quality materials of the t-shirt, or sweatshirt in our case, is so much more luxurious. This is how I imagine Adam now, normal but in a luxurious way. Starts about 2:10 ... thedailyshow.cc.com/videos/pw55ko/helen-mirren |

I think Adam leaves his "Queen" money in Europe - as in the Euro. The dollar's value is not what it used to be. Look at any clothes or cosmetics from Europe and the cost in dollars is very high. So he gets the beautiful European fabrics/materials and designs for a much better price than if he bought them here with dollars.
His look is part of his celebrity/identity. Now, the last time I saw those boots, the sole on one of them was flapping like a tongue. He is good at having clothes, etc. redone/repaired. As we have noticed, most things reappear sooner or later. Not the turqoise board shorts, however. Hmmm. Wonder where they are?

I missed a lot this afternoon during one of my work holiday parties! Some random thoughts:
-Adam's looking really good!
-Brian is Brian and shouldn't change his shoes or his look for anyone
-Roger is quite dapper
-Could Roger have said anything nicer? So awesome.
