This is off-topic, but I've been trying to find any relatively recent article where Simon mentions or is asked about Adam? He had such lovely things to say about him back in the day, I was curious how he felt now. I saw the X Factor UK performance by Queen+Adam and Simon looked like a proud papa, and I gather that he thinks highly enough of Adam's skills/character/marketability/? to have him be a judge/mentor on X Factor Australia. But I was hoping for something more direct, somewhere. A lot of the other people from AI (Randy, Paula, Ryan, Michael Orland, Ricky Minor, etc.) have spoken warmly about him over the years, but I can't find Simon. I know he dislikes AI now and won't be back for the reboot, but does he still feel fondly for those contestants he thought highly of? Is there anything out there since the time Simon left AI? I think there is something from when Adam did AU XF. Maybe someone can find it? Oh, that would be cool. I hope someone can find it.

I really like Shoshanna, but in this case, I think this question would have been better to ignore. Because Glamberts don't see it as an "IDK" They see it as "OMG! NO ALBUM UNTIL 2019. WTF?!!!!!!!" LOL, that pretty much sums it up. But to put it another way, I can't help but be disappointed that at this point, an album in 2018 is still an IDK proposition. I "get" why Adam loves QAL, I do, but I really don't think it gets him as much attention outside the Glambert/Queen fanbases, especially in the U.S., as some believe it does. I have no idea what market Adam's new music may fit into - and he may not, either - but he's been largely invisible to the contemporary music marketplace for years now. It seems like he needs to start from scratch with each era because he's off the radio for so long between each project. For those of us who don't turn cartwheels over QAL, it gets wearisome. Clearly Adam does what he wants, and that's his prerogative. I'm not about to go onto Twitter or Instagram and bitch about his career choices. However, that doesn't necessarily mean I have to be happy about them. I was really, really hoping that after the Oz/NZ shows, the balance of 2018 would be Solo!Adam. Obviously that isn't the case, so I'll have to bide my time and hope for the best. Unfortunately, there are a significant number of fans of Solo!Adam who are more inclined to give up and wander away than continue waiting, and it makes me sad. Clearly it's a chance he's willing to take and a price he's willing to pay, but I hope when he does decide to release Era4, there will be enough fans who still care to make it worthwhile from his POV.

The interesting thing is, if there are no plans yet for the release of a new album, why did Adam go and hire Shosh back? What does he need PR for? Maybe there's another project, which isn't the album?

Well, then maybe Glamberts should just get a grip and chill. Adam has basically said it's "on simmer" or something like that. I am not at all surprised that an album may not be out this year. I think her answer was just fine

Well she did say "We don't know yet". So to me at least that is saying Logistcially no roll out plan has been established yet. He is going to be on tour with Queen most of this year. So I Think common sense prevails here. Won't get the album very least end of the year, probably next year. That well be four years after his last studio cut. But that is the way it is. This is why I love Adam. He has always marched to his own drummer. Since he has been active in the entertainment industry since Idol and is a multi-multi millionaire, he has obviously done something right. I would always love to hear original music, but having him present in the industry any way we can get him is A-OK by me. What a success story he is! Also, as it seems Shoshanna is back on board with him, something must be up...?

Maybe there's another project, which isn't the album? oh, I am sure the album is in the mix of whatever else he is doing! I read the tweet as "the schedule has not been finalized" due to probably too many moving pieces...and yes, I am upset about it but having QAL makes the wait sort of "easy" for me - from the vocal POV I doubt his own songs with challenge him as much as Queen songs so consistently do and I kinda live for those riffs ..plus the financial side of QAL is most probably unbeatable...

When people say how unprofessional Shoshana is, I can't help but think she must doing something right to have clients like Britney Spears, John legend, Jennifer Lopez, etc. I don't think Adam would put up with someone he doesn't like. I am curious, though, why he left and came back.

I thought concensus through discussions was that QAL has their own PR, so with little work on behalf of strictly Adam related projects last year there would have been no point in paying fees for retention of her services. As per the post a few back...because he has retained her again...there is a good...well perhaps great chance ...she has some work ahead on behalf of Adam😁😁😁.
