I too feel that the words of the mother were harsh. I general I feel that a lot of people don't understand that celebrities need to protect themselves so they can keep on giving and not end up as AnnAdoresAdam said as an "empty shell"...even if it means denying a photo/autograph etc... ...that sayed: there is NOTHING normal about having to see your child suffer and knowing you're going to loose it...I can only wish peace and strength for the family...

Thank you Adam for this wonderful pic from M&G in Warsaw - one of the best TOHT concerts ever!

I'm really sorry for the boy and his family. :( But I think it's pretty unfair from them to blame Adam - I don't think he even knows about it all. That FB post and tweet were really harsh. I too feel for the injustice of terminal illness for a young child but if the family of every terminally ill fan of every artist reached out to them and the artist was expected to give something of themselves in return, they'd become an empty shell. I understand that the mother's anguish has given her a sense of entitlement and I'm sure had Adam known about it he'd have done something but my point is that he shouldn't be expected to in the first place. He's a pop singer, not Mother Teresa. I agree.

Sad for the family. But pretty unfair of them to publically vent their entitlement in this way. Totally agree with Anne above.

I was just thinking that this is the exact reason that organisations such as the ones she said she contacted (booking, label, management) most likely have a policy of not passing on such requests to the artist. It would be too much of a burden to them.

Oh and though I doubt anyone notices LOL, I've been a bit awol. Hope I didn't miss anything major. Life and all including a quick holiday to Cambodia - here's a quick snap I took walking through the captial Phnom Penh ... thought you all might enjoy playing "where's Adam" (I didn't notice until I was looking at the photo later - totally happenstance). So where's Adam?

I may have missed something but do we know that this lady IS his mother? Doesn't really sound like it from what I can read above
( my ipad decides for itself, what posts I can see at any one time and I can't now re-read - she was called Barbara I think)
