Does sound like they are planning a return to Vegas. I have been thinking maybe a slightly new show called "The Deep Cuts". Half - big hits and half just what Brian, Roger, and Adam want to perform.
First, of course, Adam solo. Should be interesting.

I have enjoyed the creative editing related to the FLD. A creative and funny way to address MY frustration with the still frequent referrals to a guy who has been gone for 27 years now. Let me put out MY opinion about this whole Freddie the frontman, Adam the "replacement" brouhaha. YMMV
1. Adam teaming with Queen allows them to continue to put on a spectacular show of wonderful music. Brian and Roger have both said they would not be doing this now if not for Adam. Adam gives new life to Queen.
2. If Freddie had not died of AIDS in 1991 would Queen still be performing? We'll never know, but I doubt it. Freddie was not anything near a fitness nut and he lived hard and fast. If he made it to age 72, I don't think he would have been in any kind of shape to be doing world tours in arenas. His voice almost certainly would not have held up. It was already frayed in the 1980s. His voice today would be a pale shadow of what it once was, and melodies, keys and harmonies would have to be altered and simplified in order for him to come close to singing them. His energy and stamina would be much less than in his heyday.
3. Adam today is at the height of his vocal prowess, his energy, his confidence, his beauty. He can handle anything and everything in the Queen repertoire, and do it repeatedly, consistently, over time. His energy carries the QAL performance.
4. Flat out, Adam is a better singer than Freddie.
5. Adam inspires Brian and Roger to new heights of performing. We know that Brian at least is kind of a stick in the mud who doesn't like to change things up or try new things. Adam's creativity, enthusiasm and energy, plus his potential as a frontman, encourage Brian and Roger to do more, imagine more. Plus, Adam shares the spotlight and, in typical theater form, throws the attention to Brian and Roger during their solos and features. Adam has encouraged Brain to be more front and center.
6. Adam is more fun onstage than Freddie was. Both reach across the stage lights and connect with the audience, but Adam is more lighthearted with a sense of humor and a little absurdity. When Freddie was at the piano, the audience connection was reduced. Adam is out front and interacting throughout the whole concert.
7. Adam is more enjoyable to look at. Beautiful. Graceful. Moving like a dancer.
Adam is not a great substitute for Freddie. Not a great replacement.
Adam is a great frontman and lead singer and co-creator for the best Queen show ever mounted. Period. Full stop.

I also agree with Adam as co-creator and like to think of him as a master sculptor when he's up there on stage.

Cassie, haven't posted in awhile, but had to express how spot on your comment was concerning the Adam vs Freddie debate.

Thanks Las Vegas folks for welcoming us all so warmly. Til soon - Bri now we have a confirmation from Adam’s side - the QAL journey is continuing! ..which I’d think is to be expected, especially with BR the movie potential for generating a huge Queen popularity resurgence... = very encouraging news on QAL side on the other hand Shosh’s Tweet posted in OP re A4 (“I didn’t say that”) is telling me we have a long wait for solo stuff... I’m still holding on to the hope for 2019...
