I think Adam is still in London. Yesterday in the late afternoon Oliver posted an Instagram Story from a plane, which indicated that he traveled back home. Adam has become rather active on social media since then, so that I don’t think he has left London yet.

Adam interviews Sam Sparro, but lots of Adam in this article. Article orginally published February 24, 2020, but they just tweeted it out again. Sam Sparro and Adam Lambert Are Part of the Rhythm Nation
(skipped intro before Adam mention) For Interview, Sparro called up his friend and frequent co-writer Adam Lambert to discuss making queer music and reminisce about one particularly wild Halloween party with Snoop Dogg and Miley Cyrus.
ADAM LAMBERT: Your last album was back in 2012, which I loved by the way. What happened between then and now? What kept you from releasing a new project?
SAM SPARRO: Thank you. Well, girl, it’s so funny because we’ve been friends for, god, I want to say almost 12 years?
LAMBERT: I know. You wrote a song with me on my first album, For Your Entertainment.
SPARRO: We go way fucking back. Do you remember when I was living in that loft?
LAMBERT: Yeah, I think I came to a party there once.
SPARRO: I was going through a total fucking personal crisis. I was like, smoking crack and drinking alone when I lived there.
LAMBERT: Shit. So, there’s that.
SPARRO: It feels really good to just be super honest and open about my life now. I just feel ready. Honestly, the time in between Return to Paradise, which is when I was trying to get myself together, and now—so much of that time was just about getting well.
LAMBERT: And now you’re sober, correct?
SPARRO: Seven years.
LAMBERT: That’s amazing, congratulations. After all that time getting sober and getting everything back together, what finally motivated you to get back in the studio for this project?
SPARRO: I’ve done some collabs and co-writes very selectively because I don’t like random people in my space. I finally—and I know you can relate to this—I felt like I stopped chasing a hit. I stopped chasing whatever was on the radio, or what I thought people wanted me to make. I just was like, “Fuck it, I’m going to make exactly what I want to make.” Which is a very nostalgic pop album celebrating my childhood. Life is too short. We just have to make what we love so we can stand next to, and be proud of it. I think people respond to that.
LAMBERT: At the end of the day, if you’re going to put yourself out there and put your name on something, it has to be something that you love. It can’t be something that’s plugged into some sort of commercial trend, that everyone says is the new thing, if it doesn’t work for you. It just doesn’t make any sense. I completely relate to you on that.
SPARRO: I mean, it’s nice when those two things line up.
LAMBERT: You have to play the game, to a point. I think having that artistic integrity is super important. It’s the only thing that we can really claim as ours. Hats off to you, I think that’s great. I was just listening to the album before this phone call. What I love about it is that it’s so specific. I hear your influences in it, I hear the time period that you’re honoring. It is fully nostalgic. My favorite kind of artistry is when you reference something and then put a twist on it. That’s you in there, I hear you.
SPARRO: I feel like this, more than any other project, is me not just as a songwriter and a singer, but really as a producer. I’m super proud of the production that I’ve done on this album. The vocal production, making that really modern and polished, does bring it into the contemporary landscape. I feel like Kanye West a little bit when people are like, “Well, what are you listening to?” And I’m like, “I’m listening to myself because my music is the shit.”
LAMBERT: I do the same thing. Absolutely.
SPARRO: You’ve really inspired me a lot over the years. I admire you so much. I’m so glad we’re friends and I’m so glad we work together. I’m just so proud of you and this record that you’ve made, as well. Because it’s the best stuff you’ve ever done.

Adam has said he would be leaving after Halloween. No, he said he'd be home for Halloween.

Here is a post from nica575 where she talks about what Adam said in October 14, 2020 Amazon chat: So I think that means Adam will be doing Halloween in London Nope, he said in the chat he’ll be at home for Halloween. Also, he suggested Pharaoh to be dressed as Cleopatra. Lol! It's always good to have references and I do believe that nica575 is real adamtopia.com/post/972029

And for anyone interested in queen online deliveries, the vinyl came today. the CD with sweatshirt came last week. The sweatshirt is so soft - I love it. I got my copy of the UK independent record store red vinyl today too! I am not sure what to do with it. I want to open it to see it. I want to keep it closed so that I can add it to my Queen collection! Not the biggest dilemma in my life but a fun problem because I win either way!
