Glad to hear I am not the only one watching the gifs and the skating video over and over and over. Sometimes I wonder if I am "normal". Funny story from the office today. I have a couple of Adams calendars up in my office - I am "out" as a Glambert to my co workers. Yesterday my husband hurt his knee at work - so he is off for a couple of days. Today one of my co workers asked me " is your boy ok - is he feeling better ?" I answered "oh yah the show went on in Milan ... " my co worker started to laugh and I realized and said "Oh you mean Matthew (my husband) not Adam" ....... Shows you where my head was at - we all had a good laugh at the office - I don't have the heart to tell my husband his health wasn't top of mind for me. I can so identify with this comment. My family and friends have gotten so used to it they send me news slips of QAL or ask what is Adam up to now? The obsession has not died down in 6 years.

Elle's Economy (Blog) elleseconomy.com/2015/02/12/classy-classic-queen/Classy Classic QueenTuesday night I was lucky enough to see Queen performing in Milan with Adam Lambert. Queen, well what’s left of Queen, still has it and Adam Lambert brought along insane vocal and performance skills, along with something even more rare in the music industry. He’s a very classy guy. After Kanye West’s ridiculous behavior over Beck’s Grammy Sunday night, it was an absolute pleasure to see someone so young treating those who came before him with genuine respect. (Kayne and his wife are truly cut from the same cloth, two champions of the selfie-nation, utterly lacking any grace while ignorantly blustering about their own magnificence; must be exhausting to live staring at yourself in the mirror.) Adam was clearly utterly loving being on stage with the band and gave the audience his very best. His solo career hasn’t yet taken off to the degree that his talent suggests, hopefully this experience will help him find his own “voice” and let us enjoy him much more. Queen played most of the classics and Adam kept the audience in the palm of his hand throughout evening. I have to say it was pretty awesome to hear an forum full of Italians belting out Queen hits for all they were worth! The opening performances had Adam seriously channeling George Michael Faith-style, which embarrassingly had me feeling like a teen groupie… economist/investor/world-traveller/Lambert groupie? Perhaps I was still suffering from jet lag. Yeah, let’s go with that. Bohemian Rhapsody was a bit of a tear-jerker duet between Adam on stage and a Freddie Mercury video on a massive screen above. If you get the chance and are a lover of classic rock, I highly recommend seeing this tour, or the more than likely one that will follow after Queen’s next album with recently discovered Freddy Mercury tracks drops later this year. It was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Here’s “Who Wants to Live Forever” from the evening. Hear all the Italians singing along… love how music is so universal. (Oh and by the way, the show just a few days before this one was cancelled because Adam had bronchitis. Talk about a professional! Music and class makes for a great evening.)

What is Adam getting for this tour?
No one but Queen org, LiveNation and Adam + his team know what he is getting but he almost certainly has a guarantee + a bonus for sales over X% of hours + percentages of all the VIP upgrades, merchandise and concessions.
Rough, conservative numbers....
The tour is probably netting Queen + Adam 30%-40% of gross ticket sales -- over $30 million for 61 concerts + about $12-$15 million for all the VIP upgrades + merchandise and concessions + artist's ticket allocation (which are mostly sold). $50+ million or so. Adam is probably getting $10-15 million -- Adam has to pay his management and other team members and he has to pay taxes.
No matter how you slice it, he can do a lot of shopping and still save/shelter a lot of money.
I am sure that Adam has a great deal because 1. No Adam, no tour 2. This tour is tightly run. 3. Tickets are very expensive and the sold a ton of VIP and Club tickets. The VIP/Club upgrades almost entirely go to the artists.
>> I am no confidence in the above numbers. Just based on other tours where the numbers are known.

Wow just catching up with the videos from Milan, and these videos by theVOZ90 are great! You can see Adam clearly as he goes around the B stage in RGG.. so many happy shining faces.. check out the reaction of the girl at 2:59, and the guy blowing him a kiss and waving to Adam as he gets back onto the stage at 3:19. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW2_t-R0yMo
