??? Bowie is legally resident in Ireland (for tax purposes), where his principle residence is located. Irish tax law holds that musicians, artists and writers do not pay tax on royalty income generated from resale of their products. Bowie's Irish residence is a 640-acre estate located a short distance from Dublin.www.teenagewildlife.com/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/torrie/fom.cgi?_recurse=1&file=9And, so there you go, Adam flew into Dublin to rehearse with Bowie before they sing Under Pressure tomorrow on the EMA's. |

Thanks!! 9 pm your time is, I think, 5 pm here... Doesn't your clock go back an hour today or tomorrow? Yes; officialy DST ends at 2:00 am on Sunday. so, right now it's 3:05 PM CDT and before we go to bed tonight, we will set the clocks BACK one hour. Tomorrow I plan on continuing to check the MTVEMA website to make sure I'm online at the correct time! Do NOT want to miss anything! ;D ;D |

I had wondered if Adam flew to Dublin, because flights to Belfast were simply sold out. Perhaps his inclusion in this has not been so planned out, but rather more last minute, so flights were booked.
But....hearing how Bowie is a resident of Ireland, living outside of Dublin....hmmmm... I would love for Adam to meet him and perform. Do we know what the illness is that Sharon Osbourne spoke of on "The Talk" when Adam was on the show? I hope it isn't too bad.
(All this talk about Queen has made me sad about the early death of Freddie Mercury.)
I also have to say that I loved that Adam has held Madonna's advice so close to his experience with fame. "Eyes on the prize." Honestly, this had to have been the singular piece of advice given to him that he has used the most. Wise woman, wise man to hear the wisdom of those words.

To be clear the link provided said Bowie maintained this residence for tax purposes only and also that he has never spent much time there. I think he "really" lives in NYC and Bermuda. |

I am sure "managing the expectations" was discussed as well (I've scrolled a lot lately) - I am trying very hard to read Adam's tweets with as much skepticism as I can possibly muster, so that whatever his role turns out to be at the EMAs I would not get disappointed. I am "downgrading" as we go: from my initial hope for the NEW SINGLE + QUEEN ---->to just QUEEN ----->to just ONE OF THE QUEEN tribute participants ----->to a presenter-----.to interviewer on the RC... I did rule out the"sitting in the audience" based on the "much more" tweet... is there anything else I have not thought about? I am also prepared to try an ignore the hair situation, and I keep telling myself that what he has is the "IN" style and it is therefore "good" for appealing to the European youth.   Pretty much sums it up for me. (Sorry you might not be able to follow live, BB) Whatever happens, I CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW!!!   |

When he isn't working he spends most of his time in Bermuda..is what it says. |
