I am happy to know he is “rescheduling “, so once he is 100% in his singing power he’ll continue the promo. It must be awfully hard for Adam to have to cancel the critical promo opportunities , so I hope he will be accommodated by the shows and all the appearances will get rescheduled.

I see that AL misses The Voice. Where is the Queen part? Or did they correct it?

It seems obvious to me that Adam does not want to make public statements about cancelling his scheduled performances, and probably about his health. I find nothing surprising about that. Many times in the past when he has had difficulties health wise, management wise, logistics wise, he has said almost nothing about it until much later if at all. He also seems to operate on the philosophy that part of taking care of that instrument is denying that there are any problems. Keeping a positive frame of mind while doing everything he can to stay healthy.
Of course I am disappointed that he has cancelled, for whatever reason. I am encouraged that, if he is sick, he is guarding his voice rather than trying to push on when he cannot do his best and could damage his precious voice doing so.
Last month I had a killer cold, and could no more have sung than done pirouettes across an airport runway. I had to cancel appointments and commitments for over a week. But it was the responsible, and basically, only thing to do until I fought my way thru it. Which I did without any lasting health concerns. If that happened to me, it could happen to Adam. I'm not worried.

twitter.com/hornet/status/1181624549223346182Hornet @hornet "Welcome to the beginning of Adam Lambert’s Golden Age. We can’t wait for Side B." buff.ly/35aHADyI have two dreams about Adam Lambert, neither of which are sexual. In the first dream, Lambert’s powerful jackhammer of a voice approaches a level of over-the-top camp that’s deathly to critics and catnap to fans of crazy, bold electro pop. In the second, the first openly gay man to score a number-one album, learns to negotiate the nuance of his instrument and grows into an artist of emotional purity and subtlety. The critic in me longs for the latter, but the fan in me asks, “Where’s the fun in that?” Velvet: Side A, the first release of two planned EPs, unequivocally answers that there isn’t. The EP, a brief 21-minute, six-track blast of modern funk (with one ballad for good measure), starts over-the-top and flies up into the stratosphere from there. The best funk has always made room for social commentary — think of Stevie Wonder’s “Living for the City” or Prince’s “Controversy” — and such is the case with opener “Superpower,” a rocking dance floor banger that’s a call-out to current political ugliness and a gay anthem on the level of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.” This bifurcation — the inherent fun of a forward-moving groove with some personal-is-political lyrics — is the bedrock of Lambert’s work here. “I think we have to hold on to an idealistic vision, otherwise, how are we going to reach towards hope?” Lambert has asked. “If we don’t, all of us will give up and be indifferent. We need to keep pushing, otherwise all the bigots are going to win! And we can’t let that happen.” How do we accomplish this? In Lambert’s world, visibility is the key. Flamboyance isn’t a pejorative but the way forward. “Stranger You Are” warns us not to hide our authentic selves, while closer “Ready to Run” urges, through its first-person narrative, young outsiders to find their safe haven to never be “scared of straight men.” And while the more serious content of Velvet: Side A bodes well for the longevity of Lambert’s career, the heart (or groin) of the record lives in the erotic overlay of the slinky Prince-beats of “Loverboy” and the falsetto-crazy indie pop of “Overglow,” tracks that are of-the-moment and intended to supersede it. “The intention was that [the EP would] feel more timeless,” he has said. “It wouldn’t be something that would sound out of date in three years. A lot of it came from referencing songs from the past: ‘70s piano singer-songwriter pop, funk and soul music, Motown — a lot of things people still love.” In other words: classic. Welcome to the beginning of Adam Lambert’s Golden Age. We can’t wait for Side B. Adam Lambert’s Velvet: Side A is out now.

twitter.com/billboard/status/1181623293482328065billboard @billboard "At some point, you have to break through the ceiling and discuss trans or non-binary issues and I’m so proud of Sam." blbrd.cm/ojJDwOAdam Lambert Congratulates Sam Smith On Coming Out as Non-Binary, Calls For 'Empathy' It's been a whirlwind year of pop superstar Sam Smith -- after officially coming out as non-binary in March, just last month, Smith publicly announced they were changing their preferred pronouns to "they/them." Now, they have yet another celebrity standing in their corner: Adam Lambert. In a new interview with NME, Lambert spoke about Smith's coming out, saying that he understands what they're experiencing in terms of added attention. "The media loves something that feels new and ten years ago -- in America anyway -- there wasn’t a lot of mainstream music people identifying as gay, so it was a novelty, and I feel there might be some parallels there," he said. "On a personal level, I’m really happy for Sam that they’ve found their truth and they’re feeling liberated by it.” Lambert continued saying that ultimately, Smith's public coming-out has the potential to help further destigmatize the public discussion surrounding non-binary identities. "At some point, you have to break through the ceiling and discuss trans or non-binary issues and I’m so proud of Sam," Lambert said. "They’re really doing a bold thing." Since Smith came out, some online trolls (and Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan) have criticized the singer, saying that they changed their pronouns and came out in order to garner positive publicity. Lambert, however, has a message for those people. "If you stop for a minute and make it not about you and put yourself in the shoes of the person that’s being talked about and try to understand their experience -- just for a second -- you’ll realize what’s being asked is just that you be a decent human being," he said. "People get defensive, saying ‘How dare you ask me to change the way I think!’, and just a little empathy would help.” twitter.com/BillboardPride/status/1181615329371443200Billboard Pride @billboardpride Legends supporting legends! @adamlambert said he's "so happy" for @samsmith, and asked that online detractors start practicing some empathy. blbrd.cm/yzzl7q
