Hmm. Wonder if Roger will do it? He already did. Rogers wife posted about the Foo Fighters on her IG and thanked them for a very memorable anniversary of their wedding day. From the article: Foo Fighters Members Recruit Queen’s Roger Taylor for Live ‘Under Pressure’ Drummer joined for 1982 song during band’s surprise pop-up show in Los Angeles Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins recruited Queen drummer Roger Taylor on Sunday for a live cover of “Under Pressure,” the latter band’s 1982 hit with David Bowie. The performance – a warm-gig promoting the band’s upcoming October festival, Cal Jam – highlighted a surprise pop-up show at the parking lot of the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California. The all-star team-up occurred during an opening set from Hawkins’ covers band, Chevy Metal. The drummer’s Foo Fighters bandmates Pat Smear and Nate Mendel also joined for “Under Pressure”; Hawkins handled the Freddie Mercury portion of the vocal duet, with Chevy Metal’s Wiley Hodgden covering the Bowie melodies. As Ultimate Classic Rock reports, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl came onstage after “Under Pressure” and joined the band for a version of the Faces’ “Stay With Me.” Foo Fighters, who were billed as “the Holy Shits” for the show, then began their own rarities-heavy set with “White Limo.” Taylor is a longtime Foo friend, having appeared onstage with the Concrete and Gold band multiple times – including a 2006 cameo alongside Queen bandmate Brian May and helping form a “superdupergroup” with Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones in 2015.

Totally OT, but I just want to tall about this. I got my new Time Magazine today and it has an article on Troye Sivan. The article is written by author/journalist Raisa Bruner. The article was fine, but I was bothered by one section. She (Raisa) was talking about other gay singers or singers who "played around" with gender. She mentioned Elton John, David Bowie and Sam Smith. I was so disappointed that she did not mention Adam. After all, he is the first openly gay singer to have a #1 album on a major label. None of the others mentioned were able to do that. I wanted to contact her and I found her email address so that I could (politely and nicely) give her information about Adam. But the email process proved to be more complicated than I wanted to deal with, so I gave up. I really wanted her to know about Adam's achievement and that she should have been aware of it and included him in her article. Ok. My venting is over!

We all know this feeling!!!
@vibingwavery: the saddest thing is when the concert ends, ur fave leaves the stage & the lights turn on & you’re just staring at the stage sadly, watching everyone leave and realizing this amazing moment is over & u don’t know when you’ll experience it again

I was just thinking about the setlist this morning. Your setlist would be ideal. I'm afraid we might loose a few of our favorites. Perhaps they'll do a medley or two to squeeze in more songs. I think my hopes for Play the Game will be dashed. Fingers crossed they keep in TSMGO. They'll need at least one big ballad for Adam...I hope. I could see theym leaving of WWTLF in Vegas, especially if they leave in TSMGO. Don't think we'll get both. Brian's solo will have to be really cut back...if not eliminated IMO. Your 9-12 grouping looks the most problematic to me. I feel we might loose...if the 2 hr 15 minutes are cut back to like 1 1/2 hr - 1 3/4 hour are TYMD, some of 9-12, WWTLF. Interesting opening with FLASH. I was thinking they might leave in Tear it Up...but don't think it was a hit in the US...or maybe a fast WWRY instead. But FLASH would work well too. Adam mentioned after they set up and run thru it this week...there might be a surprise or two. So there's that. I think 90 mins overall duration is the maximum...could be even shorter imo...so the BIGGEST hits only most probably, which would mean no Save me or Love Kills, and no One Vision perhaps...I agree WWTLF or TSMGO will stay, But not both...the rest of the list sounds right on to me... i hope we’ll have at least audio recordings... I wonder what the theater policy re phones and taking pics is... I honestly never thought about them cutting down the time of the show that much....I just paid $321. USD...which is 416.09 Canadian, per show plus flight plus hotel plus everything else...and I really think that cutting back to 90 mins or less is really not cool. Perhaps I should have realized that...I don't know...but, jmho, it takes a lot of hubris to consider that fair or reasonable. Just sayin.....is it just me?

Same can be said for things Adam has done! @pride_site: Good question from singer @iamjohnduff on his #Girly pop diva dance moves: "If it makes you uncomfortable, then why doesn’t it make you uncomfortable when a 19-year-old girl is doing it?" bit.ly/2wqkCYr

They did not come clean with their identity in the beginning? If that is what she means then I am glad she did not put that lie on Adam. Or is she saying something else?

It means that they were dressing and/are acting in ways that society considers to be female rather than male. Fortunately, times have been changing! I remember when girls were not allowed to wear pants to school because it was considered to be too male. It was 1972 before we were allowed to wear pants with a long tunic top to school and another year before we could wear jeans and shirts like the boys.

No, I don't think she was accusing them of not "coming clean" in the beginning. I think she was picking examples of singers who played with sexuality in a brave and creative way. (esp. Elton and Bowie). I think she was admiring them for that. I definitely felt that Adam should have been mentioned also, since he is a brave and creative performer who isn't afraid to push the envelope when it comes to sexuality. At least I think that's what she meant.
