Queen + Adam Lambert Plot U.S. Summer Tour
Rock legends, 'American Idol' veteran set 25-city cross-country trek
By Ryan Reed
Queen + Adam Lambert announced an expansive summer tour that will launch June 23rd at Phoenix's Gila River Arena and take the group across the country through August 5th.
Tickets for the 25-city tour will go on sale Friday, February 3rd at 10 am local time via Live Nation, though nembers of Queen and Adam Lambert's fan clubs can buy tickets beginning Tuesday, January 31st at 10 am.
Queen and Lambert wrapped their most recent trek last September, a 15-date jaunt that included shows throughout Europe and Asia.
The Queen/Lambert collaboration began in 2009 with a performance on the eighth season of American Idol, when guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor teamed up with Lambert, then a contestant on the singing competition. The trio subsequently performed together at the MTV Europe Awards in Belfast in 2011, followed by a joint concert with Elton John the next year in Kiev.
After a mini-tour in 2012 and a headlining performance at Las Vegas' iHeartRadio Music Festival the following year, the revamped Queen launched a series of full-scale tours over the next three years. Since 2011, the band has been supported onstage by keyboardist Spike Edney, bassist Neil Fairclough and percussionist/Taylor's son, Rufus Tiger Taylor.
While Queen haven't united with Lambert in the recording studio, the rock legends performed the singer's solo single "Ghost Town" during their 2015 tour, transforming it from a dance-floor banger into a monstrous arena rocker. The supergroup released the concert LP Live in Japan last year.
In 2014, Queen released the compilation Queen Forever, which features previously unreleased tracks with vocalist Freddie Mercury and bassist John Deacon. It also includes "There Must Be More to Life Than This," a duet between Mercury and Michael Jackson.

If you want to give to another RESCUE organization, scroll down for info about how to include it in this campaign.
Here is some information about WALK ME HOME RESCUE GROUP.
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
WALK ME HOME RESCUE GROUP is an all-volunteer non-profit organization under IRS section 501(c)(3) and relies solely on donations to care for the animals we rescue.
We mostly serve Southern California but we have adopted out to Northern California, Arizona, Oregon and Las Vegas. We are a foster based rescue, our animals are placed in loving temporary foster homes until we find them their perfect forever family.
While in their foster home the dogs receive basic training skills in the hopes of facilitating a smoother transition into their new forever family.
Our rescue companion animals are saved mostly from street abandonment, owner surrenders and the high kill shelter facilities.
Animals saved from the shelter are primarily rescued from the EUTHANASIA LIST.
About Our Rescue Group:
We participate in animal rescue fairs and events, and work to educate the community about the importance of spaying/neutering and its impact toward controlling over population.
Our MISSION is to safeguard, rescue, shelter, heal, adopt, educate and ADVOCATE for animals in need.
Please consider fostering today. Join our mission to give our companion animals a second chance at a life full of security, love, health and happiness.
Our Adoption Process:
The adoption fee ranges from $150 to $300 which is based on the vetting provided to each individual animal which includes all current vaccinations micro chip and spay or neuter.
Adopters must complete an Adoption Application and pass a Home Safety Check as a pre-requisite to adopting one of our companion animals. A contract is required to finalize the process.
Our Adopted Pets:
We have helped lots of pets connect with loving and caring owners. Check out our adopted pets list!

Why Donate?There is more to this than celebrating Adam’s birthday. Every 13 seconds a dog or cat is euthanized and each year 2.4 million animals are put down. Our mission is to lower these numbers, but we can't do it without your help! In order to continue rescuing dogs and cats we need to be able to pay for vaccinations, microchips, spaying/neutering, and other essential supplies. Every penny can make a difference!
How to Donate?
You can donate Paypal. If you don't know how to use Paypal, or do not want to, you can email WMHRG at walkmehomerescue@gmail.com and they can give you some other options.
Donate here: www.walkmehomerescue.org/donate
It only takes a minute and you will get an email receipt in of your donation almost immediately. No donation is too small and no donation is too big!
When you donate, you can add a message. Just indicate that it is to celebrate Adam Lambert’s birthday and they can credit it to our Adam Lambert’s Birthday campaign.

What if you want to make a donation to another rescue organization?
I am working with WMHRG to track donations. If you have another local rescue organization you want to give to and you want me to include the donation(s) in the total, just PM the group name, location and amount. I will add it to the total and we can list all the organizations on what we send to Adam.
Just do what feels right to you.
