I only remember watching the sit down HH from Elvis. Obvs I missed the stand up medley. Actually Adam is better fitted for the stand up version.....you really need a guitar to sing HH from a chair. Yes, we need Adam standing and moving in all black leather!!!

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

Good question. Too expensive? The other group is already booked? (and is of course able to sing a Queen song. Who can’t? 😉) Or the responsible people belong to those Queen fans, that hate QAL? Maybe someone will ask Brian or Roger. The singer from Panic At the Disco can indeed sing Bohemian Rhapsody. Or at least they say. He's being mentioned as a good substitute for Adam on several YT's. He sung it before and people liked it. But still having someone else do a tribute to a band which is still doing world wide tours seems absurd. NOBODY can be a substitute for Adam as a singer of Queen's music. Not in my book. Never! I understand it's a tribute to Queen so they wont another singer/band to sing it. Still, nobody can do justice Queen songs except for Adam. Can't help it.

Here is a video of Elvis singing Heartbreak Hotel at the 68 Comeback Special. Note that it is a medley of Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, and All Shook Up. Also note that the staging is with Elvis on a small B-Stage surrounded and all sides by the audience. The May 2018 news article I quoted above says the staging from the original comeback show will be replicated in the tribute special. And the casting call mentions shooting "in the round". Just another clue that the Oct 10-11 taping may be for the Elvis Comeback tribute special. youtu.be/c5xj4i8NnacI feel sure this is definitely what Adam was talking about....TV project with a group of people. plus lelemaple's indication on good authority it's an Elvis TV project. Lots of press about it back in May. Not sure why it isn't being filmed in Nashville like it says in the NBC link....but the original 1968 show was also filmed in Burbank. It says in that casting notice that 2 shows are being filmed. Doesn't say that one show being filmed over two nites. That's kinda odd....The other "star" choices are interesting as well. I think we can safely assume Adam will be doing HH. Hope he does the whole medley....but that might be too much to ask for. ETA: Hope Adam leaves off all the Elvis silliness during HH....lol. Is it too much to hope he allows his natural appearance closeness to Elvis show through....ie clean shaven, leather clad and sexy hair!!

IKR? ...we can only hope... however, what will Adam do vocally? If it is supposed to be a recreation will Adam try to “recreate” the voice - which is a baritone, and the performance style - which does not involve much singing really... very interesting....

Actually, I prefer Adam to FM, and that’s why I understand Freddie purists’ feelings (unless they get overly nasty) - same imprint on the specific voice and style.

I decided to not get all upset about the Panic At The Disco guy singing BoRap. It's just one part of the show. The guy will likely do a good job. But I agree that I can't think of anyone who could do a better job than Adam. Just ask Brian and Roger. I watched the AMAs just one time. It was Adam's infamous night. I didn't watch it before that, and I haven't watched it since. I'm not worried that Brian and Roger will suddenly replace Adam with the PITD guy. LOL.
As for the Elvis tribute show, I think our speculation about Adam's role in it is probably correct. I can visualize him singing HH, and maybe even something else, on that show. I assume it's a one-time TV special. Sounds like great exposure for Adam. He's is rarely on American TV. Can't wait to see it!
