He didn't collaborate to get a tour, I doubt he will collaborate just to get more radio airplay.
If he collaborates on a single, my hope is that it is because it is a great creative effort and not an opportunistic marketing scheme. JMHO YMMV.

At risk of opening up a can of worms again, wow, way to take a discussion out of context. Did anyone once say that Adam needed to "collaborate just to get more airplay"? No, I think the argument was repeatedly, if he wants to do it and it's a good match and a guaranteed radio-in is an end benefit, why the hell not consider it?
Adam is a collaborative artist, which has nothing to do with his solo artist status or him opening or not opening for other acts (red herring analogies, that have nothing to do with the initial point, IMO). He has mentioned MANY people he'd LOVE to collaborate with. If that defines a "sellout" to some, well, I don't know ... it certainly doesn't for me.
Now you may not agree that a collaboration is the best thing for him, fine. What we thing has nothing to do with what he wants to do or thinks he should or the relationships he's building in all facets of his industry (corporate, public, media, personal, etc.) He's the one who make the decision if a relationship he has formed is a project he wants to pursue. He does it with every writing and producing partnership multiple times a week.
He fields offers constantly, most likely and extends as many, probably. Some might fall from the sky – a random meeting at an AI finale, perhaps. He throws a lot out into the universe via interviews or Twitter. If someone of major status who he has said openly he'd LOVE to collaborate with extended an offer, do you think he'd turn it down? I don't. If something was requested by Sony brass, I'm sure he wouldn't turn it down either.
And "an opportunistic marketing scheme"?? IDK, that doesn't sound like any part of the Adam Lambert I've been following these 2.5 years. JMHO YMMV
Thanks for saying exactly what I am thinking. Every word. 8-)
And I feel that if Adam wants a collab then he damn well should have one and I hope it is great and all that he wants it to be.
Guess I'm team-
