Yeah, it's a stretch but on the other hand, why post it now? The caption reads "adamlambert Bites the Dust in Manchester". Adam Lambert biting the dust on his Queen career in Manchester? Would make more sense if it were Wembley, the final show - but maybe he didn't have a biting the dust clip for that. I certainly hope that this does NOT mean that QAL will be ending their touring for good in either Manchester or at Wembley. The original Wembley Stadium was demolished from 2002–2003 and that's where Queen played with Freddie. The new stadium has 90,000 seats so how could QAL possibly fill Wembley Stadium for 2 nights as a solo act this spring? That would mean 180,000 tickets sold and fans have already seen QAL in the UK this past fall both in Manchester and in London. That's my thoughts as well. Why two nites at Wembley. IDK if 180,000 tickets are doable. Wonder how these tickets would be priced. Maybe if they were priced low enough, many more folks would attend. QAL will prob have to do essentially the same show they just did. If they have support acts...would make it more like a summer festival I guess.

AOBTD is Adam's fav Queen song (usually) and I think that is why he posted it. The Wembley Stadium capacity depends on how they configure the venue. Usually much lower than the full stadium capacity of 90,000. Although they can fit in almost 100,000 for a concert. I think selling the tickets for a QAL stadium show is just about pricing and/or special event. The bigger question is if they (Brian and Roger) want to do it. I can't see why Adam saying anything else but yes. >> I am not sure what is going to happen but it is clear that (barring anything terrible happening) QAL will not end after AU/NZ and more QAL is in the planning. I am really surprised because I really did not expect Brian to keep pushing on -- but he is inspiring to me.

I share your doubts about the possibility for QAL to fill Wembley twice (if the rumours are indeed true). It’s interesting, that there are less doubts about this on the Queen-Forums.😀 I just want to add, that it was stated, that QAL would have at least 2 support acts. The bands Bastille and Extreme were mentioned. I don’t know them, but I guess their fans could fill some seats?

Could potentially hit 200 million end of the year. At the current rate it just won't make that. It's expecting to hit 200 mil on 25 January 2019. But with some new music out which also boosts his other music that is a possibility!

I truly hope that when QAL does stop touring, they will continue to do one-offs now and then when they want to. They don't have to do huge tours. It's exhausting and really takes a toll mentally and physically,, esp. when you get a lot older. I would love to see QAL perform from time to time for special concerts, occasions, etc. It's less stressful then touring and still gives the fans their QAL fix.
